FAQs

Begin by listing all the elements you need in your project. Think about sizes, colors, and styles you like. Be sure to include any important deadlines. This helps the illustrator understand exactly what you need from them.
Your brief should have a clear description of the artwork needed. Include details about your target audience and any specific imagery you want. Share examples of styles or elements from other artworks you admire. This will guide the illustrator to match your vision.
Agree on deadlines before work starts. This sets clear expectations for both you and the illustrator. Make sure the timeline includes time for drafts and revisions. Clear timelines help the project move smoothly.
Discussing revisions early helps prevent misunderstandings. Know how many changes are allowed without extra charges. This ensures that both you and the illustrator have agreed on what's expected for perfect results.
Share details like colors, fonts, and mood of your brand. This helps the illustrator create artwork that fits your brand style. It’s important for everything they make to work well with what you already have.
Look for an illustrator who understands the local culture. They should know about North Carolina's symbols and unique aspects if it’s relevant. This ensures the artwork will resonate well with local audiences.
Think about where your illustrations will be used, like websites or print materials. The format should match the end use, such as PNGs or high-resolution PDFs. This way, the illustrator can deliver files that are ready to use.
A written agreement outlines what is expected from both you and the illustrator. Include project scope, timelines, and ownership rights. This document protects both parties and helps avoid confusion later.
Seek out illustrators who have worked with local galleries or events in Raleigh. Their experience will help them capture local styles and themes. This can be important for projects aimed at this community.
Check their portfolio for projects like yours. Similar past work hints that they have the skills you're looking for. This gives you confidence that they can deliver what you need.
