Visual design and content go hand-in-hand. There’s no greater satisfaction than witnessing the beautiful design and illustrations. No matter how amazing your story is, it will appear boring if there are no pictures or designs present in it. Your book will greatly improve its overall look with vibrant colors, imaginative worlds, and wonderful illustrations. If you have a children’s book, then it becomes a must-have element for your book. Here are some of the reasons why you need an illustrator for your book:

• • It engages your readers no matter their age.
• • It complements and enhances your storytelling
• • It makes your work interesting
• • Provides a visual guideline to image the story in creative ways
• • Absolutely necessary if you are looking for ways to stand out in the competitive market.
• • It keeps your readers hooked and invested in your story.
• • Likewise, it leaves a lasting impression on your audience.

The very first step for finding an illustrator for your book is to understand your vision. You have to ask yourself what you want your book to look like. There are multiple types of illustrations that may complement your work, but there will always be the one that would be the best for your book. Therefore, we always advise our clients to have a clear understanding of their vision. Now, once you have decided what type of illustrations you require, decide your budget and how much you want to invest in your book. With the rise of freelance services platforms and services-oriented companies, you can find a skilled professional for your vision. This also means that you can find both cheap and expensive services in the market. However, you’ll have to decide what the final artwork you want your book to adorn with.
