Frequently asked questions

What is illustration design?

Illustration design is the creation of original visual artwork to communicate an idea, tell a story, explain information or strengthen a brand. It can include digital illustration, characters, icons, editorial artwork, concept art and other visual styles.

What does an illustration design service include?

Depending on the project, Durr can create brand illustrations, character and mascot designs, vector artwork, icons, editorial illustrations, packaging artwork, social media illustrations, concept art and illustrations for digital products.

What types of illustration does Durr create?

Durr can work across different visual directions, including flat illustration, hand-drawn styles, vector illustration, character-led artwork, editorial illustration and custom brand illustration.

What is the difference between illustration and graphic design?

Illustration focuses primarily on creating original artwork to communicate an idea, story or visual concept. Graphic design combines elements such as typography, imagery, layout and colour to solve a broader visual communication problem. The two can overlap within the same project.

Can Durr create custom illustration for a brand?

Yes. Custom brand illustration can be developed around your visual identity, audience, campaign and intended applications, creating artwork that feels specific to your business rather than generic.

Can Durr create character or mascot designs?

Yes. Character illustration and mascot design can be developed for campaigns, brands, products, social content and other customer-facing experiences.

Can Durr create illustrations for social media?

Yes. Illustration can be designed specifically for social media formats, campaigns and recurring content systems, including artwork intended to work across multiple platforms.

Can Durr create illustration for packaging?

Yes. Durr can create custom packaging illustration designed around the product, brand identity, packaging format and overall customer experience.

How much does illustration design cost in Bahrain?

Illustration design costs vary depending on the complexity, style, number of illustrations, revisions, usage requirements and final formats. A simple icon set and a detailed character illustration, for example, require very different levels of creative production.

How do I commission custom illustration?

Start with the purpose of the illustration, where it will be used, the message it needs to communicate and any existing brand guidelines or visual references. Durr can then help define the creative direction, scope and deliverables.

Illustration can do what stock photography often can’t: create a visual that belongs to your brand.

For businesses in Bahrain and across the GCC, custom illustration can bring more personality to campaigns, make complex ideas easier to understand and give audiences something more distinctive to remember. Durr creates illustration design services around the message, medium and audience not around a fixed visual style.

Build a visual language people recognise

Illustration becomes more powerful when it works as a system. Colours, shapes, characters, textures and icon styles can work together across your website, social media, campaigns and marketing materials.

Durr can create brand illustration systems that give your business a consistent visual language without making every asset look identical.

Make complex ideas easier to see

Some ideas are difficult to photograph.

Processes, abstract concepts, services, data and technical subjects can become much easier to understand when they’re translated into visual form. Illustration can simplify the idea without stripping away what makes it important.

Give campaigns more personality

A campaign doesn’t always need another photograph of a smiling person pointing at a product.

Custom illustration can create worlds, characters and visual concepts that are built specifically around the campaign. From social media illustration to advertising and packaging, the result is something your audience hasn’t seen a hundred times before.

Design for more than one screen

A useful illustration should travel.

The same visual language can extend from websites and apps to presentations, social content, packaging, editorial content and physical brand experiences. Durr creates artwork with its final application in mind, so the illustration works as well in context as it does on its own.

Make the visual do some of the talking

The best illustration isn’t decoration added after the message is finished.

It’s part of the message.

That’s why Durr combines visual thinking, illustration craft and brand context to create artwork that communicates not just artwork that fills space.
