FAQs

Create a clear project brief. Include details about your brand and the project goals. Specify the size, style, and format of the illustrations you need. Mention any deadlines or key milestones. A detailed brief helps illustrators understand what you need.
Look at different illustration styles online or in design books. Find one that matches your brand's feel. Consider whether you need something bold, soft, realistic, or abstract. Think about what your audience would like too. Knowing your style helps find the right match.
Break the project into smaller tasks that build up to the final work. Set dates for each task to be done. This helps you and the illustrator see how things are going. Checking in at each milestone makes sure everything stays on track. Everyone knows what to expect and when.
Different formats work for different uses. AI and EPS files are great for print in North Carolina. PNGs are good for the web. Make sure you know where you will use the illustrations. Talk with the illustrator about the best formats for your needs. This ensures you get files that work everywhere you need them.
Share your brand's story, values, and mission with the illustrator. Give them examples of past work and any brand guidelines. The more they know about your brand, the better they can match its voice. Send them mood boards or color palettes that fit with your brand. Together, you'll create illustrations that speak your brand's language.
In the kickoff meeting, talk about the project goals and deadlines. Discuss the process and expectations. Make sure you both agree on communication methods and schedules. This meeting sets the tone for the project. It's a great time to ask any last questions and get everyone excited.
Think about when you need the final illustrations. Work backward from there. Consider how long each step might take and add extra time for unexpected things. Talk with the illustrator about their availability too. A good timeline helps everyone stay organized and stress-free.
Clarify what rights you need, like full ownership or just usage rights. Make sure to talk about what happens if you want to change or share the illustrations. Each project might have different needs. Discuss these before starting to avoid future confusion. It's important to be on the same page about rights.
If your project involves confidential information, an NDA can help. It keeps your secrets safe when working with the illustrator. Discuss the idea and see if it fits your project needs. Each project is different, so decide based on what's important to you. An NDA can add a layer of protection.
Be clear and specific with your feedback. Tell them what you like and what needs change. Use examples to show your points. Direct feedback helps them understand your vision better. It also makes the process smooth and less frustrating for both sides.
