Frequently asked questions
Illustration is visual imagery that is best known for interpreting, depicting, explaining, and/or decorating the words in books, newspapers, and online media.
There are several reasons why now might be the time to hire a freelance illustrator. This includes:
Time — Illustrators are experts at visualising how to use your product or how your service works. They can do this very quickly and effectively, especially if you're in a rush to get your illustrations.
Skills/knowledge — Working directly with an illustrator gives you a collaborative experience where you hold a wealth of opportunity for input and ultimately influence the outcome of the deliverables. You’ll work together to come up with the best solution based on your business needs.
Ideas — For whatever reason, the lightbulb moments have dried up, and you need an injection of creativity from someone with a fresh perspective. Illustration can make it easier for visitors to understand what your company is about. They can help visualise complex ideas and make products more friendly and approachable than described in a block of text.
