Talk:Technical illustration

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is Technical Illustration dead? I've been a Technical Illustrator for almost 30 years now and every year there seems to be less and less work. Hardly anyone has the budget these days for an Illustration that can take months of work.

I agree. As an illustrator for over 20 years, it seems like it is not valued as much as it used to be or the quality is not as important. CAD and 3D seems to be the quick and easy solutions.

By the way, why does the definition of this continue to change by people who seem to have no idea what technical illustration is all about? "...to complete the operation of a procedure". Not necessarily. "Photographs"? Please! It is not called Technical Photographs.

I would go ahead and change it again but it keeps getting changed back OR is get grouped into technical writing.
