Custom illustrations are more than just visuals, they’re a powerful way to express your brand’s unique personality. At Design Shifu, our custom illustration service helps businesses stand out with artwork that’s tailor-made to captivate, communicate, and convert.

Graphic Design is not just the visual appearance of your brand over social media platforms, ad spaces, your website, etc. It has the power to present your brand personality and your value to your prospects, which is why it always has to be on point.

In a competitive marketplace, brands are heavily dependent on presenting themselves right to their targeted audience. But in a visually saturated marketplace, how can your brand stand out?

By using Custom Illustrations.

Introducing Custom Illustrations

Design Shifu has launched a subscription plan named Monthly Unlimited PLUS which offers custom illustration as one of the design services to help you take your branding game to the next level. With these Illustrations you can put out content that is not only eye-catching and creative but also unique to your brand.

Having your own custom illustrations allows your brand to have an edge in a highly visually saturated market, as the illustrations you would like to put out aren't readily available on any vector stock websites.

What are Custom Illustrations? 

Custom Illustrations are a great way to communicate your brand personality to your audience. They can set the tone of your brand, making your brand identity more apparent in the marketplace.

These illustrations are vivid visual presentations of ideas, tones, brand personality, and mainly specific messaging. They can be used online, on social networking platforms, or can be used for materials such as magazines, books, or even on merch, etc.

Types of Custom Illustrations

There is a lot more with which you can incorporate custom illustrations. Here are some options 

  • Brand Mascot
  • Custom Merch Illustrations
  • Custom Brand Illustrations
  • Storybook Illustrations
  • Custom Line Art
  • Product Illustrations, etc

How Design Shifu can help you get Custom Illustrations

Go one step ahead from graphic design and have the creative and unique elements of your brand composed from scratch with Custom Illustrations. Our creative team of seasoned designers are well-equipped to craft your illustrations just the way you envision them.

What is our scope of work?

Portraits

An illustrated version of a face or a front profile is much more interesting than a simple photo. You can animate the person the way you want to, even give them a few accentuated features or customize them into the kind of superhero they’d want to be. The scope is endless.
