Custom Artwork Commissions

Primary offer, concept versus production timing, commercial structure.

Custom commissioned artwork is Semblance's primary offer.

Semblance interprets a project brief and develops original artwork around the space, aesthetic direction, dimensions and deadline. Work may involve one artwork, a coordinated set or multiple bodies of work across different areas of a property.

Core components

  • brief interpretation and creative direction
  • concept and mockup development
  • presentation of visual directions for review
  • development of the approved artwork
  • agreed revision rounds as defined per project
  • delivery of high-resolution, production-ready artwork files to agreed dimensions and specifications
  • licensing and reproduction rights defined according to the scope of the project

Concept development and final artwork production

Initial concepts and mockups may be developed quickly to support client presentations and approvals.

Once a direction is approved, the final artwork is recreated and refined through Semblance's production workflow. Depending on the complexity of the piece, this may require approximately half a day to a full day of production per artwork.

This distinction must be explained clearly to new clients so that concept turnaround is not confused with final artwork production time.

Typical applications

  • hotels and restaurants
  • cruise ships
  • luxury and commercial developments
  • other interior-led projects

Value to the client

  • artwork created specifically for the project
  • direct oversight from Gavin Goodman
  • coherent direction across multiple works or spaces
  • one point of creative responsibility
  • an efficient route from brief to approved, production-ready artwork

Commercial structure

Custom commissions are normally priced through a creative fee together with licensing or reproduction fees defined per project.

Licensing terms are agreed according to the requirements of the project.

Copyright, licensing and reproduction rights are defined in scope-and-exclusions.md, which is the canonical policy for all Semblance services.

Pricing, timelines, revision limits, licensing terms and file specifications must be confirmed in the project proposal.
