Hello, everyone. Please see my brief below. I am a brand new baby business owner looking to begin a long-term working relationship with an artist that fits the bill! My budget is very small. My mom passed away and I am using what little she left me to take a leap I've always wanted to take. If my offer is too low for you to be interested, I understand! Please go ahead and scroll past. If you do happen to be interested, I'd love to see your examples and portfolios. Still trying to figure out the exact look I want for things but that's where you all come in. :) About the client: The client is building a new apparel and merchandise store centered around a specific sport. Designs are intended to resonate with people who play the sport, entertain and inspire them, and drive sales. Delivery window: Within 60 days Role & Collaboration: Searching for work-for-hire illustrator to create legendary designs for sport-focused apparel and merchandise business. We want an ongoing relationship as the business grows, to regularly add new designs (after initial package) and maintain brand consistency. The artist can work remotely from anywhere but must be fully fluent in English for effective and seamless communication. We are looking for someone enthusiastic about the challenge of creating new work from the client’s concepts/ideas. Deliverables: - Original designs for apparel and merchandise, usable for print-on-demand products, theming the business website/store, and for use on social media to showcase and promote the business and products. - Artwork that evokes emotion, entertains, and connects with people who play the sport, while supporting sales. - Clean look that is detailed enough to be interesting but not so detailed that it becomes messy on stickers and other products. - Designs will feature mythical creatures and legendary figures playing the sport, holding equipment, etc. - Eye-catching and colorful artwork that appeals to a wide range of ages from youth to adult. - No gen AI may be used to create the artwork. Artist illustrations must be fully original. If AI is used to create any of the work, any and all relationships/contracts are canceled and void. - Client receives full rights to use the designs for the business and merchandise in perpetuity and however the client wishes. - Concepts and revisions are included in the fee of up to $100 per design. Note: The client requires 100% confidentiality for all discussions and business ideas. The artist must not use the client’s ideas for themselves, share them, or suggest them to anyone else. Confidentiality must be agreed to before work begins. Workload & Timeline: - Initial workload is 12 designs, with 6 delivered within one month of start date and the other 6 delivered within the second month. That is the maximum timeline. Earlier/faster delivery is preferred. - Create original designs for print-on-demand apparel and merchandise, plus artwork and graphics for the business website/store and for showcasing products in social media posts and advertisements. Each design includes unlimited concepts and revisions. Prepare files to the chosen print-on-demand provider’s specifications once that vendor is selected by the client. Start Date: - As soon as possible Engagement: - After the initial 12 designs, the business will undergo a period of marketing and wait for sales to start coming in. Once the business begins to get attention and makes some sales, expected continued cadence of artist work will be approximately one design per month, sometimes more or less, with the potential for additional designs for seasons/holidays/events. The client is willing to pay up to $100 per design and requires full rights to use the designs for the business and merchandise in any way they see fit. Looking forward to long-term collaboration. Initial Batch Budget: $1200 total for 12 designs; paid per design as completed and delivered. After the initial 12 designs, additional work can begin when the the store is ready for more.   submitted by   /u/CryptidLax [link]   [comments]
