Original illustration
DG’s creative director
Michael Ulrich
searched for an illustration
with a community
theme and
a large age span.
Although this piece
from liquidlibrary is
keyworded under
“family reunion,”
with a few changes
it works perfectly.
“Fortunately, almost
every character in this
piece was drawn separately,
so edits were
easy,” Ulrich says.

Typography
“Linotype’s Rockwell
is a slab serif geometric
with a large
x-height that is ideal
for readability,” says
Ulrich. “It also works
well for all ages and
isn’t too ‘cartoony.’”
ITC Lubalin Graph
is another slab serif
that would work.

New characters
The church committee
requested that a
priest be added to
the illustration. Ulrich
took the older man,
flipped him horizontally,
changed his hair,
eyes, and smile, and
added a Roman collar.

Skin color
There are as many
skin tones as there
are people, and the
human eye tends to
be forgiving when it
comes to skin color.
You shouldn’t be too
extreme when illustrating
traditional,
realistic skin tones,
but if the need arises,
don’t limit yourself.
Here are three simple
palettes for skin color,
plus one very extreme
skin color. |
