Realistic Illustrations for Instruction Manual
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
I’m updating a “How to Prep Your Site for Concrete” instruction manual and need a set of clear, realistic illustrations to make each step unambiguous. The artwork will sit beside the text, highlighting the right way—and the wrong way—to perform key tasks such as ground compaction, form-work layout, rebar placement, and equipment operation.
Here’s what I’m after:
• A realistic style that feels technical yet approachable—think of what you’d see in a professional trade guide rather than a cartoon.
• Scenes that show people performing tasks, close-ups of equipment in use, and step-by-step sequences. Each scene needs a paired “correct / not correct” variant so readers instantly spot mistakes.
• Final files supplied as high-resolution vectors (AI or SVG) and flattened PNGs so I can drop them straight into the manual.
I’ll provide the written instructions and reference photos for every step. You’ll translate those into clean, consistent visuals, returning rough sketches for approval before moving to colour and line-work. The job wraps when each illustration integrates seamlessly into the page layouts and communicates the intended safety and quality standards at a glance.
The document is attached- i need some imagery to accompany the words for people who are more visual
