What do you mean by "spot"? Are you talking about the color palette or something else? Awesome pic by the way.

Hi Tom :) Thanks! A spot illustration is a small illustration made to work in a magazine article or advertisement, etc. Sometimes their vignettes and sometimes not. Anyways, a lot of magazines and other businesses want spot illustrations because they are cheap and small,etc... I like to think of it as a step up from clip art.

Thanks for the reply. Reason I ask is because the only time I ever heard the term spot applied to artwork was when prepping for production printing and in reference to PMS/Spot colors or Pantone color matching. Thanks...

There are always so many confusing terms in art it seems like. Somebody mentioned to me that my art work should be considered "vexel" because it imitates the appearance of vector art but is rasterized. I didn't even know what vexel was. Anyways, I haven't heard of either of those spot terms you're referring to...PMS means something completely different to me :)

PMS..hahaha...yeah, guess it could have another meaning. I often hear people say "spot printing" in that they need color matching codes or reference numbers, but I only learned that from submitting work for customers. What happens is the print company will come back to tell me they need CMYK instead of RGB or what are the spot colors. Usually for printing press stuff like silk screens or plate printing, where they only use 3 colors or such they want the individual colors for each layer. This is another reason I don't merge the layers, so they can do color matching more precisely in the final print by opening our files with all the layers in tact for separation.

Oh OK that makes sense. I know I should get in the habit of keeping my stuff in layers, but it just becomes a big mess. I hope I never have to worry about the color matching and codes and whatnot. Sounds intense. So far I haven't so I guess that's a good sign. :)
