How to find and work with an illustrator
Illustrations are an important part of many textbooks and peer reviewed papers because they can help explain concepts in ways that photographs can't. According to Joanne Haderer Muller, a board certified medical illustrator and Chair of the Board of the
Association of Medical Illustrators: "Illustrations have many advantages over photographs. For example, illustrations can show readers an average, rather than a specific, example of a concept, procedure, animal, or anatomical arrangement. They can show detail that may be lost or hidden in a photograph, can help explain things at a molecular or cellular level, and can show how a process unfolds over time to really explain the author's message."
