A painting, drawing, photo, or similar thing that an artist makes for people to look at and enjoy.
Schéma d’usage :
an artwork of [something]
Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes use "artworks" when talking about art in general, e.g. *I like artworks* instead of *I like art*. Use "artwork" or "a piece of artwork" for one object, and "art" for the subject in general. Learners may also call music or novels "artwork"; it is more natural to use "artwork" only for visual art you look at.

|

Pictures or design files that are ready to be used on a book cover, in an ad, on a website, or on a product package.

Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes think this meaning only refers to traditional paintings or drawings. In business and media, "artwork" often means any prepared image or design file, including digital graphics and logos. Learners may also say *do an artwork for the book*; it is more natural to say *create the artwork for the book* or *design the artwork for the book*.

|
illustration (Highlights a picture that explains or decorates text, especially in books and articles.)
|
layout (Emphasizes the arrangement of text and images on a page or screen rather than the artistic style itself.)
|
design (Very broad; can include the whole visual plan, not just the finished image file.)
Antonymes
plain text (Refers to content made only of words with no images or design elements, the opposite of including artwork.)
