[Original Itasha] Quote from two sticker company. Color sticker vs cutting sticker
We decided to ask bonnet design (New design) to Kogetsu and side door design (Simple Modification to monochrome) to Ita-honpo, sticker company.
So, today, I will show the process how I communicate to Kogetsu for design change.
The request is
Design should be monochrome, not color
Character is Hanyu and Rika from "Higurashino Nakukoroni Kai"
Posing is like picture below
Change clothing to Japanese traditional one
It sounds simple request. But this time, I learned how difficult to coordinate client and illustrator.

The important thing fast design mentioned is confirm the illust during rought design. If I request the change after confirmation, illustrator would charge additional cost.
Fast design also recommend to ask "what can be changed, what can't be changed" at each step we make decision.
This is 1st illust from Kogetsu. The width/length ratio was different from what we wanted. She missunderstood this illust was for side door as same as the other illust.
Then, we requested to change the ratio.
I also requested to make more contrast with black and white.

This is 2nd one. Looks much better. At this point, I got request from sticker company that max line width they can cut is 2mm. Then, I asked Kogetsu how 2mm looks like.

3rd
This shows 2mm line. Looks rough, but not bad.
At this point, client requested to change hair style and remove ribon. And also requested to change data type to "illustrator ver.10" from her original one so that we can save the re-draw cost for sticker company by 8000 JPY.
I felt Kogetsu was becomming negative for this task because of many change request from her response.
So, I recommend to client to give her additional 3000 JPY. We can still save 5000 JPY.

4
Then, Kogetsu became comfortable and accepted the change.

5
But here, we found the size need to be extended to make it look more natural. Then, we made simulation picture for explanation.

8
This is expanded one. We confirmed with this rough. And also asked "What can't be changed?". Then, she said "Line can't be changed, color can be changed if it is small change". Then, we push go.

6
This is line finish. Looks good

Final
This is final one. Looks exactly what we wanted.

What I learned from this experience, it is difficult to explain picture request. But I also learned I can get exactly what I want if I keep the good communication. Japanese illustrator' level is quite high.
But it would be impossible if I can't write/read Japanse.
