FAQs

What kind of illustrations do I need for my project?

Before hiring, think about the style and type of illustrations you need. Do you want something colorful and playful or more detailed and realistic? Knowing this helps you find an illustrator who matches your vision. It ensures the final artwork fits your project perfectly.

How can I clearly describe the project to the illustrator?

Write down what you want the final illustration to look like. Include colors, themes, and any important details. This helps the illustrator understand your needs. Clear descriptions lead to illustrations that meet your expectations.

What should be included in the illustrator's contract?

A good contract includes deadlines, number of revisions, and delivery format. It should also outline the rights you will have to the artwork. Having this in writing ensures everyone agrees on what's expected.

How do I decide on the project's deadlines?

Think about when you need the final illustrations. Allow some extra time for revisions and feedback. This helps in setting realistic deadlines that the illustrator can meet without rushing.

What file formats should I request for the illustrations?

Consider how you will use the illustrations—online, print, or both. Common formats are JPEG, PNG, and TIFF. You might also need vector files like AI or EPS for scalability.

How do I set a revision policy with the illustrator?

Decide how many times you may request changes to the artwork. Communicate clearly what revisions might be needed. Having this policy ensures both you and the illustrator know what to expect during the project.

How do I ensure good communication throughout the project?

Set up regular check-ins with the illustrator. Decide on the best way to communicate: email, calls, or chat. Open and regular communication helps the project run smoothly and keeps everyone updated.

How can I properly review an illustrator's portfolio?

Look for similar projects in the illustrator's past work. Check for style, creativity, and quality. A strong portfolio gives you confidence in the illustrator's ability to meet your project's needs.

What should I do before the project's feedback stages?

Prepare detailed feedback on the draft illustrations. Be specific about what you like and what needs adjustments. Constructive feedback helps the illustrator make the necessary changes efficiently.

How do I determine the ownership rights of the illustrations?

Decide if you want full or shared rights to the artwork. Discuss this with the illustrator before starting. Knowing your usage rights ensures you can use the illustrations as planned.
