AD Mark Mavilia for the American Association of Medical Colleges called with a challenging project: They had a series of textbooks which needed updating and wanted to create an illustrated series for the first textbook. The first textbook covered skills which are needed to be a successful department chair. Art was to be used to open each chapter and supplemental illustrations were also needed. This was the first time the AAMC had used illustration and they turned out be a dream client. Mark and I had worked together for many years at his earlier job so this made the process easier AAMC’s first illustrated textbook. First time clients can be nervous through development but they turned out to be a dream client. After publication Mark let me know the textbook was the fastest selling textbook in ten years and AAMC would love to create more books for the series. It’s good to see the power of illustration working in the real world.
