HOW would this process look like?
Commissioning a visual literacy illustration begins with a client consultation to define the objectives and specific needs of the project. This involves understanding the intended message, audience, and context in which the illustration will be used. Once the direction is set, preliminary sketches or concepts are developed and shared with the client for feedback. Upon approval of a chosen concept, the illustrator delves into creating the detailed final artwork. The client is kept engaged throughout the process to ensure the illustration aligns with their vision and needs. Once completed, the final piece is delivered in the specified format, ready for its intended use. This collaborative process ensures that the illustration effectively communicates the desired message with clarity and visual appeal.
