Illustration Design Brief
Business author in need of illustrations for a business book. Establish an illustration style based on rough sketch provided for a book called, "Activate Your Agile Career." If this sample works well, there are 15 more illustrations needed. Process: 1) Use sketch provided as a basis for stylizing an illustration that is: polished, potentially whimsical, simple, appropriate for a serious career topic, black & white line art only. No thick markers like those use in graphic recordings, rather something using a micron or thin black sharpie marker 2) Follow concept / sketch closely. I am not looking for broad interpretations of concept, rather a refinement of the rough sketch. 3) Want to own final illustration - Will consider sharing a headline on the book (published in March 2017) if illustrator is chosen for the complete set of illustrations. 4) Require hand lettering as that is part of the illustration
Updates
I am looking for hand-drawn illustration, rather than computer-generated images.
Hand-lettering is important. Simple hand-lettering.
