Creating Visuals by Scott Dillon

You don’t need to be a skilled artist to produce graphics for your professional writing. Creating visuals is very simple and fun for anyone! You can simply do it on the computer using Paint, MS Word, Photoshop or any other various imaging software. Another way is the old fashion way of pencil and paper.

Visual images can enhance or replace what one says in writing. This allows for less repetition and compactly than text does.

Making the Visuals

Designing visuals is very simple, quick and easy with the software that is out today. Each program has unique features it offers its users.

Some of the Features:

  • Stretch, shrink, push, twist, and distort
  • Healing Brush - erasing wrinkles, minor skin defects, remove blemishes, scratches, and other small flaws
  • Allow you to vary hue, opacity, and flow for brushes as well as jitter, color, and shape


    * Using Photoshop I designed this Image for my Clan aÐk for Call of Duty. Taking advantage of all Photoshop has to offer from fading, burning and rendering to create this logo.


Simplest Program - MS Paint


Paint is a very straightforward program that offers may features to its users. It allows for one to create multiple shapes and lines. You can also develop images with paint brush, pencil, and airbrush. You can also Paste an image in to paint to Edit or Customize.

  2. I really enjoy your professional writing services as well, Scott. I had no idea how to create any of those graphics, as you can probably tell from my logo for the team logo project. Good tips and well written and presented, well done Scott. Thanks and I am looking forward to next week.

  3. Graphical design is a skill every writer should possess. Even if that skill level is minimum. I found MS pant to be a great, affordable tool, and I recommend trying it before spending $100s on a program.
