A contemporary synthesis of the philosophical, theoretical and
practical methodologies of illustration and its future development
Illustration is contextualized visual communication; its purpose is
to serve society by influencing the many aspects of its cultural
infrastructure; it dispenses knowledge and education, it
commentates and delivers journalistic opinion, it persuades,
advertises and promotes, it entertains and provides for all forms
of narrative fiction. A Companion to Illustration explores the
definition of illustration through cognition and research and its
impact on culture. It explores illustration's boundaries and its
archetypal distinction, the inflected forms of its parameters, its
professional, contextual, educational and creative applications.
This unique reference volume offers insights into the expanding

research, and contemporary and post-contemporary context and
