The Latin letter i may be used either as a vowel or a consonant. When used as a consonant, it often is replaced by the letter j, which originally, was simply an orthographic long i that was used in initial positions and when it occurred between two other vowels.
Illustration by Jessie Willcox Smith (1863â1935) An illustration is a decoration, interpretation or visual explanation of a text, concept or process, designed for integration in published media, such as posters, flyers, magazines, books, teaching materials, animations, video games and films. The origin of the word âillustrationâ is late Middle English: via Old French from Latin illustratio, from the verb illustrate.
Pictorial drawing. A view of an object (actual or imagined) as it would be seen by an observer who looks at the object either in a chosen direction or from a selected point of view.Pictorial sketches often are more readily made and more clearly understood than are front, top, and side views of an object.). Oblique pictorial drawings, while not true orthographic views, offer a convenient method for drawing circles and other curves in their true shape (Fig. 2). In order to reduce the distortion in an oblique drawing, measurements along the receding axis may be foreshortened.
