Based on the brief, a moodboard is presented. Something for me to base my illustrations on. Even though I have a certain style, I can adjust my approach depending on the purpose of the illustration. Is it an informative illustration used as a complement to certain information, or is it part of a more open context? I make sure that the client and I are on the same page regarding the direction and use of the illustration. We also establish where the illustrations will be featured, and what formats are required. Will it be printed or featured digitally? It's important to establish the size and ratio of the area where the illustrations will appear, since it determines the composition of the illustration. Other parameters such as target audience are also determined.
