Design Process

The most important value of Good Stuff No Nonsense brand is high quality and attention to detail. The fact that something is „hand drawn” doesn’t mean that it should look sloppy or poorly made.

I put a lot of effort to deliver the best possible product. It’s literary good stuff and no nonsense.

So how this works? – Let’s start from the beginning.

Part I

Your Goal

First I need to know more about your product or business, and for what do you need those icons.

Where they will be displayed and what purpose should they serve. Write everything that will help me understand your goals in the email.

Details

Then we talk about details. I’ll ask more questions regarding the project if necessary. We will also agree on the schedule and payment.

Keep in mind that I will need your company information for the invoice. For assignments under $500 I require payment upfront.

Discovery

After we deal with formalities, we will talk about what can be done.

This discovery part will help me understand what you need.

We will talk about your goals and what’s the best way to achieve them.

Part II

Sketch

I start sketching some ideas until I find the one that works best.

I explore it, polish it and send you the final sketch. If all goals are met and you are satisfied with the result, I progress to the next stage of the design.

Ink

I trace the icons on tracing paper using two different thickness pigment liners.

Using two lines with different thicknesses make icons interesting and visually well balanced.

Vector

The last stage is digitizing the icons. I scan the ink version and trace them in Adobe Illustrator by hand, using Illustrator’s pen tool.

This approach guaranties icon high quality and uniqueness. If we agreed on colored icons, this will also be the time when I work on color.

Deliverables

After all invoices are settled. I will send you the icons in ZIP package. You will receive AI, EPS, PDF files with vector icons, as well as icons saved separately in PNG (in the dimensions we previously agreed) and SVG files .

Agata was an absolute pleasure to work with. The quality of her work is exceptional, but in addition to that, she took the time to really learn about the project, provided quick and timely communication, and was very receptive to feedback. I will certainly contact her for any future design needs, and would highly recommend her.

Icons Are Not Logos

One thing to keep in mind. Icons are not logos. Logo design is much more complex and different. I do my best to deliver the best solution for you and you can trust me on this: hand drawn icons in the form that’s used on this page and in my icon sets won’t work well as a logo.

The best example is my very own logo here on this site. It was designed to look like hand drawn, but it’s not a hand drawn icon. And if I don’t use my own icons in my own logo – you shouldn’t either.

Testimonials

Susan Hollobaugh

We were looking for hand drawn icons that would be easy for people with limited ability to read or see. An extensive search led us to Agata at Good Stuff No Nonsense, who had several “sets” of icons but none that met all of our needs. She rapidly worked with us on an affordable way to bundle the icons we needed and to create some new ones. We even asked her for animated versions of an icon we initially thought could be static, and her results were outstanding. We are about to re-launch our app with these and are very excited about this improvement to it. Not only will it make the app easier to use, but her icons made the app so attractive little other design work was needed. She’s a consummate professional – meets deadlines, is willing to take suggestions and offers her own. We hope to have a long relationship with her.
