Client Requirements and Challenges - Creating Hand-Drawn Sketches and Illustrations

The client needed support to produce several hundred illustrations of dogs based on photos provided by pet owners. Flatworld Solutions (FWS) agreed to perform a limited free trial before the full project was finalized.

The project involved these primary challenges -

• Creating hundreds of hand-drawn illustrations in a short period of time.
• Sketches needed to satisfy the high expectations of each dog owner.

The Solution - By Flatworld Solutions

The Flatworld Solutions illustration specialists developed this solution -

• The team for the initial quality test included an account manager, an illustrator and a quality analyst.
• Prior to the project, the client provided a workflow process summary.
• For the free trial, 10 JPEG images were transferred to FWS via Dropbox. Using software that included Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, output was provided in PSD format and an Illustrator file. The trial was completed within 24 hours.
• Based on the successful quality test, the client signed a contract for creating 500 hand-drawn sketches.
• The team for the contract included an account manager, three illustrators and a quality analyst.
• The FWS team completed 10 images each day. The project was finished in about 45 days.
