Commission

Contour takes on a limited number of commissions per season. Here is what the process actually looks like.

01

Who we work with

Parks departments, campuses, shops, restaurants, and small brands — anyone who wants a map, sign, print run, or illustration made by hand instead of assembled from a template.

02

Timeline

A typical commission runs six to twelve weeks from the first visit to finished files, depending on the medium — longer for large sites, print runs, or a busy season.

03

What you get

Print-ready files, a web-optimized version, and the original hand-drawn artwork if you want it framed for a lobby, shop, or studio wall.

04

What we need from you

Access for an initial visit or reference materials, a sense of what matters most to your project, and one point of contact who can sign off on revisions.

Have a project that needs a hand?

We work directly with parks departments, campuses, shops, restaurants, and small brands — no agency middleman, one person assigned per project start to finish.
