    Illustration: A Theoretical and Contextual Perspective is a comprehensive guide to contemporary illustration. It provides readers with an understanding of the theory, research, conceptual processing and contexts involved in illustration practice.

    This book describes a variety of definitions and philosophies of illustration, together with a relevant historical overview.

    Illustration introduces the notion of the illustrator as a socially and culturally aware communicator: an able professional with knowledge, understanding and insight regarding the context within which they are working and the subject matter that they are engaged with.
