If your organization needs to educate the public on an important issue, you need illustrated educational materials. I provide complete writing, editing, illustration and design of easy-to-read educational materials that help people understand your issues.

Whether it's global economics or local community development, health care or food security, environmental crisis or action on human rights, illustrated educational materials can help bring your organization's issues to a wider audience.

1) Plain language writing/editing
Normally speaking, organizations already have some text to work with. The problem? It's just too highfalutin to interest the average Joe or Jane. That's where "plain language editing" comes in. I'll take your text and edit or re-write it in order to "popularize" the language. That means making academic, technical, or otherwise exclusive language more understandable to a wider audience.

2) Cartoon illustration
Next I integrate the text with my own hand-drawn, thematic and narrative cartoon illustrations. Narrative characters interact with the text by verbalizing some of the most important concepts. This dynamic interaction between text and illustrations helps maintain the reader's interest, thereby increasing their comprehension of the subject matter.

3) Graphic design
Just as important as the text and the illustrations is the framework into which it all fits — the graphic design. Interesting page layout and attractive graphic elements help guide the reader through the ideas. The graphic design component includes page layout, computer illustration, text design, image editing and colour application, prepress electronic file preparation, electronic delivery and coordination of print jobs.
