Technical illustration is the use of designs to visually communicate information to a nontechnical audience. It can include components of technical drawings or diagrams.  Technical illustrators create detailed drawings to help people understand complex scientific or technical information. Such illustrations are used in reference books, textbooks, instruction manuals and technical sales brochures. Technical illustration may also include production of images for multimedia software, film and television, websites and architectural visualizations. Illustrators use a variety of software programs such as AutoCAD, Photoshop, MS Office, and Adobe Flash Builder to create technical graphics.

What Does a Technical Illustrator Do?

A technical illustrator designs and creates visual representations for the products and services which are offered by an organization. The illustrations are used in technical manuals and publications. A technical drawing illustrator will use advanced design computer programs to create illustrations. Technical illustration professionals work in conjunction with design teams and technical writers to create a variety of technical drawings or diagrams.
