THE CREATIVE PROCESS

DTM's creative process starts with rough scribbles, composition sketches then finally Adobe Illustrator. This process is pefect for character concept, graphic design, logos and visual development. 

​All art is custom designed on the spot. No clip-art, no outsourcing. All hand drawn by: DTM.

Sketching


​The creative process begins with a series of rough sketches to see the ideas on paper or screen with direction from the client, some ideas are in words, some ideas are in reference images. 

Study


​The sketches then start to show details and elements that the client requires. 
 
We sketch enough to establish the size, dimensions and proportions of the design.

Layout


​The sketches now focus on composition of the elements including the main art, typography, text requirements and overall layout. 

Vector Outline


​The design in Adobe Illustrator begins and follows the design composition, drawn digitally in a vector is a file format allows for  options in printing sizes while retaining the best possible clarity and sharpness. 

Vector Details


File proofs of the artwork are double checked for dimensions, file requirements, colors, brand guidelines and overall composition by checking the image file and sometimes printing it out in real life. 

Final Design


Client approved artwork makes it way to production and manufacturing and in some cases reproduction on print and web.

Remember: for the best results, hire a professional. My greatest joy is to see my art in the world.
