Pictures speak a thousand words. We take your design beyond just text and photographs and make custom illustrations (icons, logos, idents etc.) to express your products, services and ideas. Illustrations are more than just pictures. They capture the essence of something in a simple visual representation that is inherently understandable.

Cave paintings are one of the earliest forms of illustration and visual communication, expressing information about people and their environment over time. We don't paint cave walls but Leaf Media can help you communicate a range of ideas, emotions and processes through images designed specifically for you.

If you need to explain how to use your product, how to find your office, or how your great idea will work in practice (if only the bank would lend you the money) then illustrations will help. A great example of this kind of illustration is the safety card you find on aeroplanes. These convey information quickly and easily in a language everyone understands without the need the need for any words at all.

Unlike straightforward photographs, illustrations convey a mood and give your products and services an immediate personality. From the loose flowing sketches typical of fashion design to the clean lines of 'artist's impressions' in architects' offices, our illustrations really do speak a thousand words.

Illustration on the web takes on a new life with interactive images that provide even more than those in print. By applying 'hotspots' that react to your cursor you can now see the back of a product, for example, or can show a complex process in action. A quick and easy way to show how to build your flat-pack furniture or any other product; or an engaging and beautiful way to illustrate a journey over time and space.

Of course, illustration can be the product itself. Perhaps you want an image for the office wall or just some cards to send to friends. Whatever your needs, get in touch and lets discuss your ideas.
