Editing

Our editorial team worked with the series publisher to provide mathematics expertise that included:

Illustration

Nikki M Group created 1448 mathematics illustrations for the series. This included creating new illustrations and restyling artwork.

At the start of the project, we prepared a style guide and illustration examples for approval. This helped to ensure consistency and for sizing illustrations appropriately to suit the layout design.
