Product Illustrations

Illustration brings a unique perspective to your product or service. You can literally cut through the skin of an object to see the inner-workings, something you can’t achieve with traditional photography. The versatility of illustration means you can change colours, styles and viewpoints once the base drawing is already completed, which gives the drawing longevity and relevance over time.

Service Features

Unique Visualization of Internal Components

My illustrations can show the inner workings of a product, such as cutaway views, which go beyond what photography can achieve, offering an in-depth perspective on complex mechanisms.

Customizable and Adaptable Designs

Once the base illustration is complete, I can easily adjust colors, styles, and viewpoints, making the illustrations versatile and ensuring they remain relevant for different uses over time.

Clarity for Complex Products

I specialize in making complex products easier to understand by illustrating how different components interact, providing a clear visual representation that simplifies technical details.

Enhanced Product Communication

By highlighting key features and functions, my product illustrations help businesses effectively communicate their value to customers, investors, and stakeholders.

Cost-Effective Over Time

The adaptability of illustrations allows for easy updates and modifications, reducing the need for repeated costly design work for new product versions or color changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do product illustrations differ from photographs?

Illustrations allow for greater flexibility, such as showcasing internal mechanisms or offering different angles and perspectives that photography can’t capture. They are ideal for demonstrating how a product works or how different components fit together.

Can I update the illustration for new product versions?

Absolutely. Once the base drawing is created, it can be easily modified to reflect updates, new colors, or design changes, making it a cost-effective long-term investment.

What kinds of products can you illustrate?

I specialize in illustrating a wide range of products, from consumer electronics to industrial equipment, highlighting intricate details and internal structures that are crucial for marketing, instructional materials, or patent submissions.

How long does it take to create a product illustration?

The timeline depends on the complexity of the product and the level of detail required, but I work efficiently and provide clear timelines after the initial consultation to ensure deadlines are met.

Can your illustrations help with marketing my product?

Yes, product illustrations are a powerful tool for marketing as they clearly communicate product features and functions, making them ideal for brochures, websites, and investor presentations.

FAQs

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me below.

Can you produce small one-off illustrations or do you only take on big projects?

I work with large and small businesses and am happy to quote on any sized project.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes. I require 30% deposit before commencement. Once the project is completed and approved by you I will send you a final invoice. The final illustrations will be watermarked, but once payment is received I will release the final files. If you become an ongoing regular client, a deposit won’t be required for every project.

How many changes can I request to the artwork?

When I quote on a project I stipulate how many changes are included in the quote. It is usually three sets of reasonable changes. I do understand though that sometimes projects can take a different direction and I am happy to revisit the original quote if this occurs.

Will I get an idea of what it will look like before you do the bulk of the work?

Yes. Depending on the size of the project I will provide you with either a small snapshot of the illustration and confirm you are happy before proceeding or show you an existing illustration that will be a similar style. I always ensure you are happy with the direction of the illustration before proceeding to protect my time and your money.

Do you use specialists?

Sometimes I need to bring in reinforcements who are specialists in certain illustration styles and techniques. However this is often only a part of the illustration project. Clients will always only work with me directly.

Can I buy your illustrations?

Yes, I produce Illustrations for the Adobe Stock Library, CLICK HERE to view my work for download.

Can you work with clients out of state or outside of Australia?

Absolutely. I work very efficiently with clients across Australia and internationally and have never found location to be a barrier. I do like to speak over the phone though and find this helps us to understand exactly what the client needs. If the project requires a face-to-face or site visit, this can be negotiated. However please note, I am English speaking only.

What forms of payment can you receive?

I can accept payments via direct bank deposit or PayPal. Details will be on the quote and invoice.
