2D Design in Dubai, UAE: Process

Unlike 3D design, 2D design stipulates the creation and arrangement of elements on a two-dimensional plane. It doesn't require modeling, but the basic design principles are the same: the composition must be coherent, balanced, and proportionate from the get-go. And if it doesn't, it undergoes a proper revision.

Ordinarily, the process encompasses such stages as generating concepts, sketching, selecting colors and adding light/shadows, rendering, and finalizing the layout.

Establishing the Concept

No matter what you're looking for—a 2D or 3D character, object or location, custom art, or brand icon—the first step in the design process is to determine your needs. Initially, our objective is to fully understand your requirements and specifications in order to make up an elaborate work plan.

With that in mind, we'll aspire to grasp your idea and present it to your clients in a complimentary way. Here, we only come up with the general idea, theme, and style of your project without delving into too many details.

The process involves brainstorming sessions and thumbnail (very schematic) sketches to visualize the concept before moving forward.

Sketching

Once we have come to a consensus concerning your main idea, our team of designers and artists will proceed with drawing. This time, we will develop several options that represent possible designs for the service you selected, exploring diverse ideas and styles. Your creative participation and active involvement are very welcome since it helps us better accommodate your wishes.

Through the application of digital drawing tools, we refine and edit the initial sketches until we finally capture your vision, and you're satisfied with the results.

Detalization and Coloring

In this stage, our professionals experiment with different color palettes to choose the one that conveys the intended atmosphere and mood. The harmonizing colors also play a key role in enhancing the overall appeal of the picture.

As for detailed elaboration, it means adding more intricate elements to the image and improving its sophistication. However, this process involves not only adding new, unique elements but also making the final art more complex and refined. It also requires precision in the lines, making forms more realistic and otherwise correcting small details.

By getting rid of unnecessary and performing careful design on particular elements, your art looks holistic and well-developed, comprising a deep and captivating experience for the viewer.

Rendering

2D rendering improves flat illustration by adding light and shadows, texture of materials, reflections, backgrounds, finer hues, and palpability so that your art has a more realistic, finished edge. If detalization applies more to the technical side of the creation process, rendering relates to bringing depth, flavor, and originality to the composition.

When we render an artwork, we transform it from a flat, static image into an authentic graphic story.

Finalizing the Layout

The final stage of the design is setting elements in a logical order, ensuring harmony and seamless cohesion in the composition. Furthermore, it's correcting and adjusting them, adding the last touches to make them all work together.

The final piece of work undergoes this process to get ready for the project delivery. At this stage, we conduct a thorough reassessment of work and ensure compliance with customer requirements.

What 2D Design Solutions Do We Have for You?

Our full-service 2D design agency in Dubai provides a whole array of diverse offerings to cater to your creative needs, ensuring an integrated and non-standardized approach.

Character Design

Designing a character is a process of developing a detailed, wholesome image with a unique appearance that reflects their character traits and correlates with the concept of the game world. This comprehensive process involves: Conceptualization: gaining inspiration and considering the character's personality, background, and role, imagining their preliminary appearance; Initial sketches: with the focus on their overall shape, trying out different concepts to grasp the best depiction of their unique features; Detailed art: defining the selected concept and adding intricate facial and body features to create a cohesive appearance; suitable attire and accessories; choosing color palettes and textures; Receiving feedback: seeking reaction from the client, applying alterations; Finalizing the design and bringing it to perfection.

Concepts

Developing concepts includes concept art for characters and their weapons, the environment concepts and concepts of particular objects, as well as storyboarding (sequences of illustrative art to showcase the flow of events). Concept production services encompass: Brainstorming the idea; Crafting its initial representations (concept art); Depicting key moments in the narrative; Development and refinement of your existing visualizations to better match the main idea of your product.

Corporate identity design

Your corporate identity should work for your business, not against it. A corporate identity is more than just a logo. It's the expression of your brand, the stumbling block your customers are experiencing no matter where they are in the sales cycle, and the promise your employees make to them. It is your heart and mind that have become reality.

Illustrations

Our seasoned experts use basic graphic design methods and combine them with inventive approaches and their own creativity to deliver bespoke artwork for different purposes: game and application design, website marketing, publications, and others. Illustrations in 2D design typically involve the following uses: For games: 2D artwork serves as a visual accompaniment to the story and helps to interpret the storyline, boosting its emotional impact on the gamer; For publication materials: book and magazine covers or illustrative materials enhance the effect of the written text and explain it in a non-verbal way; For branding: crafting a recognizable company's logo and style that stand out among competitors and accentuate the brand's pivotal ideas; For other uses: for example, packaging your product or manufacturing printed clothes.

Spine Animations

If you're looking for quality motion graphics to compliment your video production, these object and character animation services are precisely what you need. 2D specialists manipulate certain objects and edit the skeletal animation. Every motion appears natural and realistic. This type of 2D animation applies to characters and items in the games, as well as to other parts of the environment. The animation studio focuses on manipulating the framework of an object or a character (a skeleton) to smoothly move them around. The techniques allow for the production of compelling digital content featuring dynamic motion.

Icons

Icons help users intuitively understand the website, application, or game structure and navigate it easily. An icon may also serve as an explainer sign in a presentation or other materials. When you order ready-made icons, designers from our creative agency use cutting-edge software to craft geometric or custom graphic symbols that are easy to recognize. Not only do we guarantee the high quality of our work, no matter the dimensions, but we also tailor it to the client's requirements in relation to size, color, theme, or style, ensuring clarity of the icon's perception. Besides, Digital Buddha is responsible for the delivery of icons, which means that we choose suitable formats compatible with the platform you prefer.

High-End 2D Design: Digital Buddha, Dubai/UAE

Our 2D design is where imagination combines with skill!

Why hire Digital Buddha? There are plenty of reasons to opt for our creative design and web development company, including:

Improved Graphical Interaction with the Final Consumer
Firstly, we create attractive visuals that clarify the context. For instance, if you order icons for a cosmetics brand, you tend to choose pastel or rich colors to draw attention to the product's elegance. On the other hand, infographic animations for an educational explainer video require an emphasis on data visualization to effectively showcase complex information. Similarly, illustrations for kid's books employ vibrant colors and fantasy style to evoke a sense of wonder, while for horror games, the preferred style is dark and fear-instilling.

Streamlined Project Administration

Our team of professionals is impeccably organized and relies on proper direction. Strategic task allocation, coordination of the work process, and control of quality are integral parts of our internal routines. For you, it means such an advantage as strict observance of deadlines without compromising the final quality.

Utilization of Innovative Technology

What makes any 2D art or character animation studio distinguish itself from competitors is its ability to use not one or two but a multitude of professional design tools. From Photoshop, Illustrator, and Sketch to Figma and Procreate, advanced tools that facilitate art creation and people who can use them enable our agency to keep leading positions in a competitive environment.

Insight into the Latest Trends in Design

It's definitely undesirable to discover that your design has become outdated, nearing post-production, or after receiving negative feedback. Thus, Digital Buddha focuses on presenting original concepts with respect to the newest trends in the market. Whether it's hyperrealistic details in a game, dreamlike landscapes in concept art, or characters with unconventional styles and dynamic poses, you can count on us to implement fresh ideas in reality.

Productive Expenditure of Time and Resources

Punctuality and cost-effectiveness are unquestionable advantages of professional companies. In case you need stunning 2D artwork promptly, applying to drawing experts is the only wise decision. Since agencies like Digital Buddha work with qualified designers, they're capable of optimizing the work process to handle more tasks and diminish your expenses in comparison with independent artists.

Integration into Diverse Mediums

That's why we pay close attention to the form of presentation. We create responsive and adaptable designs, guaranteeing an optimal viewing experience for your audience.
