What is the Illustration ad format?

Think of hand-drawn or vector artwork instead of a photograph — the kind of visual you'd see on a high-end product label or a children's book cover, with deliberate artistic flourishes like soft gradients, flat shapes, or whimsical scenes. Brands often use this when they want to convey craft, storytelling, or a premium aesthetic that feels more curated than a standard product shot. It works especially well for lifestyle products like candles, beauty, or food where the packaging itself is part of the appeal.
