Illustrations for important, hard-to-explain topics.
Illustration
We transform hard-to-explain documents, reports, and strategies into clear illustrations. And, Sam has a special knack for creating abstract diagrams that you can’t make with powerpoint – so they’re beautiful and useful. Our illustrations are created with edits based on your feedback. Be located anywhere.
Ensure it looks exactly right
We’ll collaborate and create drafts, to ensure the final images are exactly what you need.
Choose from a range of styles, from something drawn and lettered by hand, to a highly polished graphic that perfectly fits your brand standards.
Illustrations are created based on text that you provide, or, we’ll facilitate conversations to gather and refine the ideas and messages.
We make it easy to collaborate. You can be located anywhere.
Not your ‘usual’ illustrations
We make illustrations for not-so-usual topics, and for formats that are hard to explain.
Types of illustrations include:
- Research findings
- Knowledge mobilization
- Visual strategic plans
- Models, diagrams, system maps
- Theory of Change
- Science communication
- Journey Mapping (patients, clients, members)
- Visual reports/ summaries / evaluation
- Curriculum / small illustrations
We love a deep dive topic. Recent collaborations include visualizing:
- Intake process for a community legal centre
- Promoting rural Personal Health Records
- Visual strategic plan for a university faculty
- Curriculum to prevent camel-human disease transmission (they sleep standing up!)
- Model for Restorative Healthcare
- Fisheries Resources Reconciliation Agreement, and more.
We’ll make it easy to collaborate
Engagement: we’re experienced in working on projects that include engagement and outreach. This might include equity-deserving communities, people with lived/living experience, with different internal stakeholder groups and external communities. We’ll create a flexible approach for your project, because we also value “nothing about us, without us”.
You can be located anywhere.
Translations: we can create translated illustrations if you provide us with the text. We’ve created bilingual illustrations in French, Spanish, Inuktitut, Greenlandic, and more!
When you need to communicate an important and hard-to-explain topic – show people why it matters with compelling illustrations.
