I am launching a new coastal lifestyle apparel brand called OLA PANAMA in Panama. I am looking for an experienced apparel graphic designer or illustrator to create unique and engaging designs for our brand. The ideal candidate will have a strong portfolio in apparel graphics and illustration, with a focus on coastal themes. Responsibilities include designing graphics for t-shirts, hoodies, and other apparel items, ensuring high-quality print-ready files, and collaborating with our team to bring our brand vision to life.

Need illustration of a small dog that interacts with historical figures. Each page will correspond with the text on the right, illustration on the left. 15 chapters and 15 different illustrations.

The Brand Vibe: The brand focuses on the intersection of nature, storytelling, and creativity. We are looking for a visual identity that feels:

Organic and Earthy
Artistic/Hand-crafted
Timeless and Elegant
Inspiring and Educational

Scope of Work:

Primary logo: A main logo featuring the name.
Brand Mark/Icon: A simplified version or sub-mark (e.g., a botanical element or monogram) for use on social media etc.

Color Palette:
#436A41
#F6F6F2
#6A5C41

Typography: Selection of fonts that complement the logo.

Requirements:

A portfolio that demonstrates a "fine art" or organic style (hand-drawn elements, watercolor, or delicate line art are a plus).
Ability to provide the final files in vector format (SVG & PSD/AI).

Looking for junior 2D artists to check sets of AI-generated images of anime/fantasy characters. You need to find errors and fix them in Photoshop or other gfx editor.

In rare cases you can throw out an image as unfixable.

Requirements:

1. some skill drawing by hand + understanding of anatomy (the most common error is broken/missing/extra/deformed fingers). You need to have formal training as an artist. If you never drew a human portrait/figure by hand, you won't be able to fix these images or understand where anatomy is broken and how it should be instead

2. pedantic/attentive personality type, to spot errors like in a Hidden Object game

3. use keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop (or other tool of your choice). This will drastically increase your speed and earning, as I can give repeat jobs like this


Each image set is about 100 pictures. I'm generally ready to pay $1 per image checked/fixed, so you can bid $100. Fixing an image should take 5-15 minutes. So, the workload is about 20 hours, or 2-3 work days, and approx resulting earnings per hour about $6-10.

I will send you more details and image fixing examples before accepting your bid.

I need to hire at least a dozen people for this, and I will keep hiring you for repeat jobs if everything goes fine.

• Which formal training as an artist do you have?

Create a t-shirt design for a team members for a Latin themed venue (restaurant/bar/club).

The design should be vintage hand-drawn pin-up matchbook style.

You can create from scratch or suggest what elements to trace from examples and edit for the final version.

Further instructions with examples are in the Canva link. https://canva.link/psci4o9834pbxrp

If you are interested please reply citing the following points and replying underneath:
did you look at the Canva file? (Y/N)
time estimation for task
vector ability (1-10, which programs?)
illustration ability (1-10)
hand illustrations ability (1-10)
how will you use AI to complete this?

And send a link or user name/platform to your online portfolio in a place that is convenient to browse as upwork has terrible UI for that. Please do not send any files - we won’t open them nor consider you.

I have a photo of a retail kiosk and I need a hand-drawn style rendering of it so I can show the mall management a clear concept. The look I’m after is a realistic sketch—true to the reference photo yet still obviously a drawing. Please keep the shading minimal: light tonal work is fine, heavy textures or full coloring are not necessary.

The two things that must read immediately are the display racks/shelves and the kiosk’s signage and branding panels. Proportions do not have to be exact; this is purely a visual approval piece, not a construction document.

Deliverables:
• High-resolution JPG or PDF of the finished sketch
• Source file (PSD, Procreate, or layered TIFF) in case minor tweaks are needed before submission

If this sounds like your kind of quick visualisation task, let’s get started—I can send the photo reference as soon as you accept.

Skills: 3D Rendering, Illustration, 3D Modelling, Design, Sketch, 2D Drawing, 2D Layout

Hi Natalie,

Graphic Textile Designer & Artist — Luxury Sleepwear & Lifestyle Brand
Hi there we're a young luxury sleepwear and lifestyle label, and we're looking for a textile designer and artist to help bring our prints to life.
We care deeply about craftsmanship, restraint and building a world people genuinely want to belong to. Think Italian-made loungewear sensibility, beautiful cloth, and print that feels considered rather than loud. If that sounds like your kind of world, we'd love to hear from you.
What we'd love your help with:

Original repeat prints and surface designs for our sleepwear and loungewear, made on a viscose silk base cloth
Colour separations, strike-off review and Pantone specs so everything translates beautifully in production
Labels, woven and printed tags, swing tags and packaging artwork
Clean, production-ready files prepared to our manufacturer's spec

You might be a great fit if you:

Have a refined, editorial eye and a portfolio of original textile or surface work you're proud of
Understand repeat, scale and colourways, and how a print really behaves on cloth
Are comfortable preparing files for textile printers and manufacturers
Love the small details that quietly separate luxury from everything else
Have a soft spot for fashion, design, travel and culture

Block print, hand-drawn or painterly work is a lovely bonus.
We'd genuinely love to see your portfolio, especially two or three textile or print projects that mean the most to you, with a quick note on what you did on each. Tell us a little about yourself too. We read every application.

I need a seamless half-drop repeat and print-ready files (AI/PSD + 300 DPI TIFF).

Looking for 35 colorable pages for a mental health coloring book. I will provide inspiration words for each of the 35 pages, ideas that the end user will meditate upon while coloring, however the illustrations do not have to reflect that piece.
Idealy the art will have thin lines, flowing patterns, repeat sequences, soothing directions and soft waves. Please submit an example of what you think this project could contain when applying for this position.

My production team and I are producing short, animated comedy videos and we’re looking for background artists! We’re currently interviewing background artists to help design and prepare backgrounds specifically for animation so experience in making backgrounds for animation is preferred.

Attached are a couple examples of our backgrounds, we do a lot of vertical and some horizontal bgs.

These backgrounds will be used in animated shorts, so they must be animation-ready, layered correctly, and easy for animators to work with.

We work in photoshop and Toonboom, the exports would at least have to be exported in one of these. Also just a note about text, our text is gritty and usually hand drawn style vs. ai bg text or stock text.

Let me know if you can do this and thanks!

**About the Project**
Page Petal is a handcrafted pressed flower bookmark brand made in Scottsdale, Arizona, stocked in Barnes & Noble and indie bookstores and gift shops nationwide. We're expanding into a greeting card line and are looking for a botanical illustrator to bring four cards to life before the end of summer 2025.

You can get a feel for our aesthetic and brand at pagepetal.com

**What We're Creating**
Four greeting card fronts (4×6), each with a distinct occasion:
- Thinking of You

- Merry Christmas

The inside of each card will hold a 2×3 pressed flower bookmark, nestled into four corner slits — so the illustration on the front should feel like a beautiful complement to the handcrafted keepsake inside.

**Style & Aesthetic**
Our brand is dreamy, botanical, and softly nostalgic — think vintage bookplates, pressed petals, sun through a library window.

**Deliverables**
- 4 original front-of-card illustrations
- Print-ready files (300 dpi, sized for 4×6)
- Source files included

**Timeline**
End of summer 2026.

**To Apply**
Please share portfolio samples that reflect a botanical or nature-inspired illustration style. Bonus points if you have experience with greeting cards, stationery, or gift product design.

The sibling we’re creating is the oldest brother of the 7 siblings. We’re creating the face that came before our first creation. Since this is his eldest brother, I’d like to use our prior creation, ‘Vicente’ as a main reference because they still need to look Iike they’re siblings. Same complexion, same hairstyle etc. The style of the first headshot needs to be the same for this next sibling, same angle especially and this must match every new sibling we create in the future. Instead of the blue & black that we gave Vicente in the background, Jordon gets red & black.
We’re about to create-
Jordon Salvador DeTours.

He is twenty eight years old, he’s 6’5 and ten pounds heavier than Vicente. He’s six years older than him so that needs to show. His facial features of course favor Vicente but his jaw is more square which means his cheekbones are different. You gave Vicente grey highlights on his cheekbones, you would need to do the same for Jordon since they’re immortal. He has the same eye shape as Vicente however they are a chestnut brown, the T-shirt he’s wearing matches his eye color. He’s in black jeans and boots. He wears a gold watch on his right wrist, with a short, thin gold chain around his neck which is tucked under his shirt. His brows are as thick as Vicente’s, his hair is also the same. They also share the same ear shape, pointy ears. However, Jordan‘s brows need to be pulled down in this headshot and he’s not grinning either. His facial expression needs to be a look of determination.

Project Overview

I am looking for an experienced vector illustrator to create a detailed, fully editable collage-style design for Melhus Fotball, a football club in Melhus, Norway.

The finished artwork will be used on merchandise such as:

* Hoodies and T-shirts
* Water bottles
* Coffee mugs
* Posters
* Other printed products

The visual direction is inspired by collegiate and destination merchandise designs where many smaller illustrations, landmarks, symbols and typography are combined into one cohesive composition.

Reference images will be provided.

The references are for style, density and layout inspiration only. The final design must be an original composition and must not directly copy any protected artwork.

Important Requirement

This must be a genuine vector illustration created manually in Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer or similar professional vector software.

I do not want:

* An AI-generated raster image placed inside an SVG file
* A simple automatic Image Trace conversion
* Thousands of unclean anchor points
* Embedded low-resolution raster illustrations
* A design that only looks correct at one specific size

The artwork must be clean, scalable, organized and suitable for professional merchandise production.

Desired Style

The design should have a detailed, hand-drawn souvenir or collegiate merchandise style.

The general visual direction should include:

* Many smaller illustrated elements combined into one composition
* Hand-drawn or screen-printed character
* Bold typography
* Clear visual hierarchy
* Consistent line weights
* Slightly vintage or distressed appearance
* Strong black-and-white foundation
* Selective use of accent colors
* Enough detail to feel rich, but not overcrowded
* A composition that can wrap around cylindrical products such as bottles and mugs

The design should work especially well on black garments. White or light-gray outlines should therefore be used where needed.

Main Typography

The primary title should be:

MELHUS FOTBALL

The heading should be bold, distinctive and integrated naturally with the illustrations.

The exact typography should be recreated as proper vector lettering. Fonts may be used as a starting point, but the final text must be converted to outlines.

Elements to Include

The composition should incorporate a selection of recognizable Melhus and football-related elements.

Melhus landmarks and local identity

* Melhus Church
* Gimse Bridge, shown as the correct steel truss bridge
* Melhus grain silo
* The Gaula River
* A jumping salmon
* Agricultural references
* A green-and-yellow John Deere tractor
* A Norwegian passenger train
* The Melhus road or town sign
* An E6 road sign
* Local nature, trees, river rocks and landscape details

Historical and cultural identity

* A reference to Einar Tambarskjelve
* A kneeling archer or heraldic archer motif
* Inspiration from the Melhus municipal coat of arms
* A subtle reference to Melhus as Sagabygda

Football-related elements

* Melhus Fotball identity in black and white
* Central football crest or emblem
* Players wearing black-and-white striped shirts
* A group of five youth players seen from behind
* Football scarf
* Football boot
* Goal and football
* Trophy
* Goalkeeper or action-player illustration
* Supporters celebrating
* Team flag or supporter elements

Some elements may be removed or simplified during the design process to improve the overall composition.

Composition

The design should be developed so it can be adapted to several formats.

I would like:

1. A vertical back-print composition for hoodies and T-shirts
2. A horizontal or wraparound variation suitable for water bottles and mugs
3. A simplified version for smaller print areas, if required

The composition should remain readable when reduced in size.

The designer should first provide one or more rough layout sketches before completing the detailed vector artwork.

Color Palette

The primary palette should be:

* Black
* White
* Light gray

Suggested accent colors:

* Red
* Gold or yellow
* Blue
* Green
* Muted orange or rust tones

The design should preferably be limited to a manageable number of spot colors so that it can be adapted for screen printing.

Please provide:

* Full-color version
* Reduced-color version
* Black-and-white version
* Version optimized for black garments
* Version optimized for white or light-colored products

Technical Deliverables

The final delivery must include:

* Adobe Illustrator file, preferably AI
* Editable SVG
* EPS
* Vector PDF
* Transparent PNG preview at high resolution
* RGB and CMYK versions
* Fonts converted to outlines
* All strokes expanded where appropriate
* Clearly named and organized layers
* No missing linked files
* No hidden raster artwork unless specifically agreed in advance
* Clean, professionally simplified paths
* Color palette or swatch information

The master file should include separate layers or groups for:

* Typography
* Central crest
* Buildings and landmarks
* Players and supporters
* Vehicles and agricultural elements
* Nature and water
* Decorative elements
* Color accents

Print Requirements

The design must be prepared for professional printing, including possible:

* Screen printing
* DTF printing
* DTG printing
* Sublimation
* UV printing on bottles and mugs

Very thin lines and tiny details that will disappear during printing should be avoided.

The designer should understand:

* Minimum printable line thickness
* Spot-color separation
* Knockout and overprint considerations
* Artwork preparation for dark garments
* Scaling illustrations without loss of quality

Copyright and Originality

The completed design must be original.

The selected freelancer must confirm that:

* No unlicensed stock artwork will be used
* No copyrighted collegiate merchandise will be copied
* No AI-generated artwork will be used as the final deliverable
* All source files and commercial usage rights will be transferred to me after final payment
* Any fonts, brushes or textures requiring licenses will be disclosed before use

The supplied reference designs are for inspiration only.

Work Process

The preferred process is:

1. Review the references and project brief
2. Agree on the final list of illustrated elements
3. Create one to three rough composition sketches
4. Select and revise one direction
5. Develop the clean vector linework
6. Add colors and textures

I’m upgrading the curb-appeal of my ice-cream truck with a fresh sandwich board and need a designer who can turn our full menu into an eye-catching, illustrated layout. The board’s main job is to showcase the menu items clearly; price points and flavour names must jump out at passing families while still leaving room for my business name and logo in a supporting role.

Every item on the board should be paired with a playful, hand-drawn style illustration rather than photos or simple icons. Think bright, creamy colours, fun textures, and a touch of whimsy that feels homemade but still polished enough for print. I’m open on typography as long as it stays highly legible from a few metres away.

I’ll supply:
• A current list of flavours, sizes, and prices
• Vector files for the logo

You’ll deliver:
• Concept sketch for review
• Final print-ready artwork (A-frame dimensions, CMYK, 300 dpi, layered source file)
• Web-optimised PNG/JPEG I can post on social media

Please pitch with a brief note on your illustrative style and links to any food-related signage you’ve created. Looking forward to seeing a board that makes everyone crave a scoop the moment they spot the truck.

Skills: Graphic Design, Photoshop, Illustrator, Typography, Illustration, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Print Design

I run a tiny neighborhood bakery and I’m ready for a unique, hand-drawn logo that captures our warm, homemade vibe. The finished mark must feature our bakery name prominently and include a friendly mascot illustration of a swan baking treats, to give customers an instant personal connection.

Because I’d like to start using the new branding on packaging and socials right away, I need the first concepts as soon as you can turn them around, with quick revisions to follow.

Deliverables I expect:
• Two or more rough concepts in the hand-drawn style for initial review
• One polished final design after revisions
• Source files in vector format (AI or SVG) plus high-resolution PNG/JPEG for web and print

Overview
We're producing the on-screen content for a large corporate celebration and need a senior motion designer for two connected pieces of work: a set of looping video spots built from hand-drawn illustrations, and a motion graphics package to overlay on an existing announcement video. This is a fast, tightly defined sprint, delivered in about 12 days.
Art direction, source files, and a full content list are ready to hand off on day one. We need someone who can move quickly, take clean direction, and deliver broadcast-quality work without hand-holding.
The artwork is bold, funky, and hand-illustrated. The event is high energy. We want these animations to feel alive and exciting, not like corporate stock motion graphics.
The work
Part 1: Looping spots. 9 to 12 short looping animations for TVs and large-format screens, including:

Welcome and "Congratulations" holds
A countdown timer (roughly 20 seconds, with loud, exciting audio)
An intro / transition animation into a main video
A reel "holder" loop that plays before featured video content
Ambient large-screen pieces (including a slow, subtle animation for a feature wall)

Part 2: Graphics package over video. A set of motion graphics, lower thirds, and callouts to overlay on an existing 10-minute announcement video. The footage is already cut and finished and will be supplied. This package draws on the same hand-drawn base artwork as the looping spots, so the visual language carries across the whole event.
What we'll provide: layered hand-drawn PSD source files, the finished 10-minute announcement video, a content list mapping every looping spot to where it plays, and exact delivery specs per surface (codec, resolution, frame rate).
What we need from you

Seamless loops. In and out frames match, no visible hitch on repeat.
Faithful to the hand-drawn style. The art has personality and we want to keep it.
Multiple delivery formats. Standard TVs take MP4 (H.264). The large LED screens take ProRes or HAP (.mov). We'll give you the exact specs per surface.
Light sound design on a few spots (the countdown especially). Most spots are silent loops.

Who you are

Senior motion designer / animator, expert in After Effects and your supporting toolset
Strong at animating from illustration and layered PSD source while preserving the original style
Skilled at building clean lower thirds, callouts, and graphics packages that composite onto finished footage
Experience with event, broadcast, or large-format screen content is a big plus
Comfortable producing seamless looping content and delivering multiple final formats
Responsive and decisive. This is a sprint against a fixed event date, so daily communication and fast iteration are part of the job.

Timeline

Roughly 12 days, hard deadline. The event date does not move.
Kickoff immediately on hire.
Fast review cycles. Expect to share work-in-progress frequently rather than disappearing and returning with finals.

To apply, please include

A reel or portfolio showing animation work, ideally pieces built from illustration or hand-drawn art.
One line on your availability and capacity over the next 12 days.
Your rate: an hourly rate, or a flat project bid for the full scope (looping spots plus the video graphics package).
The tools you plan to use.

Please open your response with the word "MUSIC FEST" so we know you read the post. AI is making it too easy to mass apply, and we don't have time to restaff this.

Hey! We’re currently looking to bring on a designer who can help create static ads and creative assets for our jewelry brand on an ongoing basis.

We’re looking for someone with a strong eye for design, branding, and performance-focused creative who can work with us regularly as we continue to scale.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, we’d love to see your portfolio and learn more about your experience to see if you’d be a good fit.

An upcoming entertainment series for YouTube demands a single creator who can fluidly combine 2D and 3D animation into one cohesive story video. The narrative direction, characters, and shot list are already drafted, so the core mission is to bring them to life with believable, realistic characters rendered in a style that feels cinematic yet playful enough for Shorts and longer-form uploads.

Scope of work
• Blend hand-drawn-style 2D layers with fully lit 3D scenes, using whichever pipeline you prefer (After Effects, Blender, Maya, Toon Boom, etc.) as long as cuts feel seamless.
• Drive the story through AI-assisted tools when useful—whether that means rapid storyboard generation, background expansion, or lip-sync passes—while still exercising a strong animator’s eye for polish.
• Design every principal character from scratch based on my references, ensuring anatomy and facial expressions read as realistic.
• Edit the final piece in a way that serves two lengths: a vertical YouTube Short (≤60 s) and a horizontal long-form version (≈4–5 min), both delivered in 4K ready-to-upload H.264 plus project source files.
• Layer in bespoke sound effects, ambience, and background music so pacing lands and emotional beats hit cleanly. I will provide VO; you will clean and mix it.

Acceptance criteria
1. Animation playback is smooth at 24 fps without jitter or off-model poses.
2. Transitions between 2D and 3D elements feel intentional, not jarring.
3. Color, lighting, and grade remain consistent across all shots.
4. Audio is balanced to broadcast standards; dialogue never drowns under music/SFX.
5. All assets are original or properly licensed, and full rights transfer on payment.

This role is open exclusively to Philippine-based creators because of timezone collaboration needs and cultural nuances in the script. If you have a reel that already showcases realistic characters merging 2D and 3D techniques, and you’re comfortable weaving AI workflows into traditional pipelines, you’ll be the perfect fit.

Skills: Animation, After Effects, Maya, 3D Modelling, 3D Animation, 2D Animation, Blender, AI Animation
