Illustration has long been overlooked in the realm of critical discourse, with both academics and the media treating it as a subset of design rather than a distinct discipline in its own right. This lack of recognition has hindered the development of a robust critical history for illustration, limiting its potential for scholarly exploration and analysis. However, there is a growing recognition of the importance of illustration as a creative and expressive medium, and this has led to the emergence of Illustration Research Methods, a book that seeks to fill the void in critical discourse surrounding contemporary illustration practice and research.

The book is divided into several chapters, each exploring different roles within the illustration industry and the potential sources of research that can be drawn from these roles. For example, the chapter on Reporting discusses the role of illustration in journalism and media, while the chapter on Education explores the use of illustration in educational contexts. By structuring the book in this way.

The book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in exploring the rich critical theory and diverse practices of contemporary illustration. Supported by a wealth of case studies from international educators and student projects alongside those of world-renowned illustrators, the book provides users with a comprehensive understanding of the field. It allows users to contextualize their learning and gain insight into the thought processes and techniques employed by some of the greatest illustrators of our time.

In conclusion, Illustration Research Methods is a groundbreaking book that fills a critical gap in the literature on contemporary illustration. By providing a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the study and practice of illustration, the book offers a valuable resource for students, educators, and practitioners alike. Its innovative approach to research and its wealth of case studies make it an essential read for anyone interested in advancing the field of illustration.
