Illustrations in Academia

In academia, the uses of illustrations are numerous. They can help research participants fully understand the studies they are involved in, encouraging greater engagement and adherence. Illustrations also foster interdisciplinary communication, ensuring research is accessibly to those without specialised knowledge. From grant proposals, to research publications, and even participant infographics, illustrations can have a profound impact.

Here are some examples of illustrations made for academia.
