1. Tell me what you want your new illustration to do for you and how it will be used.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .

2. Show me any previous illustrations (yours or someone else’s) and tell me what you liked and didn’t like about them.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .

3. We’ll agree to assignment parameters, timeline, and a budget.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .

4. I present several design options for you to choose from.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .

5. You approve one of the design options or ask to see more – ultimately approving one of the options.

6. I buy and devour a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia Frozen Yogurt and take a bath for inspiration.

7. I create and deliver the most amazing illustration you’ve ever seen.

You have a strategy and a specific need. I apply my brain. And my heart. When the two merge in organic harmony, that’s the magic of illustration.


Answers to Your Questions...

Why Kalisher Design?
Get big-time experience at a small-time price. That’s the short of it. I have been creating illustrations since I earned my degree in illustration from the Chelsea School of Art and Design in London in 1992. Since then, I have created illustrations for a wide range of clients from the BBC and children’s magazines to Apple Computer.

Technical Mumbo Jumbo
I work in a range of classic and new age mediums – from pastels to digital photography, from oils to computer rendered images. I do love it all.

Sure You Sound Clever, But Can You Meet A Deadline?
This is business. It should be fun. But it is business. And you have deadlines. And my job is to meet them. I have never missed a deadline yet. And I don’t intend to start. If you have the time and interest, you can call several of my clients and ask them how well I met their expectations not to mention their deadlines.

Is This Expensive?
Not at all. You'll find that I charge very comptetive rates for my services - rates that are a fraction of the hourly rate I was billed out at when I last worked for a large ad agency.
