Logo Design Brief — Poirier Creative

Project Overview

I'm rebranding my creative studio and need a sophisticated, thoughtfully designed logo that reflects our French Provincial heritage and artisan positioning.

**Budget:** $50
**Deliverables:** Vector files (AI, EPS, or SVG) for both logo variations

---

## Company Background

**Company Name:** Poirier Creative
**Industry:** Brand strategy, web design, and content production
**Positioning:** Boutique creative studio for established businesses that value quality and differentiation
**Brand Aesthetic:** French Provincial — refined, artisan, warm, professional (not cottage-style or overly decorative)

**Key Detail:** "Poirier" is French for "pear tree" — this is the foundation of our heritage and brand story.

---

## What I Need

### Two Logo Variations (Both Required):

**Variation 1: Clean Wordmark Only**
- Just the text: "POIRIER CREATIVE" or "Poirier Creative"
- Elegant, sophisticated typography
- French Provincial feel (think classic French typography, not modern minimalism)
- Should work at all sizes (business cards to billboards)
- Professional but approachable

**Variation 2: Wordmark with Integrated Pear Element**
This is the most important variation. I want the pear thoughtfully woven INTO the typography, not just placed beside it.

**What I'm looking for:**
- Pear shape integrated as negative space
- Something subtle and clever that reveals itself on closer inspection

**What I DON'T want:**
- A pear icon sitting next to the wordmark (too literal, not integrated)
- A pear simply replacing the "O" (too obvious, been done)
- Decorative pear illustrations added as an afterthought
- Anything cute, playful, or cottage-style

**Think:** Negative space logos like FedEx arrow, hidden symbolism, artisan craft marks

---

## Design Direction

### Typography Style:
- Classic French serif
- NOT sans-serif, NOT script fonts
- Refined and timeless, not trendy

### Pear Shape Reference:
- Real pears have a distinctive shape: bulbous rounded bottom, narrow curved neck, small stem
- NOT an apple, NOT a light bulb, NOT a teardrop
- Study actual pear silhouettes for accuracy

### Brand Colors (for reference):
- **Primary:** Dusty Olive #6E7B6A (muted green)
- **Secondary:** Slate Blue-Gray #596269
- **Accent:** Soft Linen #F5F1E8 (cream)
- **Text:** Charcoal #2B2B2B

*Note: Logo should work in single color (black or olive green). Color is just for context.*

---

## Deliverables Required

**File Formats:**
- Vector files: AI, EPS, or SVG (editable)
- Black version and color version of each variation

**Both Variations:**
1. Wordmark only (clean, no pear)
2. Wordmark with integrated pear element

**Logo should work:**
- On light backgrounds (cream, white)
- On dark backgrounds (charcoal, olive, blue-gray)
- At small sizes (favicon, business card)
- At large sizes (website header, signage)

---

## Inspiration & Examples

**Design Style I Like:**
- French Provincial furniture details (curved, refined, artisan)
- Classic French typography and design
- Negative space integration (like the arrow in FedEx, or the spoon in Guild of Food Writers)
- Artisan craft marks and heritage brands

**What to Avoid:**
- Modern minimalist sans-serif
- Overly decorative or ornate (not Versailles-level fancy)
- Cute, playful, or whimsical
- Generic template-style logos

---

## Brand Personality

- **Refined** but not pretentious
- **Artisan** but not rustic
- **Professional** but approachable
- **French Provincial** heritage without being literal about it
- **Confident** and established (8 years in business)

We serve established businesses with budgets and appreciation for quality work. Our positioning is boutique creative studio, NOT budget-friendly neighborhood helper.

---

## Key Success Criteria

✅ Variation 2 (integrated pear) should be **clever and subtle** — the kind of detail people notice and appreciate
✅ Typography should feel **French and timeless**, not trendy
✅ Logo should work beautifully in **single color** (scalability is critical)
✅ Pear integration should feel **intentional and elegant**, not forced
✅ Overall feel: **artisan craftsmanship meets modern creative studio**

---

## Questions for Designer

1. Can you provide 2-3 rough concept sketches before finalizing?
2. How many rounds of revisions are included in your $50 rate?
3. Can you deliver vector files in AI or EPS format?
4. What's your estimated turnaround time?

---

## Final Notes

I'm looking for a designer who:
- Understands French Provincial aesthetic (not just "vintage" or "retro")
- Can execute thoughtful negative space integration (not surface-level icon placement)
- Appreciates typography and craft details
- Can deliver clean, professional vector files

Please share relevant portfolio examples of:
- Wordmark logos you've designed
- Negative space or hidden element logos
- French/European-inspired design work

Looking forward to seeing your concepts!

**Budget:** $50 (firm)
**Timeline:** Flexible, but ideally soon as possible
**Revisions:** 2 rounds included preferred

Here is a little more of an overview of what I am wanting to create in the way of embroidered hoodies and front printing cover of journals. I will be guided by you as to which option will be the way to go as I trust your creativity
The brand is centred around "Self-Healing" and the idea that our best "ingredients" are found within. I’m looking for a two-part design with the following vibes...

1. The Front Design of the Hoodie/ Tshirt (The Visual Focal Point):
Concept: A custom Mandala Tree and Mandala Sun.
Details: I would like to incorporate Moon Phases into the circular geometry of the mandala.
Vibe: Meaningful, spiritual, but clean enough for modern streetwear.
2. The Back Design (The Play on Words):
The Slogan: I want to use: "My Secret Ingredients? They’re Inner-Grown" and/or "Mixed with Intention: 100% Home-Healed."
The "Ingredients" List: I need these 5 core pillars listed artistically (perhaps in an apothecary ) on th leaves of the tree or on the branches. I also invisage a male and a female figure (can be abstract) that form the trunk, not making it about them but as a symbol of male and female energy. Listed below are my 5 secret ingredients
Choice
Intention
Kindness to Self
Grounding
Gratitude

Style: Sacred Geometry meets Boho-Minimalism.
Symmetry: Use a Mandala Tree where the roots are thick (Grounding) and the leaves morph into moon phases.
Typography: handwritten script for an "authentic and personal" vibe your calligraphy sounds amazing Liz.
To match the "Inner-Grown" theme, I visualise a mandala tree for the front., how awesome would it be, and such a beautiful Aussie vibe and a way to commemorate the gum tree miracle if you incorporated a gumtree as the "Tree of Life" it would be so special and it feels right as part of the story as my partner and i experinced a miracle the night Cyclone Alfred hit the Gold Coast. A 20ntonne gum innocently gave way falling over the roof that we were soundly sleeping under. This is of course the nutshell version and also my fuel to make this happen.
The Roots: These represent Grounding.
The Trunk: Represents your core Choice and Intention.
The Leaves/Bloom: A circular mandala pattern where the outer edges transition into Moon Phases, showing the times that we can manifest each one of these 5 secret ingredients.


Project Requirements:
Vector files suitable for embroidery on apparel. And printing onto the cover of a journal, pen , sticker and tote bag
A design that works on both dark (Midnight/Black) and light (Sage/Sand) fabrics.
I look forward to an estimated price range for a project like this 💗 I would need to see some work within 2 weeks and finalise the design within 3 weeks, as I am preparing this merchandise for my stall at this years Mind Body Spirit Festival in Melbourne Friday 5th to Monday 8th June
Looking forward to hearing from you Nina.
Much gratitude
Luisa

Answer this question:
What makes a t-shirt design sell well?

Create a premium logo system for the 2026 Schrader 1600, the 19th edition of an annual 1600m track race in Leander, Texas.

The logo should feel less like a generic track meet and more like an elite modern golf course identity: understated, collectible, slightly clubby, and highly wearable.

Think: Old Barnwell, Tree Farm, Ohoopee, Sleepy Hollow, The Hay — but translated into a track/racing context.

Core Direction

The central idea is:

Bell lap + four laps + heritage race

Use a custom lap bell paired with a subtle oval / track shape as the main icon.

The bell should be the symbolic identity of the event. It should feel like a mark people recognize, not clip art.

The logo should communicate:

annual tradition
fast seeded racing
PR-focused energy
Central Texas / Leander identity
premium sporting-club aesthetic
Critical Rule
Do not repeat “1600” twice.

The previous concepts had both:

SCHRADER 1600 in the wordmark
a separate large 1600 inside the icon

That feels redundant.

For the next round:

Option A — preferred

Use the wordmark:

SCHRADER 1600

Then the icon should be bell + oval only, with no large standalone “1600.”

Option B — alternate

Use the wordmark:

SCHRADER

Then supporting copy can say:

THE 1600 · 19TH EDITION
MAY 9, 2026 · LEANDER, TEXAS

This may feel even more premium and less literal.

Required Logo System

Please create three versions:

1. Primary stacked logo

For website hero, posters, signage, and race materials.

Suggested structure:

[Bell + Oval Icon]
SCHRADER 1600
19TH EDITION
MAY 9, 2026 · LEANDER, TEXAS

No duplicate “1600” inside the icon.

2. Secondary simplified mark

For hats, embroidery, stickers, social profile, small chest hits.

Possible directions:

bell + oval only
bell only
bell with subtle “S” detail
bell + SCHRADER
oval with four subtle breaks representing four laps

This version needs to work very small.

3. Optional badge / patch version

For merch, patches, stickers, and rope hats.

Can include:

SCHRADER 1600
LEANDER, TEXAS
EST. 2008
19TH EDITION

Keep it clean. Avoid overbuilding the badge.

Visual Style
Desired feel
premium
understated
heritage sporting club
modern golf-course logo energy
collectible
slightly mysterious
clean enough for embroidery
not overly “track meet”
Avoid
runner silhouettes
starter pistols
stopwatches
flames
wings
speed lines
generic lane graphics
giant duplicate numerals
high school athletics fonts
overly corporate sans-serif fonts
Icon Notes

The lap bell should be:

custom-drawn
simple but characterful
recognizable in silhouette
not cartoonish
not overly detailed
strong enough to stand alone

Subtle details to explore:

bell clapper forming an S
oval track with four small breaks for four laps
bell sitting slightly above or inside the oval
negative space suggesting a finishing straight
very subtle Texas / Leander reference, only if tasteful

Do not make the icon too literal or busy.

Typography

Typography should do a lot of the work.

Preferred direction:

elegant serif or heritage-inspired type for SCHRADER
restrained treatment for 1600
clean small caps for supporting info

The wordmark should feel like:
private sporting club + old race program + modern boutique golf brand

Avoid:

generic geometric sans
aggressive sports fonts
western novelty fonts
overly thin luxury fonts
Color Palette

Primary recommendation:

Forest green + cream

This feels the most aligned with the golf-course inspiration and will work well on hats, tees, stickers, and the website.

Additional acceptable palettes:

navy + cream
black + cream
clay red as a restrained accent

Avoid loud school/team colors unless used as a small accent.

Deliverables Requested

Please provide:

Primary stacked logo
Secondary simplified icon
Optional circular/oval badge
One-color version
Forest green/cream version
Small embroidery-friendly version
Horizontal wordmark version if possible
Final Creative North Star

The final logo should feel like:

An elite private golf club logo for a cult-favorite Texas mile race.

Someone should want the hat even if they are not running the race.

I am the writer of a Taiwan-styled action manhua and looking for an artist who can bring that vision to life. The current script is at 260 pages, but this project can be a one-off to see how we work together.

-Capable of illustrating both action/fighting sequences, as well as more realistic and relatable facial expressions and body language for the emotional/character-driven scenes

-Capable of emulating a 1980s/1990s art style that evokes techniques (shading, design, toning, etc) of that era. Points of reference are Bubblegum Crisis, Street Fighter art, Cowboy Bebop. Obviously, paper-and-pencil is not expected, but aiming away from the "digital look". Absolutely no AI.

-Several sequences contain Hanzi for sound effects/onomatopoeia, so an understanding of Traditional Chinese Hanzi is preferred

-While the script is finished, I am highly collaborative and welcome input on paneling, design, et cetera.

-Project is self-funded and I am launching a Kickstarter to acquire further funding for art, printing, and promotion. Hoping for 5-10 pages monthly, if project is fully funded through these means.

PROJECT TITLE
Design of custom anniversary football-style fan apparel for a Swiss friends group (20-year anniversary)

ABOUT US
We are four Swiss friends who have been playing cards together regularly for over 20 years. We met during university studies and have a long tradition of playing Jass for money. Every year we use the money for a group trip.

For our 20-year anniversary, we are travelling to the FIFA World Cup in the USA and want to create a unique custom fan outfit.

We are looking for a talented designer with experience in:
- streetwear
- football/soccer fan apparel
- varsity/baseball aesthetics
- retro sportswear
- fun illustrated merchandise

WHAT WE WANT
We would like a complete visual concept including:
- football/fan shirt
- matching shorts
- optional windbreaker or varsity/baseball jacket

STYLE DIRECTION
The design should feel:
- legendary
- humorous
- masculine
- sporty
- nostalgic
- beer-trip energy
- slightly chaotic but stylish

Think:
European football ultras meets American varsity style meets Swiss card-game nostalgia.

IMPORTANT DESIGN ELEMENTS
Please creatively integrate some of the following elements:

1. Swiss-German Jass card suits:

- Rosen

These are VERY important and should become part of the visual identity.

- Düsseldorf
- Frankfurt
- Faroe Islands
- Mallorca
(and possibly more later)

Could be integrated as:
- sleeve details
- back print
- coordinates
- badges
- patches
- tour-style graphics

3. Funny legendary stories:
Examples:
- “the bought rooster in Hamburg”
- “the biting dog”

These do NOT need literal illustrations but subtle references/easter eggs would be amazing.

4. Beer culture
Beer should absolutely be part of the identity.

5. University nostalgia
Potential references:
- HWZ Zürich
- old bar “Brötlistube Zürich” where it all started

(We are not sure if official logos can legally be used. Stylized references are okay.)

6. World Cup USA 2026 vibe
Subtle American sports influence is welcome.

DESIGN NOTES
We do NOT want:
- generic football templates
- cheap-looking print-on-demand aesthetics

Upwork Job Post: T-Shirt Design for Rock Climbing Gym

We’re looking for a designer to create a modern, wearable T-shirt design for a rock climbing gym. The goal is something people would actually want to wear outside the gym — not just typical merch for existing members.

Creative Direction

Modern, stylish, and wearable for a college-age / young adult audience
Earth tones and muted neutrals
Trend-forward design (not overly corporate or brand-heavy)
Something that feels cool and relevant, not basic gym merch

Design Concepts We’d Like Explored

Bold script or strong typography on the back featuring:
“Climb Higher, Live Inspired”
A sketched / illustrated version of the gym logo (more hand-drawn and artistic, not clean vector lines)
Designs that feel graphic-forward and interesting

What to Avoid

Anything that feels outdated, generic, or overly basic
Overused climbing visuals
No ropes or rappelling imagery
Avoid climber graphics unless it’s something very unique or unexpected

We’ll provide brand references and examples of styles we like.

If you have experience creating trend-forward apparel graphics, please include a few relevant samples in your proposal.

SUMMARY
I am hiring illustrators to create original artwork for a retro-style educational programming magazine built around my custom programming language, EduBASIC.

The artwork will follow a classic American storybook illustration style (1910s–1980s), similar to vintage children’s books, Classics Illustrated, and early educational software (MECC, Scholastic, The Learning Company).

This is a deliberate, non-modern style. Contemporary illustration trends are not a fit for this project.

STYLE
The target style is best described as:

* Semi-realistic (accurate proportions, no caricature)
* Narrative / storybook illustration
* Clear, readable compositions
* Strong silhouettes and simplified forms
* Controlled detail (no over-rendering)
* Limited shading (1–3 tones per surface)
* Clean, consistent linework (ink-style)
* Expressive but grounded in reality

The work should feel like mid-20th-century children’s illustration, not modern digital art.

WORKFLOW
* You provide initial sketches or concept thumbnails
* I review and provide feedback
* We iterate toward a finalized composition
* Final artwork is delivered after approval

Multiple illustrators may be hired. Ongoing work will be provided to those who consistently produce strong results and respond well to feedback.

CONTRACT TYPE
* Hourly only (no fixed-price work)
* Work is iterative, with regular review and refinement
* Emphasis on clarity, composition, and stylistic consistency

SCOPE
* Individual illustrations (not large-scale pieces)
* Moderate detail; clarity is more important than complexity
* Artwork should be readable and effective at reduced resolution

TECHNICAL CONTEXT (IMPORTANT)
Final artwork will be reinterpreted into programmatic graphics using primitive drawing commands.

This means:
* Artwork must translate well to 640×480 resolution
* Forms should be constructed clearly and simply
* Avoid fine detail, heavy texture, and soft gradients
* Shading should be representable as flat tones or simple hatching

Your work will be used as reference for reconstruction, not displayed directly in its original form.

MEDIUM
Traditional or digital workflows are both acceptable.

However:
* Digital work must mimic traditional illustration approaches
* Avoid modern rendering styles (heavy blending, photorealism, etc.)

REQUIREMENTS
* Strong drawing fundamentals (proportion, composition, perspective)
* Ability to work in a restrained, non-modern illustration style
* Ability to simplify forms without losing clarity
* Ability to iterate based on feedback
* Reliable communication

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
To be considered, include:

* Portfolio samples relevant to this style
* At least one example showing:
* simplified forms
* controlled shading
* clear composition
* Brief description of your process (sketch → refinement → final)

Proposals without relevant samples will not be considered.

ORIGINALITY AND PROCESS
All work must be original and created by you.

Use of AI-generated imagery (in whole or in part) is not permitted and will be treated as a violation of contract.

You should be able to:
* Provide sketches, drafts, or intermediate work upon request
* Demonstrate a consistent, human-driven creative process
* Make targeted revisions based on feedback

DELIVERABLES
* Final illustration (high resolution)
* Any intermediate sketches if requested
* Source file (PSD or equivalent preferred)
* Brief notes if any references were used

Precisamos criar um vídeo promocional moderno e dinâmico da máquina, com foco em uma estética bonita e boa iluminação. O vídeo deve incluir um efeito de “aparição” da máquina no quadro (via edição, movimento de câmera ou até uso de IA), além de utilizar diferentes recursos visuais e transições. É importante alternar planos (abertos, médios e close-ups), mostrar detalhes e o processo de preparo do café. O resultado deve parecer vivo, atual e visualmente atrativo.

3. Fotografias
• 2–3 horizontais (plano geral + lifestyle)
• 2–3 verticais (para redes sociais)
• close-ups (detalhes da máquina)
• fotos com e sem pessoa


📍 Locação 2 (segunda unidade):

• 1 vídeo curto
• 1 foto vertical com pessoa
• 1 foto vertical sem pessoa
• 1 foto horizontal com pessoa
• 1 foto horizontal sem pessoa

Link com referências:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OU6hbUQ_x8ANL6B6t5J7S2_EhDvu4i5i?usp=drive_link

É importante que as fotos transmitam vida e mostrem bem o contexto onde a máquina está instalada.

Fico à vontade para conversar sobre:
• sua abordagem/ideias
• valores
• e prazo de execução

A princípio, parece uma produção simples, mas queremos um resultado de qualidade 🙂

Obrigado!

Project Overview:
I need a skilled digital illustrator to create a pixel-perfect replication of a reference image I will attach. The final result must match the reference at 95-100% accuracy in style, colors, composition, and artistic feel. This is a style-matching and replication project — NOT a from-scratch creative design.

IMPORTANT — What I want and what I DON'T want from the reference:
✅ I WANT:

The world map itself (continents with the warm tan/caramel painted style)
The aged parchment/paper background with its vintage texture
The hand-drawn sailing ships scattered across the oceans (5-6 ships)
The dashed curved travel routes connecting points across oceans
The decorative compass rose in the bottom-left area
The character illustration (turbaned figure holding a sphere/globe) — I will specify placement
The decorative banner/ribbon with customizable name text
The small flag element — I will specify which flag

❌ I do NOT WANT:

The ornate carved wooden frame shown around the reference image
Any AI-generated output without proper hand-refinement


CRITICAL REQUIREMENT — Fully Layered PSD File:
This is the most important part of this project. The deliverable must be a fully layered Photoshop PSD file where every single element is on its own separate, editable layer. Specifically:

Background layer — the aged parchment/paper texture alone, with nothing on it
World map layers — each continent (or major landmass) must be on a separate layer:

North America — separate layer
South America — separate layer
Africa — separate layer
Europe — separate layer
Asia — separate layer
Australia/Oceania — separate layer
Antarctica (if included) — separate layer
Major islands/regions — separate layers where possible


Ships layers — each ship on its own separate layer (so I can move, hide, or duplicate individually)
Dashed travel routes layer — all dashed lines on their own layer (or grouped layers)
Compass rose layer — separate layer
Character illustration layer — the turbaned figure on its own layer
Banner/ribbon layer — separate layer (with editable text if possible)
Flag layer — separate layer
Name text layer — live editable text layer (not rasterized)

Nothing should be merged or flattened into the background or into the map. Every visual element must be independently editable and movable. Layer groups should be clearly named in English (e.g., "Ships", "Continents", "Character", "Banner").

Technical Specifications:

Final resolution: Minimum 4K (3840×2160 pixels), preferably 6000px on the longest side
Color profile: sRGB
Format: Layered PSD + high-quality flattened PNG export at 4K
Style: Vintage watercolor / hand-painted digital illustration (NOT flat vector, NOT pure AI output)


Deliverables:

Fully layered PSD file with all elements separated as described above
Flattened PNG export at 4K resolution
Transparent PNG of the character (isolated, no background)
Transparent PNG of the banner (isolated, no background)
Source files for any custom textures or brushes used (optional but appreciated)


To apply, please include:

2-3 portfolio samples of similar vintage-style illustrated maps, hand-painted maps, or watercolor illustrations. Applications without relevant samples will be ignored.
Confirmation that you can deliver a fully layered PSD as described (this is non-negotiable)
Your timeline (in days) and your proposed fixed price
Answer briefly: "What software will you use, and how will you approach separating the continents into layers?" (this helps me filter generic copy-paste proposals)


Budget: Flexible for the right artist — please propose your fair rate based on scope and your experience. Quality and proper layering matter far more than the lowest price.
Timeline: Ideally 5-10 days. Let me know what's realistic for you.
Milestones (preferred payment structure):

Milestone 1 (20%): Initial sketch/draft for style approval
Milestone 2 (40%): Base map + background + continents completed
Milestone 3 (40%): All additional elements (ships, compass, character, banner) + final layered PSD delivery

We are looking for an artist/illustrator who does not use ANY AI in their work to design a concert tour poster, event graphics for socials, and potentially designs for a deck of playing cards in art nouveau design style. Think Hungarian Folk, Alphonse Mucha-inspired, similar to modern-day Chuck Sperry designs. Florals, peacocks, mermaids/sirens, winged horses, hot air balloons, potentially stained glass. We will be able to provide a color palette and existing album artwork for further inspiration and direction.

Looking for a unique poster graphic for safety working at height. Will need to include specific instructions, which I'll provide, with a catchy design - something that a building engineer would want to hang up in their work room. Will need to have blank spots incorporated for business logo and contact information to be placed.

Open to various ideas on how best to make the poster unique and stand out while delivering the essential safety information.

Attached are some examples with flaws - too busy, not eye catching enough, or too many words to make it effective to provide information at-a-glance.

Hello

Looking for someone to help me craft a t-shirt design for a Master Mind Coaching Event

The theme for the merch will be Financial Freedom is your birth right

Do you feel like you can help us with this project?

We need a person to design our brand logo along with a sub logo of our AI Model. We are looking for someone who is an expert of logo designing and theme in every design.

Skills must to have:
Expert in Logo designing
Theme starter for designing

Experience:
Minimum of 1 or 2 years experience in Logo designing

Project Overview:
I am the Executive Director of a historical society, and we have developed a logo concept that needs to be professionally vectorized and refined for production use.

This is NOT a new logo design. I need a clean, accurate manual redraw.

What I need:

Manual vector redraw (no auto-tracing)

Preserve accurate mountain silhouette (Mt. Kineo cliff — very important)

Maintain a vintage engraving / historical aesthetic

Improve contrast and readability for print and apparel

Refine linework for scalability (small and large use)

Slightly thin outer border for balance

Deliverables:

SVG (primary vector file)

AI file (Adobe Illustrator)

PNG (transparent background)

PDF (print-ready)

Simplified version for small use

One-color version (for embroidery)

Important:
Accuracy matters. The mountain cliff shape must NOT be altered or rounded.

To apply, please include:

Example of detailed line work or engraving-style work

Confirmation that you will manually redraw (not auto-trace)
Start your proposal with the word ‘Moosehead’ so I know you read this.

• Can you describe your process for manually vectorizing a detailed illustration?

Sto cercando un artista per fare una striscia a fumetti con me. La sto scrivendo io e ho bisogno di un artista per realizzare l'arte, i testi e la colorazione. Allego una copia di una delle mie strisce. Questo non sarebbe un lavoro a ore ma 75 dollari a striscia. Verremmo pagati mensilmente da EdgarRiceBurroughs, Inc. Ho in programma di fare almeno 100 strisce, quindi ti terrebbe occupato per un po'. Per favore, fammi sapere se sei interessato.

I want a black and white, highly detailed, realistic illustration for the back of a hoodie. The style should feel rugged, emotional, and outdoors-focused almost like an engraved or etched drawing. This design should feel serious, meaningful, and not cartoonish at all.

The Scene is set in the mountains with detailed mountain range in the background. Pine Trees/forrest mid-ground. A hunting camp setup in the foreground.

The main subject: On the left side a soldier sitting in a camp chair in full military gear (helmet, vest, pack, etc.) posture should feel reflective/slightly hunched forward. looking down toward the fire.

the emotion should feel quiet, heavy, and reflective-not aggressive.

Center element: small campfire in front of the soldier. subtle smoke rising. adds warmth and focus point

Camp set up: a wall tent (canvas style hunting tent). Tent slightly open. In front of the tent an empty chair with an American flag folded or draped over the chair.

Additional details would be a bull elk skull leaning against the tent. antlers should be realistic and well shaped. not oversized or cartoonish.

I have an example of what chat gpt did and its ok but I want it done a little better.

Hi! I'm looking for a skilled graphic designer to create a high-quality sticker design that combines three emblems into a single cohesive composition, with a custom ultras/street culture aesthetic.

Project Details:
• The sticker will feature 3 emblems (I will provide references/logos)
• Style: ultras-inspired – bold, raw, with strong visual impact (think banners, tifo culture, street art vibes)
• The design should feel unified, not just three logos placed side by side
• I'm open to distressed textures, rough edges, gothic/old-school lettering or other ultras-typical elements

Deliverables:
• Final design in vector format (AI / SVG / PDF) – print-ready
• PNG with transparent background (high resolution, min. 300 DPI)
• Source file included

What I'm Looking For:
• Experience with logo/emblem design or sports/streetwear graphics
• Understanding of ultras, hooligan or fan culture aesthetics is a big plus
• Clean execution with strong typographic and compositional sense
• Ability to take feedback and iterate

Timeline: 1 day
Budget: Open to proposals – please include your rate and relevant portfolio samples

If you have experience with this type of gritty, culture-driven design, I'd love to see your work. Please attach relevant examples when applying.

I’m starting a streetwear brand and looking for a graphic designer who specializes in apparel design, specifically with a grunge / distressed aesthetic.

I want designs that feel:

* Raw, edgy, and slightly chaotic
* Vintage / worn-in / imperfect (not clean or corporate)
* Inspired by grunge, underground fashion, old concert merch and streetwear culture

Think along the lines of:

* Distressed textures
* Faded graphics
* Washed or cracked print styles
* Bold but not overly polished

This is for clothing (t-shirts, hoodies, etc.), so I need someone who understands:

* Print placement
* How designs translate onto garments
* File formats for production

Please include:

* Portfolio of similar work (especially apparel/streetwear)
* Experience with grunge or distressed design
* Ability to revise and collaborate

Budget is flexible
time frame extremely flexible

Hi! I’m launching a fast casual concept called La Barra (Dominican-style sandwiches & juices), and I’m looking for a designer to create a mascot/character for the brand.

The idea is to turn our “B” logo into a simple character with personality (modern, clean, slightly urban — not too cartoonish).

I want something that can be used for both social media and packaging (cups, bags, wrapping paper), so it should look good but also be practical.

**Project scope:**

* 1 main mascot design based on our logo
* 2–3 simple poses (e.g., walking, waving, holding a product)
* Final files in vector format (AI/SVG/PNG)

The budget is limited, but I’m open to long-term work if the result is good.

If you have similar work, I’d love to see it.

Best,
Jorge
