What is the experience of the illustrator in handling projects similar to ours?
You want to know if the freelance illustrator has worked on projects that are like yours. Check if they have done similar projects in the past and if they have the skills you need. This helps you find someone who knows what you want and can do a great job.
Can the illustrator provide a draft or concept sketch before starting on the final illustrations?
A draft or concept sketch helps you see what the illustrator has in mind for your project. It’s like a rough drawing that shows you how the final work might look. This way, you can suggest changes before they start on the detailed illustrations.
How does the illustrator prefer to keep in touch, and how often will they update us on progress?
Staying in touch with the illustrator is important. Ask them how they prefer to communicate – email, calls, or online messages. Also, discuss how often they will update you so you’re always aware of how the project is going.
What is the estimated timeline for completing the illustrations?
Knowing when the illustrations will be ready is key. Ask your illustrator about how long it will take them to finish the job. This ensures you can plan your project timeline and adjust if needed.
Can the illustrator incorporate specific themes or elements unique to Lombardy in the illustrations?
If your project needs elements from Lombardy, discuss this with the illustrator. Ask if they can include local landmarks, culture, or history in their work. This adds a special touch to your project and connects it to the region.
Do they have a portfolio of work that includes themes from Lombardy?
Look at the illustrator's portfolio to see if they’ve worked on projects featuring Lombardy. This helps you understand if they can create illustrations that reflect the region’s unique style and heritage. A portfolio shows you what the illustrator can do and helps you decide if they’re the right fit.
What file formats will the final illustrations be delivered in, and are they compatible with our needs?
Check with the illustrator about the file formats you will receive. Make sure they work with your project’s needs, whether it’s for print or digital. This ensures you can use the illustrations easily when they’re done.
Are revisions included if the initial illustrations don't match our expectations?
It’s important to know if the illustrator will make changes if needed. Ask how many revisions are allowed and how they handle them. This ensures you’re happy with the final artwork and that it meets your expectations.
How does the illustrator ensure that Lombardy’s cultural aspects are respectfully represented in their work?
