About this Service
Original illustrated graphic created for one T-shirt, hoodie or apparel placement.
I create bold apparel artwork with strong composition, expressive linework, vintage poster energy, pop culture influence, character-driven visuals and a handcrafted graphic style. The objective is to produce one memorable standalone graphic suitable for clothing, streetwear or merchandise.
The artwork may be created in black and white or full color, according to the approved brief. This service covers the creation of one graphic only and does not include garment production or adaptations for multiple products.
THIS SERVICE INCLUDES:
one finished custom apparel graphic
one primary illustrated subject or one cohesive central composition
one focused visual concept developed from the approved brief
one placement only: front or back
one preliminary composition sketch for approval
one consolidated round of revisions at the sketch stage
production of the final detailed artwork
one approved black-and-white or full-color treatment
one consolidated round of minor refinements to the final artwork
one editable vector master file supplied in one agreed format: CDR, AI or EPS
one print-ready vector PDF
one high-resolution transparent PNG
one JPG preview
one flattened garment mockup for presentation
The subject and level of complexity must be reviewed before work begins. Requests involving multiple characters, complex scenes, extensive lettering or a level of detail substantially exceeding the portfolio examples may require a separate proposal.
CLIENT BRIEF REQUIRED:
Before work begins, the client must provide:
the intended garment type
the required placement: front or back
the intended print dimensions and orientation
the garment color
the intended use of the artwork
the target audience
the theme, message and subject of the graphic
all mandatory characters, objects, symbols or visual elements
anything that must not appear in the artwork
the exact wording to be included, fully checked and approved by the client
the preferred black-and-white or full-color treatment
any required or prohibited colors
the intended printing method, when known
relevant visual references or brand guidelines
all client-supplied logos or graphic assets
the requested delivery date, subject to confirmation
The client is responsible for the accuracy of all supplied wording, names, dates and information.
Work begins only once the brief, scope, reference material and required assets have been reviewed and confirmed in writing. The two-week production schedule begins from that point.
CONCEPT AND APPROVAL:
This service includes one focused visual concept, one composition and one preliminary sketch only.
It does not include several alternative concepts, speculative directions or multiple sketches from which to choose.
The preliminary composition must be approved before final production begins. Once approved, the concept, subject, composition, garment placement, wording and overall visual direction are considered locked.
The approved color treatment may be either black and white or full color. Only one final palette or color treatment is included.
PROJECT MILESTONES:
The kickoff milestone covers review of the brief and references, development of the concept and delivery of the preliminary composition sketch.
The final-delivery milestone covers production and delivery of the approved final apparel graphic and included files.
REVISIONS:
The first included revision round takes place at the preliminary sketch stage. It covers reasonable adjustments to:
composition
placement of the main illustrated elements
proportions
positioning of the approved wording
details already included in the original brief
The second included revision round takes place after production of the final artwork. It covers minor adjustments to:
details
linework
colors
contrast
balance
cropping
Revisions do not include:
a new concept or creative direction
a different composition
changing the primary subject
adding characters, objects or major elements that were not included in the approved brief
changing the garment placement
replacing or substantially rewriting the approved text
changing from black and white to full color, or from full color to black and white, after approval
creating an alternative colorway
creating a second graphic or additional garment placement
changing the artistic style
requesting a complete or substantial redraw
Any such request will be treated as additional work and quoted separately.
All feedback must be consolidated into one clear message by one designated decision-maker. Delayed feedback or changes to the original brief may affect the delivery date.
FINAL FILES:
The completed artwork will be supplied as one editable vector master file in the format agreed before work begins, together with a print-ready vector PDF, a high-resolution transparent PNG and a JPG preview.
The print-ready PDF will be supplied at the agreed dimensions and in the appropriate CMYK or agreed color mode. Printer-specific color separations and technical production adjustments are not included.
One flattened garment mockup is included for presentation purposes only. The editable mockup file is not included.
This service includes one final graphic, one placement and one approved color treatment only. Alternative colorways, additional placements, garment adaptations or production variations require a separate proposal.
Unused concepts, preliminary sketches, working files, alternative versions and additional mockups are not included in the final deliverables.
