Altough there are many ways to transfer a message in visual communication, sarcasim is one of the best tool to do it. In my opinion illustration is one of the best ways to use this tool. It can be used with every mass media like magazines, newspapers, posters, album covers, books and so on. I thought some examples from Gürbüz Doğan’ s works would be proper. Here’s some information and works of the artist.
Gürbüz Doğan Ekşioğlu is a Turkish cartoonist and graphics designer. He has been drawing cartoons since 1977 and holds a total of 64 awards (23 of which are international).
