“I’ve enjoyed working with Faith on artwork for my writing projects. She is extremely meticulous, organized, and knowledgeable in her field, and uses her vast experience to make meaningful suggestions. I notice that she spends time and effort to understand the project first. I am most impressed by her keen eye for detail. Revisions are rarely required and the finished artwork looks great.”

Nidhi Bhargava
Senior Technical Writer
Juniper Networks

I have had the awesome privilege to work with Faith for over seven years at Juniper Networks where I am a Sr. Technical Writer. On one huge book project, Faith developed over 200 hundred illustrations. She works well with
written or spoken art specifications, with little or no corrections. She provides excellent recommendations based on her broad art exposure. In all of the years working with Faith, I’ve never missed one deadline. She always delivers my artwork AHEAD of schedule. Sometimes, I approach her with artwork that’s due on a short notice, and she always delivers with quality; professionally!

Working with Faith is always enjoyable. She is flexible and easy to communicate with regarding design changes. Faith also contributes ideas for making an illustration better. Her work is clean and she has always delivered it before
the deadline. I\\'d
use her again!

Dave
Art Director
Apple Inc.

When I took on the role of Publishing Manager at 2Wire,
I inherited Faith
as the contract illustrator for all of
our documentation.

There were very few times that I didn’t open one of Faith’s deliverables and say, “Yes, perfect!” She makes sure she thoroughly understands your request before starting the job and produces exactly what you asked for the first time around. There was very little rework that ever had to be done unless it was a change on our side, which she graciously took in stride. Faith sets reasonable, realistic turnaround dates yet is flexible in an emergency and never failed to meet her commitments.

Overall, Faith is an exceedingly pleasant, responsible, responsive, talented individual that will allow you to concentrate on all the other things that can go terribly wrong in a fast-paced publishing environment content that this will not. Her work and her work ethic are superb.

Bev Rickher, Operations Program Manager, Aruba Networks

Case Studies that Demonstrate Success

Below are two case studies that illustrate Blue Moon Productions’ process for developing successful technical illustration projects.

1. Abbott Diabetes Kit
2. Polycom SoundStation Security Kit

CASE STUDY NO. 1
Abbott Diabetes Kit

Problem:
Abbott needed a technical illustrator to develop a series of illustrative steps to demonstrate the procedure for using an insulin pump.

Solution:
Blue Moon Productions was contacted and hired to develop the technical illustrations.

Design & Illustration Process:
The project began with a meeting with the product Marketing Manager. He demonstrated the steps required for attaching the insulin catheter to the body. Faith took notes and reference photos of each step.

For this project, Faith was able to borrow all components and bring them back to her studio which gave her the opportunity to photograph each component from the same point of reference for consistent orientation and lighting. The line art was then created from her photo reference.

Files were returned to the client and the procedural step art was reviewed in context in a draft of the user guide. Revisions were made to the art a few weeks into the project to reflect changes that were made in the hardware design as the product was finalized.

Success:
The following series of illustrations were created for the insulin pump. Click on the illustrations below to view and enlarge them. (Portfolio Navigation)

CASE STUDY NO. 2
Polycom SoundStation Security Kit

Problem:
Teleconference phones were being stolen from conference rooms within companies that used them. A security kit was developed that secured the phone to the table so they cannot be easily removed.

Solution:
Polycom needed an inexpensive step-by-step instructional insert that could be xeroxed and shipped with SoundStation Security Kit. Blue Moon Productions was contacted and hired to develop the insert.

Design & Illustration Process:
Prior to starting the project, Faith Bradford met with hardware designer of the security kit. He demonstrated the prototype and lent her the hardware. Faith then photographed each step and used the photographs as reference for the illustrations. A sketch was created for each graphic step. Faith also wrote the corresponding instructions.

Success:
Upon content approval, a simple instruction sheet was designed and illustrated. Click on the illustrations below to enlarge them. (Portfolio Navigation)
