Illustration

Our illustration projects range from detailed electrical schematics, to isometric component drawings, to 3D modeled scenes rendered in a variety of styles for just as many uses.

Solution: Product Cutaway

Providing a cutaway illustration of the construction of their valve was the only option for this client, since a physical cutaway is not possible without destroying the product. A 3D model was built from Engineering drawings, and the product rendered.

Solution: 3D Product Rendering/Branding Image

Using a human to model a headset would have required the expense of hiring models of every ethnic background and photo shoot. The simple solution was to build a model of one of the client's headphone products and place it on a model of the human head. The head color could then be stylized to represent all ethnic backgrounds without prejudice.

Solution: Prototype Component Rendering

Promotional images of a new reed relay product were required while still in the prototype stage. A 3D model was built and assembled from Engineering drawings. Individual renderings were done for each component in turn. These renderings were then composited in registration, so that "cutaways" could be added to reveal layers and hidden components within. The completed composite of the product was further combined with photos of the actual prototype components, and a portion of one of the source drawings.

Solution: Cover Art for Trade Publication

Someone at ECN Magazine saw the reed relay illustration (see previous image above) that we had done for a press release for one of our clients. We were approached by the magazine and asked if we would be interested in creating a cover illustration for an upcoming issue. We were allowed complete artistic freedom with two caveats — a focus on reed relays, (which was their feature editorial in that issue) and technical accuracy. [We think the editor missed the point with his "Live Long and Prosper" tagline, but that was his artistic freedom!]

Solution: 3D Scene Rendering for Advertisement

This 3D scene is one of the more complex we've created for still images for our clients. The intent (aside from playing on the winning hand/sure bet, no gamble cliché) was to showcase the product family in a different way than a bunch of product "head shots." The entire scene was modeled and rendered without the card faces, which were composited in later.

Solution: 3D Package Mockup

Our client needed to both visualize how their product would look in a plastic clamshell package, and to verify that it would fit within a particular size package. The 3D model of both the product and package are dimensionally accurate.

Solution: Schematic Drawing

This is a very typical electronic schematic. This one is part of the power control circuit for a portable welding system.
