04 / BEFORE WE BEGIN

MAKE YOUR
BRIEF COUNT.

You don't need a perfect specification. A few useful details will make the first conversation much more productive.

PREPARE A PROJECT

WHAT HELPS US
GET STARTED.

01 / THE GOAL

What are we making?

One illustration, a comic cover, a trailer, a character sheet or a larger series?

02 / THE AUDIENCE

Who is it for?

Your readers, players, customers, subscribers or collaborators?

03 / THE LOOK

Style and reference images

Provide links to material you own or can lawfully use, plus anything that must remain consistent.

04 / THE DELIVERY

Files and sizes

Print or digital, aspect ratio, resolution, file format, cutouts, layers, captions and accessibility needs.

05 / THE SCOPE

Budget and timing

Share the rough target date and budget range if known. These guide the scope discussion, not an automatic price.

06 / THE TERMS

Rights and revisions

Flag commercial use, intellectual-property restrictions, revision expectations and any confidential materials.
