Hello there, I'm looking for a skilled designer (preferably with experience in textile or packaging design) to help me create a custom pattern layout for tissue paper that will be printed on a professional tissue paper machine.

The design is already created — I just need your help making sure it's set up correctly for printing, in the exact size: 75 cm x 48 cm. The final file must be print-ready and optimized for seamless printing on tissue paper rolls or sheets.

I'm not sure if this falls under textile design or graphic design, but ideally, you’ll have experience working with print templates or packaging materials. If you understand how tissue paper or wrapping paper patterns are prepared for production, that’s a huge plus!

Deliverables:

Print-ready file (75x48 cm)

Any guidelines or notes for the printer (bleed, repeat pattern, etc.)


Please include relevant samples of similar work if you have any.

Ps: I have attached the exact design pattern but it should be smaller and not

Hi

I need three characters developed for an educational resource manual.

One is a slightly chubby teacher with curly hair, the other two are fictional characters, Noodle (intellectual, logical and practical) and Doodle (curious, creative and playful).

I need them to have an array of different emotions and movements in order to place the characters on different pages and worksheets throughout the manual.

I'd like the use of only black outlines, with bright primary and secondary colours, as well as pink.

I'd also like you to create a book cover page and back page for me featuring Noodle and Doodle on the front and Miss Jessica on the back.

Hi Tri! My name is Ceren and I am looking for someone to help me create a custom bday card for my best friend. I have this video of the two of us that I would love to be traced as a still photo on procreate (without the background and with creative freedom) so I can print it as the cover of the card. I want our stance, hair, outfit pieces (like the cowboy boots and hat) to look pretty much the same, and I don’t care for the background—just the two of us (yes we are weirdly blowing into each others faces).

What do you think? How long do you expect it to take? Her birthday is on April 14 but I need to ship the card internationally so I’d like to have it printed and ready by the first week of April.

Thanks so much!
