How do I know if the illustrator's style fits my project?
Start by looking at the illustrator's portfolio. It's like a photo album of their best work. Check if their drawings match what you imagine for your project. This will help you see if their art style fits your needs.
What should I include in my project brief?
A good project brief is like a map. It should include details like the theme, color preferences, and the message you want to send. This helps the illustrator know exactly what you want, making the project run smoothly.
