Illustration

In the  present world satire is a way of commenting on serious issues in a funny way but still getting a serious point or view across . Satire  uses ridicule and or irony to  get people to see specific views that the illustrator sees it is very common in commenting on the governments actions .




 This illustration by Zapiro a famous South African illustrator .in this illustration he uses the common theory of evolution diagram which depicts the leaders of South Africa evolving till Nelson Mandela  and the introduction of democracy and there after the leaders devolved to our current president Jacob Zuma. This illustration comments on how the south African Government after Nelson Mandela is  making the country take steps back and ultimately move backwards instead of forward 






Here is an American illustration which uses satire to comment on the irony of how people watch reality TV shows and complain that the rich and famous need to get a life this is ironic cause the they spend their time watching somebody famous live their life 
Another illustration by Zapiro commenting on how our president dose what ever he sees fit without any care about the justice system as he feels that he is above it it also shows that our other organisations that should be keeping our president within the law do the exact opposite
