Illustration Task Force



Engine Moving Parts, 2004, Blender, GNU | Author: User:Wapcaplet



Back in 2003 a user created a Wikiproject with the simple and laughable purpose of enhancing the presence of various forms of visual illustration on Misplaced Pages. Some people thought the wikiproject was unimportant except some few wikipedians interested whom made contact for the last time in the discussion page. It was User:Moonriddengirl who in April 2009 merged the project and a dumb kid who got lost looking for wikiprojects related to illustration.

Given the fast growth of Misplaced Pages and as encouraged by the project I am including this page with the purpose of coordinating the presence and contributions of users interested in illustrating articles that deserve to be illustrated.

As a part of the Wikiproject Images and Media, this task force will have to abide to the current guidelines of the parent project.

Although Misplaced Pages already has a an Illustration workshop located at the graphic lab the goal of this page is to make a contributor driven task force that under the current guidelines of Misplaced Pages can serve as a support area for users interested in contributing with illustration to articles they are interested in working on. Because of the nature of illustration (time consuming labor) it is important to maintain a sense of flexible participation.

About contributions

It is important for Users that want to contribute with illustrations to be aware of the following:

  • Misplaced Pages has a policy on illustration that basically encourages users to contribute as long as their illustrations do not include Original Research.
  • Illustrations must have an encyclopedic nature. Therefore the concept of illustration in an article is used as it was meant to be and that is to enlighten readers by making concepts graphically more clear.
  • Graphic contributions must not violate the current copyright and fair use guidelines. If your contribution infringes copyright it will likely be deleted.
  • Most but not all graphic contributions can be added through Wikimedia Commons. At the present time Wikimedia Commons do not allow fair use contributions so they have to be added in every specific Misplaced Pages.

A user interested in contributing with an illustration ideally should want to make his/her contribution available to the sister projects. So the best way to do so is by uploading their contributions via Wikimedia Commons. By uploading material in this project it becomes available to the Wikipedias in other languages.

Misplaced Pages encourages the use of Scalable Vector Graphics for the depiction of diagramas and illustration. The goal of this page is in particular to address the community of users with some level of knowledge of this kind of Vector graphics.

I am interested in working with articles related to Latin America. I am also interested in adding illustrations to articles where an illustration would really help to clarify the idea. I work with SVG by using inkscape and Adobe Illustrator.

2D illustrations of abstract concepts mostly, vector or bitmap

Aldrinv

illustrations by pen and ink, oil pastel and acrylic painting, graphics through Adobe Photoshop and photography.

Can illustrate with colored pencil, oils on canvas (sometimes still the best way) and in recent years have learned a great deal of 3D vector art, Photography.

Mr A

An amateur palaeo-artist working to illustrate as many of the prehistoric animal articles as possible.

It is fun to make computer generated graphics, especially procedure generated illustrations. If something is too tedious to do by hand, I can do it in Mathematica or write a small program.

Daniel C. Boyer

I'm open to requests for illustrations

Drva1226

Can do just about anything ok.

Emoscopes

2D vector illustration, schematics and illustration. Particular interest in mechanical things, military and aviation.

Fastfission

happy to do work on vector based 2-D illustrations, I'm also especially happy with re-doing pixellated, MS Word-Draw style illustrations in Illustrator.

Fir0002

Skilled in Photoshop. Cloning, warping, brightening, sharpening, you name it I can do it

helix84

if you have a (copyrighted) rastered illustration, I'll make a free .svg from it in Inkscape.
