"This book examines the breadth and use of illustration... Targeting the latter stages of undergraduate development and post-graduate study there is a particular focus on theory, research, conceptual processing, visual language analysis and the contexts of illustration practice. It also introduces the concept of illustrator as a specialist or authority on a particular subject or as an originator of either fiction and/or non-fiction material"--Back cover.
