Is the process of making an illustration complicated?
Not for my customer! I organize the work in the most easy and flexible way for you. If you prefer to keep the manuscript confidential – no problem, you can provide me with as much information as you want. If some details are unclear, I will simply ask you to explain.
How many corrections can I ask you to make?
There is absolutely no limit for the number of correction that you can ask for. We make as many changes as necessary to reach the best result.
What if I am not satisfied with the final result despite all the corrections?
