What is illustration? Can it be defined in one medium? Only drawings (traditional with pen and paper), or drawing with different kind of materials? What type of illustration is there and can I use as an inspiration source for this publication?

Do I want to use other peoples work and zoom in the craft and deconstruct the illustration? Do I want to illustrate some bits of the layout myself? What is my voice(?) 'drawing-style'

Lora Lamm (b.1928) is a Swiss graphic designer Lora Lamm is best known for her ten glorious years of work in Milan, from 1953 to 1963, when she designed packaging, posters and invitations for La Rinascente department store, Pirelli, and Olivetti. Lamm’s own style mixes typography with illustration, organising the space in an uncluttered, rigorous way, where everything serves the purpose of clarity.

In 1958, Lamm headed the creative department of La Rinascente department store, where she worked until 1962.
