Illustration Collection is a repository to collect the source files of various illustrations in my previous publications. Visit the website at cbhua.github.io/illustration-collection to explore further.

Introduction

I have a passion for creating visually appealing illustrations in publications. During my time writing papers, I often dedicated significant effort to craft various illustrations. In this repository, I've compiled some of my previous illustration source files created by OmniGraffle or Adobe Photoshop. I hope these templates inspire you and provide techniques to craft beautiful illustrations.

Softwares

Many of the illustrations were crafted using OmniGraffle, my preferred tool for creating publication illustrations. In addition to this, some were produced using Adobe Photoshop. Note that several illustrations incorporate LaTeX equations. Therefore, it's advisable to have LaTeX installed on your Mac. I also highly recommend the LaTeXiT tool], which is natively supported by macOS. This tool allows for the convenient creation of elegant mathematical equations within illustrations.
