Illustrator - Definition and Overview

For the vector-based drawing program from Adobe Systems, see Adobe Illustrator.

An illustrator is a graphic artist that specializes in enhancing written text by providing a graphic representation that corresponds to the content of the associated text. The illustration may be intended to clarify complicated concepts or objects that are difficult to describe textually, or the illustration may be intended for entertainment (such as illustrations in children's literature).
