About D21 Studio

We often receive the question what is the difference between an initial call and a consultation and which one should be chosen
The answer is actually simple if you understand what your goal is at that specific moment
Initial Call Introduction and Direction Setting
The initial call is always about getting to know each other
We introduce ourselves and get to know you
During this call
we identify your wishes needs and goals
we understand your situation and context
we outline possible solution directions
we briefly discuss price ranges before starting any work
If the topic is for example a signage project we work together to understand what would work best in your specific case
whether dimensional letters are the right solution
a double sided sign
or possibly signage behind a shop window
The same approach applies to all our services graphic design logo development printing services and 3D design
This is an orientational conversation without in depth analysis but with a clear goal to understand whether we are the right partner for your project
Consultation In Depth Work and Real Added Value
A consultation is a structured and in depth process
During a consultation
we carry out a detailed analysis of the situation and task
we evaluate requirements and expected results
we rely on our experience concrete examples and analytical data
we provide clear recommendations and actionable next steps
As a result of the consultation you receive real added value that can be used immediately regardless of whether the further work is continued with us or implemented elsewhere
So What Is the Difference
The difference is not in time or format it is in the goal
If you need to understand whether we can help
create signage that fits your needs
prepare an advertising campaign
develop a logo or design solution
then an initial call is fully sufficient
If you already have a specific question or challenge
need professional advice
need to evaluate whether an idea will work in your specific situation
or need to find the most effective solution
then a consultation is required
Conclusion
The initial call helps define the direction
The consultation helps make the right decisions
Both are important each at its own stage
We always start with an initial call which is free of charge and you are welcome to get in touch

Mārtiņš Strods – Creative Director

At the moment, our studio is developing a special and heartfelt project — a children’s poetry book. The client came to us with a well-prepared foundation: original watercolor illustrations and self-written poems.
Our task is to carefully scan the illustrations and professionally process the images, preserving the lightness of watercolor, subtle color nuances, and the handmade character, while ensuring high print quality. Throughout the process, we pay close attention to color accuracy, tones, and details so that the illustrations appear in print exactly as intended.
The processed illustrations are adapted to the book’s format and page layout, creating a visually harmonious whole together with the poems. Each image is handled with respect for the author’s vision and the story it conveys.
The goal is not only technically high-quality image preparation, but also to create a book that feels warm, personal, and alive — appealing and accessible to both children and adults.
Projects like this highlight the importance of creative collaboration and a thoughtful approach to details. We are pleased to be part of a process where illustrations, poetry, and design come together in one story.
