and hand artists’ expertise includes line drawing, situational and conceptual art, photorealistic images, music setting, and maps. They are equipped to handle art for all subjects, from mathematics to computers and chemistry to engineering. Our artists can create a graphic from a simple text description, work from a photo, or replicate an existing image, adapting it as necessary to your requirements. We can also research and create localized artwork tailored to the place of publication. Where very specific expertise is required, we draw on a broad pool of freelancers. Our medical illustrators, for instance, work with freelance anatomists to ensure that the final artwork is 100% accurate. Quality MPS has developed a range of in-house tools to validate all artwork at two stages in the production workflow: first, before the graphic is sent for typesetting; and second, a final pre-flight check before the printer files are dispatched. These pre-flighting tools ensure that all artwork we prepare for your publications is perfect by the time you go to print. See also: Comics and Animations
