Conceptual Illustration

Another great reference for illustration is theispot http://www.theispot.com Go to portfolios and search under category, subject, style and medium. In this case, click on the category editorial and humorous. You can see examples of "conceptual" and "humorous" under the "style" category.  This will give you more of an idea of the differences between the two. They also have a category on "Character Development" and "Medical Illustration." It's fun to poke around  to see various styles from different illustrtators for inspiration. I found this great example of an conceptual illustration that relates to our own assignment. I found this illustration by Shaw Nielson under the "medical" category. Very simple and graphic, but tells a story effectively without a single word. This could be about germs in the corporate world? But hopefully you get the idea.
