Abstract

A technical editor does three things in editing technical illustrations: (1) he makes changes in the rough art sketched out by the originator; (2) he makes changes in the finished art prepared by the illustrator; and (3) he makes changes in the production art that is prepared for printing. The editor and illustrator are mutually dependent on each other in the task of producing clear graphical supplements to the text, and they should therefore cooperate closely with each other.
