A colourful variety!

As there is a variety of everything in the world, cartoons are not just that by name.There are numerous types of them, whether they look the same or  not, they will all have a different concept to function. 


There are two cartoon styles: the cartoony style 
which is less human like and more fun styled like in the image on the right of a duck listening to music with an iPod.





Then the second style is illustration which is totally the opposite of 'cartoony', more human like and more serious style like in the image on the left of Spider"Man". Spiderman is human like, his figure is human like, language he speaks and his lifestyle though he is a superhero.






We also get different types of cartoons such as stop frame animation and there is an image on the right that accompanies this type to show you how it is achieved. A child is doing this they appeal to them more than anyone else.









Anime, this originated in Japan. Their nature is so soft and kind that children relate more to them. They have large eyes and heads and they portray the lives of a child. Check the image on the left out!

Gag cartoons are in a single panel and are often humorous. That one frame gives the whole concept and function of the cartoon. There are literal and non-literal aspects of gag cartoons like in the image on the right. That's what design is. You don't always have to look at everything the way it is.





The difference or variety of the types and styles of cartoons are backed by the designers' purpose. Whether the difference is in the name, physical appearance of the cartoons or the story line, the design behind these figures is crucial because they provide the image.

On the left is a perfect example that cartoons are different in design, concept, look, function, variety and style.

Primarily, cartoons are all about COLOUR!!!
