This illustration named as "The Bear is the forest" is part of a series that Jenni Saarenkylä did and I took it from Computer Arts magazine summer 09. Because it monochromatic the image is unified by color, and because the diagonal line the trees and birds draw the image is also dynamic.

This is an illustration from Marta Antelo, I like the child and abstract style she has in her illustrations and the texture she applies. It seems as if the illustration was old.

what attracted me of this design from ID magazine 2007 is that the image is trimmed out from the page so you can see through it and see the colors that are in the next page. The image is very clean and the warm color palette help the organic shapes that are in contrast with the sharp edges from the trim.
