Merging the Worlds of Design and Yachting
For over 20 years as an industrial designer, Stu Whitcomb has created a broad range of hi-tech and consumer products with companies such as Tektronix and Philco-Ford.
Stu has merged his design and boating experience to
create rich and accurate hi-tech yacht illustrations directly from your
plans and in some cases photos. These yacht illustrations are what Stu
calls "High Definition Yacht Illustrations".
These yacht illustrations are developed on a computer
and are typically printed with airbrush quality onto watercolor paper
using a very high-resolution 7-color ink jet printer. Other printers are
available, too. For ultra-high resolution, the LED printer images onto
a 50-year life archiving photo paper. For handouts and mass mailings,
high volume laser prints are available. In addition to the print, you
will receive a High Definition Illustration printed on a CD in TIFF and
JPEG formats. Archival CDs, of all work, will be maintained as backup
security at no additional charge.
COMMISSION PROCESS: The process begins with you placing
a deposit. Once this is done, I'll need a legible and accurate line drawings
of views necessary to complete the illustration as ordered. You'll be
contacted with a firm price for the completed project. Each vessel is
different, so it is impossible to quote a price without seeing an image.
Base prices are as follows:
Profile view - $420.00
Plan view - $525.00
A plan view includes one interior deck level. Additional views, such as
multi-deck levels or exterior plan views are extra.
Perspective view - $750.00
Additional copies of prints are available in high
volume color laser prints, airbrush quality on watercolor paper, and 24-bit
color Chromira LED prints. Display mounting, matting and framing are available.
