Blue Moon Productions - Techinical Illustration

“I worked with Faith for over three years at Juniper Networks. During that time we worked on many projects, from line drawings to full-color
poster artwork. Her creativity helped to ensure that complex
procedures were easily understood
through her illustrations. Faith\'s
attention to detail helped to keep our illustrations consistent across the documentation set.

She was always flexible with our changing
deadlines,
and was understanding when illustrations required
last-minute changes. I enjoyed working with her during my time at
Juniper, and look forward to working with her in the future.”

Testimonials that Speak for Themselves

Faith has been doing work for Schaub&Company since 1991, and remains to this date the very best technical illustrator we know of. In addition to her exceptional talent Faith is just great to work with, maintaining professional business practices and excellent communication skills.

Jack Schaub
Principal, Schaub&Company


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.

Faith Bradford has worked for me at Juniper Networks for ten years as a contract technical illustrator. In fact, she has been the only illustrator we have ever used.

She has created illustrations for all our core routers and router components. Her work is excellent. Faith has a superb sense of perspective and knows how to draw clear illustrations that include all important information and omit unnecessary clutter.

As the only illustrator in the group, Faith designed and documented our illustration standards, and we have propagated these standards across all the company\'s hardware documentation.

We have always found it extremely easy to work with Faith. She understands instructions and asks appropriate questions to clarify her understanding.

Because she is working with a writing team that is documenting brand new hardware, it is often difficult to arrange time for photo shoots of the hardware. Faith has always been flexible with her schedule, sometimes coming in on very short notice to take the photos that she uses to create her illustrations.

Faith is an excellent technical illustrator, the best I have ever worked with.  Her design and illustration work is careful and meticulous, she communicates well, is readily available to respond to questions and provide information, and delivers on or ahead of schedule.  Faith is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of an expert technical illustrator.

I\'ve worked with Blue Moon Productions for over three years now, and each project has been a delight. Regardless of the work required — highly technical line art to human-figure drawings — the work is always impeccable, on time, and on budget.

Jan Johnston-Tyler
Owner, EvoLibri Consulting

It’s been my pleasure to use Faith’s services for six years. Her work is incredible: detailed, nuanced, and accurate.  She is also a joy to work with. She not only meets her deadlines (often with very little lead time!), she often exceeds them—and all while maintaining the highest level of courtesy and professionalism.

Robin Marvin
Independent Technical Writer
Former Publications Writer 2Wire Inc.


Faith Bradford has a technical background that allows her to understand our products. She can be relied upon to work independently, with a consummate degree of professionalism. She’s able to resolve issues through research, to interpret difficult subject matter and translate that into exceptional illustrations, and she is always pleasant when asked to make revisions or adjustments. Faith is someone we count on to complete projects with consistently high quality and always on schedule.

I have worked with Faith for over 15 years and have experienced nothing but the utmost professionalism from her. I look forward to every project I can work on with her. She is a joy to work with.

Faith is able to juggle multiple projects with ease. She always does her best to accommodate my projects even when her plate is full.

I have always appreciated Faith’s attention to details— those to include and those to leave out of her illustrations. She knows how to take a complicated concept and present it in the most simple way.

Faith’s artwork speaks for itself. Her illustrations reflect her attention to detail and her ability to grasp and communicate new and often complicated concepts.

I have always appreciated Faith’s easy-going nature. The publications field can be challenging with unreasonable schedules. Faith understands how to work with timelines. She stays focused, yet remains calm during those tight schedules.

I have been working with Faith since 1988.  I find her work to be of the highest quality.  She has produced some of the best illustrations I have seen.  Faith is always professional, technical, and creative in her approaches.  She has never missed a deadline or milestone that I had to meet and is adaptive to any emergency situation.  I have always been impressed with the way she takes the time to understand the job, asks the questions and then delivers excellent work.  Faith is a pleasure to work with and a valuable resource.

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!

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!

Faith is an exceptional illustrator and consummate perfectionist. I can always count on Faith\'s judgment and professionalism, in addition to her remarkable creative talent.

Anthony Hall
Sr. Manager, Creative Services
2Wire, Inc.


What a pleasure it is to collaborate with Faith! I worked as a contract writer with Faith as the contract designer/illustrator on the same projects at Ridge (later Crag Technologies and then Connex). Faith does beautiful work, and I rarely needed to request any changes. She knows how to emphasize the instructional content in an illustration so that less text is needed to support it. Her work is professional and user-focused. I learned a lot working with Faith and hope to have the chance to work with her again in the future."

Virginia (Ginny) Gelczis

As a technical writer, I have worked closely with Faith Bradford at two different companies. To say Faith is reliable is an understatement because she often bestows pleasant surprises by completing work before the deadline. When I first started working with her, she was already a seasoned pro, while I was still new to the field and somewhat "green." She patiently taught me how to describe new art and changes to existing art. When I was occasionally at a loss as to how to communicate a technical concept graphically, Faith was always willing and able to make creative suggestions. When my professional path eventually veered from working with Faith, I often missed her because of her immense skill, her talent for communication, and her sincere warmth. I would highly recommend Faith for any illustrating job.

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.
