HOW IT WORKS
SKETCHES & COLOR PALETTE
Once you have purchased your custom stationery service please provide your inspiration imagery and color palette preferences. I will begin creating preliminary mood boards with sketches to get acquainted with the imagery I will be painting.
You will receive a PDF with sketches & mock ups for your stationery designs within
1-2 weeks depending on the scope of work and current lead-times.
Upon receiving the sketches and mockups we will discuss any imagery changes or additions and color palettes adjustments. Once approved I will begin painting the stationery artwork.
*Please try to ensure that all of your imagery ideas and color palette preferences are communicated before the initial sketches are created. All service covers two rounds of edits per asset. Any additional edits will incur an additional fee of $65.
HAND-PAINTING AND DIGITIZATION
After approval of sketches, mock-ups and color palette I will begin painting the artwork with gouache and watercolor paint.
Following the completion of the paintings, I will scan the artwork at a high resolution and retouch each piece in Photoshop. This process ensures that all artwork is prepared for printing, free from imperfections, and accurately reflects its intended colors.
COPY AND FINAL DESIGN APPROVAL
During the process, I will carefully consider the text layout, ensuring a smooth integration of your event details into the designed compositions. You can choose between hand-written text or select from a variety of font pairings based on your preferences.
Ensure all necessary information for the stationery is provided at this stage to facilitate the optimal layout for our designs. Following this, you will receive a PDF containing each asset with the text layout for you to review and proof read before approval.
