About this service

Summary

I design custom mascots that bring brands to life, tailored to resonate with their audience and reflect their unique identity. My approach combines in-depth research, creativity, and attention to detail to create mascots that are not just visually appealing but also effective brand ambassadors.

Process

1. Discovery & Research
Understand the brand: Gather details about the company’s mission, values, and target audience.
Define goals: Clarify the mascot’s purpose and desired impact.
Competitive analysis: Research mascots from similar industries for inspiration and differentiation.
2. Ideation & Concept Development
Brainstorm ideas: Create mood boards with style, personality, and design elements.
Sketch concepts: Develop rough sketches exploring different character designs and poses.
Client feedback: Present concepts to the client for initial input and approval.
3. Refinement
Develop detailed illustrations: Refine the selected concept into a polished design.
Explore variations: Create different expressions, poses, or accessory options as needed.
Define the color palette: Finalize colors to align with the brand identity.
4. Final Design
Create the final mascot: Produce high-resolution illustrations of the mascot in its standard pose.
Additional poses: Design supplementary poses or variations as requested.
Branding integration: Incorporate the mascot into brand assets, such as logos or templates.
5. File Delivery
Export in multiple formats: Provide vector files (AI, SVG) and raster files (PNG, JPG).
Ensure usability: Deliver versions for transparent and solid backgrounds.
Animation-ready files (if applicable): Provide layered files for future animation needs.
6. Application & Guidelines
Usage guidelines: Provide a document explaining how to use the mascot effectively.
Mockups: Showcase the mascot on branding materials (e.g., merchandise, banners).
Post-project support: Offer minor adjustments or additional poses if needed.
