“I reckon explanatory illustrations would be very useful in the education sector: eye-catching and engaging visual representations could help students to better understand and memorise complex phenomena. Also the business sector is getting closer to explanatory illustrations, even though too many times they still rely on old and out-of-date charts and diagrams, which make communication obsolete.”
