Nancy Pochis Bank Art Studio works closely with clients to design and create original, high impact artwork. A typical project includes:
Step 1 – Idea Generating
Clients can come to our studio, located at 4040 N. Kedzie Ave. in the Albany Park neighborhood in Chicago, and meet with us to discuss your goals, audience, ideas and expectations for the artwork (this can also happen over the phone). We’ll ask questions, take notes and brainstorm ways to make your ideas a reality.
Step 2 – Thumbnail Directional Sketching
NPB Studio artists will create a variety of thumbnail sketches (small, quick, loose pencil drawings intended to express an idea). These sketches will allow you to imagine several different designs and approaches to the artwork. We’ll help you select from these directional sketches or choose elements from several of the designs.
Step 3 – Finalizing the Sketch
Once the direction is selected, we will create a more detailed color sketch for your approval, and revise this sketch to satisfy your needs. Upon your approval, we are ready to create your artwork.
Step 4 – Execution of Artwork
Depending on the size of the project, a team of 2-6 artists will create your artwork on location or in the studio, in the most efficient and effective manner. We will check in with you during the execution of the artwork to make sure we are meeting or (preferably) exceeding your expectations.
