Illustrations
 Illustrations provide the heart of
good documentation. The use of illustrations breaks up the monotonous flow of text
and it can provide speedy clarification of the text.
Good illustrations are more multi-lingual than text - making
translations easier and cheaper; and helping those to whom English is not
their first language. Modern user-friendly documentation definitely has a
mixture of words and pictures.
The production of illustrations for documentation is at
the heart of our work. As authors AND illustrators, we make sure that the
text we write and the illustrations we provide are truly complementary,
and provide a genuine integrated benefit to the reader.
Well-drawn illustrations can also provide a very clear indication of
the documentation having been well-planned; which reinforces the image
of a high-quality product.
 We can provide these types of illustrations:
- Technical illustrations for user, installation or service manuals.
- Flowcharts
for business processes or corporate presentations.
- Process-flow concepts, such as UML diagrams for software developers.
- Assembly diagrams.
- Illustrated parts catalogues.
- Explanatory graphics for new software and
hardware systems.
- Maps and location diagrams.
We can also adapt or use any drawings you already have.
Some of the illustrations you see at thumb-nail size are originated
by us, whereas others have been created based on information imported from
CAD systems. We can handle illustrations to and from most commercially
available packages.
The examples are shown here only at thumb-nail size. The original
electronic images are actually vector-based graphics, and so can be scaled
up to any size and still have smooth curves and shading.
