I am a student of Technical Translation and Technical Documentation.

At the moment I am working on a research paper (Diplomarbeit) on the subject visuals and illustrations in international technical documents. My job is to investigate how different peoples all over the world (Africa, Asia, South America) perceive visual information. Africans, for example, are said to have problems to perceive perspective in illustations... .

- Does anyone know books or research papers I should read?
- Are there any specifications for visuals/illustrations in technical documents in the United States.
- I am also interested in conventions for visuals/illustrations in electrical and mechanical engineering (for example conventions for technical drawings concerning front, side view and view from above or conventions for exploded diagrams)
- If anyone knows some general examples to this problem, tell me!!!! ( but I also need proofs to support my arguments).

Thanks in advance for your help.
