Who can help me develop graphics for an electrical engineering book and how much would it cost?
I'm working on a book of calculations, measurements, rules, etc., for electrical engineers that I'd like to publish. I need help with creating the images for this book. More specifically, I need images for different electrical wiring systems, conduits, conductor sizings, etc. These may or may not be available online. I am aware of sites such as istockphoto.com, corbis.com, sxc.hu, but they don't offer everything I need.
Would the best solution be for me to draw it out on paper and have a freelancer pretty it up? Is there a site that offers eletrical engineering graphics that I may use? Are there any software applications that I may use (not talking Photoshop, but engineering related apps) to generate these images myself?
Thanks.
Autosketch is a drawing program with a library that includes electrical schematic symbols. The list price appears to be $150, but it should be available for less. There also other drawing programs that offer vector graphics rather than pixel drawing or painting. I have published material that include illustrations that I did with Autosketch.
You may be able to find a freelancer that can pretty up pencil sketches. If you can find a person with some understanding of the material, it may be easier to explain what you want.
