What file formats do you need the final illustrations in?
Think about where you will use the illustrations. Do you need them for print, the web, or something else? Different uses might need different types of files. Knowing this as you start will make sure nothing is missing when the time comes to use the art.
Will you need ongoing support after the project is completed?
Consider if you will need help with the illustrations later. Maybe you'll need updates or more images in the future. Thinking about this now will help you plan ahead and decide if you want to work with the same illustrator again. It's like knowing if you need a phone friend for future adventures!
Do you have the project assets and inspiration ready?

Is there a specific element unique to England you want in your illustrations?

Let the illustrator know if there are specific elements unique to England that should be included. This can make your project feel special and connected to a particular place!
Have you considered local cultural nuances in your project?

What style of illustration do you need for your project?

Look at portfolios to see which style makes your project come alive. This will help make everything great from the start!
How can you clearly define your project scope?
