Mathematics artwork

Nikki M Group creates mathematics illustrations for educational publishers. Services include:

  • planning and preparation to create illustrations
  • auditing manuscripts to determine illustration types and quantities
  • preparing artwork lists for file management
  • creating illustration style guides with specifications and examples
  • scheduling production to get your manuscript ready for typesetting.

The types of illustrations we create include:

  • vector illustration
  • creative artwork
  • three-dimensional (3D) shapes
  • technical diagrams
  • graphs of equations
  • information graphics (infographics).

Nikki M Group offers consultation services and prepares formal quotations to get you started.

Illustration style guides

We develop illustration style guides that define design elements for creating artwork. Elements include:

  • font size and weight
  • line weights and styles
  • colours and shading
  • angles and tick marks
  • grids and column widths.

An illustration style guide is an essential tool for creating consistent illustrations, such as:

  • Venn diagrams
  • probability trees
  • fraction diagrams
  • number lines
  • flow charts
  • graphs
  • dot plots
  • box plots
  • stem-and-leaf plots
  • histograms
  • geometric shapes
  • spreadsheets.

Artwork briefs

Nikki M Group is skilled at fulfilling artwork briefs for mathematics publications.

Authors and editors typically supply artwork briefs that include instructions for creating illustrations. An artwork brief often includes:

  • diagrams
  • rough sketches
  • written descriptions
  • alternative examples
  • spreadsheet data
  • specifications for size
  • file-naming conventions.

3D geometric shapes

We can help you communicate mathematical concepts using:

  • one, two and three-point perspective
  • oblique and isometric perspective.

Technical illustrations

Technical illustrations incorporate measurement, ratio and size, and are useful for:

  • mapping
  • floor plans
  • scale drawings.

Graphing equations

Graphing equations on a Cartesian plane can include:

  • linear graphs
  • parabolas
  • multi-equation graphs
  • trigonometry functions
  • logarithmic functions
  • exponential functions
  • hyperbolas.

Information graphics

We can help you combine graphics and information to communicate complexity or break down concepts. Information graphics can be used for:

  • statistics
  • instructions
  • mind maps
  • organisational charts.

Creative artwork

We can help to create engaging visual tools, including:

  • realia (objects from real life used in classroom instruction)

What is the best format for maths illustrations?

Vector artwork is the best format for mathematical illustration work. The benefits include:

  • keeping file sizes to a minimum
  • the ability to create precise linework
  • good management for colour and fonts
  • exact placement for equations and labels
  • the ability to scale illustrations and maintain image quality.

How should I prepare and manage illustrations?

When preparing and managing illustrations for a mathematics book, there are three important steps:

  1. Create a style guide.
  2. Create an artwork list.
  3. Ensure every illustration has a unique file name.
