Skype was a great resource throughout this contract and allowed both face to face communication and real time mutual adjustments to the art, taking out all kinds of guess work & ensuring client satisfaction.
We worked from all kinds of ideas and sketches, mixing, matching, and tweaking concepts in staged revisions. The client had asked to incorporate the wheel, the banner, the ship, the crane, the crown and the Newfoundland flag all in this one image. That’s a lot of stuff but with methodical staging experiments I got a strong design plan.
I started with analogue drafting tools developing the line and ink work, then redrawing the lines in a vector based program to work the rest of the piece in a digital environment. Finally the client decided on a colour image & the shirts are being printed as I write this-I’ll be sure to include a photo when I get mine in the mail!
How did the client feel about the job?
“Ian was a pleasure to work with. He came well recommended by a trusted source and he didn’t disappoint. He was very creative, offered lots of options and was open to suggestions. We will use his services in the future for sure”
