FAQs

How do I know if a digital illustrator's style matches my project needs?

Take a look at their portfolio. It should have examples of past work. See if their style fits what you picture for your project. Ask them if they can adjust their style if needed. Talk about what you like in existing illustrations.

What should I include in a project brief for a digital illustrator?

A good brief tells about your project and what you want. Share details about your audience and how you want them to feel. Include colors, styles, or examples you like. The more details you give, the easier it is for the illustrator to make what you imagine.

How can I make sure the illustrator understands my vision before starting?

Have a clear discussion. Use sketches or mood boards to show your ideas. Ask the illustrator to give you a rough sketch before they start the final artwork. It helps both of you know if you're on the same page.

How do I set realistic deadlines for a digital illustrator?

Talk to the illustrator about how long they need. Ask for a timeline of steps, like sketches and drafts. Allow some extra time for changes and feedback. This way, you'll have a clear path from start to finish.

What kind of feedback should I give to a digital illustrator?

Feedback should be clear and helpful. Tell them what you like and what you want to change. Use words that describe feelings and emotions. It's better to be specific, like saying 'make this part brighter,' than just saying 'I don’t like this.'

How do I decide on the deliverables for a digital illustration project?

Think about what you need at the end of the project. This could be files in specific formats like JPEG or PNG. Discuss the size and resolution you need. Make sure the illustrator knows about any special requirements.

How can I ensure a digital illustrator stays motivated throughout the project?

Keep communication open and positive. Celebrate progress on every step. Let them know their work is important to your project. Sometimes a little encouragement can keep the creativity flowing.

What should I do if I want changes to the final illustration?

First, ensure your contract mentions revision rounds. Share your thoughts clearly and kindly. Illustrators expect some changes, so don’t worry. Work together to tweak and adjust until it’s just right.

How to assess if a digital illustrator met the agreed deliverables?

Check if all the file formats and sizes you discussed are there. Look at the final product to see if it matches what you imagined. Compare it with the drafts to see if the changes you asked for were made. This ensures everything is as planned.
