Illustrations
add excitement and character to your book. Simple, small
illustrations added to the chapter page enhance the
style and layout. Full page illustrations of fictional
characters give the reader a sense of familiarity that
lends credibility to your character development. Maps
and drawings can be used to support your storyline and
lead the reader through the world you have created.
We
work closely with you to find out what type and style
of illustrations will best suit your book. With fictional
work, we look for scenes that have movement and elements
which will create an exciting composition for illustration.
We will ask you what your characters look like, what
emotions should be captured, or what backdrops are appropriate.

Fiction
& Children's Book Illustration
|
| Illustrating
fiction and children's books requires an illustrator
who will get to know your characters. We read your
story closely to find out how your characters, places,
buildings, landscape, and other elements are described
throughout your story to add credibility to your
illustrations. We will work with you, the author,
to storyboard what scenes or characters you would
like illustrated. The elements in the scene of the
illustration are carefully composed to add drama
and emotion. Illustrations in books for very young
readers need to be carefully crafted to match the
story and give the child a clear "picture"
of what the story is telling. The illustrations
are an important part of the book to a child who
is too young to read. Creating illustrations that
a child can relate to and are fun and entertaining
will hold their attention and make the book a favorite
for reading time. |

Technical
Illustrations
|
 |
Technical
illustrations can be used in manuals, self-help
books, fiction, and nonfiction books to help support
information. Step-by-step illustrations of projects
in crafts books, demonstration illustrations in
exercise books, and graphs and charts in diet books
are a few of the different types of technical illustrations.
We work closely with you to make sure your illustrations are both accurate and
easy to understand. |

Fiction,
Nonfiction, and Historical Maps
|
|
Maps are
an important part of many types of books. Maps give the reader a better sense
of where the story took place. Stories with a lot of travel are especially enhanced
by maps that give departure and destination points, important landmarks, and routes
traveled.
We can
create fictional maps based upon places and events
in your storyline. The style of the map can be
created to compliment the style of the story to
lend credibility.
Maps
of real places are created to be accurate in proportion
and with names and places checked to provide accurate
information. Maps can be created in different
styles to compliment the subject of the book.

Charts
and Graphs
|
|
Business
related books, technical papers, and manuals can be greatly enhanced with graphs
and charts by conveying information to the reader in clear, simple, and easy to
understand terms.
Information
pertaining to economics and sociology are excellent candidates for using graphs
and charts. They help break up large sections of technical information and give
the reader a synopsis of the information in an easy to understand form.
Everyone
is familiar with the usual pie charts and linear graphs, but they can also be
offered in much more fun and enjoyable formats. For instance, if you are referring
to how many cups of coffee consumers purchase in an average month, why not use
coffee cups to represent the quantities?
