I work with organisations to create artwork that elevates brands
Scroll down for a quick introduction to how I work with clients to create impactful visuals. Fill out this scoping questionnaire to get started or email info@sophiahotung.com with questions.
What to expect
High-quality deliverables tailored to your organisation’s needs
Flexibility and open-mindedness to feedback and requests
Clear and accurate information of services, costs, and timelines
How it works
While every commission is unique, I organise each project around this framework
1. INTRODUCTION
1-2 weeks for client review
After you fill out this scoping form, we'll gauge if my services fit your needs. I'll outline services, the quotation, a projected timeline, terms of service, and sample artwork.
2. Brief
30 to 60 minute call
On a call, we’ll scope the brief. This will involve exploring requirements and goals for the artwork’s content and style.
3. Agreement
1-2 weeks for review, signature, and payment
The agreement reflects the terms of the commission. After reviews, signatures, and receipt of the deposit, the project can begin.
4. Proposal
2 weeks to create proposal; 30-60 min call
The proposal outlines the confirmed brief and offers mock-ups and ideas for the final artwork. On a call, we’ll discuss your feedback, and come away with a clearer understanding of what the final artwork will look like.
5. Sketches
2-3 weeks to create sketches; 30-60 min call
The sketches offer rough outlines and notes for the final artworks. On a call, we’ll discuss feedback before painting begins.
6. Final Artwork
3-4 weeks to create artwork
The final artwork reflects all the feedback, conversations, and goals from previous calls. It will be delivered to you as specified in the brief.
7. Additional Feedback
Lead times vary depending on feedback
If the final artwork requires changes, further calls or emails can address additional edits.
