About our illustrations: For our cover, artist Daisy Juarez
created the computer-generated illustration to complement Don Sevener" s article about jobs. We also want to draw attention to other artists who contributed to the inside pages of this issue. Stan Adams, who sketched author Garry Wills for us (page 31), teaches graphic design and illustration at Illinois Central College, East Peoria. Olin Harris contributed two sketches of river life for our Innovations section (page 4). Harris is a staff artist for Outdoor Illinois and teaches publication design at Sangamon State University, Springfield. The year-in-review poem on the back cover was done by free-lance cartoonist Mike Cramer of Chicago.
