This project is to expand an existing icon set of music instrument, flags, and art & craft tools - particularly fiber arts. The already existing icons in the set have a very simple, clear defined retro style, and we need more instruments and arts topics to be represented in a matching way. Would likely start with a sample (paid) icon or two to ensure it's a good fit before going for the entire set of needed additional icons. May lead to additional illustration, branding, and graphic design needs. Ideal candidate would have knowledge and appreciation of musical instruments and craft making.

We are looking for a talented illustrator to design the visual identity of Solvia, the AI face of our platform Socialytica.net — a modern platform offering psychology-based relationship tests and emotional self-awareness tools.

About Solvia:
Solvia is our AI guide — not just a chatbot, but a personality.
She appears around age 35–40, radiating wisdom, warmth, and emotional intelligence. She’s calm, insightful, and supportive — like a therapist, coach, or mentor. Solvia helps users reflect on relationship dynamics and inner growth in a caring, human way.


Style Requirements:
Illustration Type: Static (no animation), full-body or half-body

Style: Clean and modern with subtle vintage influence (think warm tones, timeless lines, soft tech accents)

Mood: Calm, warm, emotionally intelligent - trustworthy!

Optional: Light tech details (subtle digital patterns, glowing lines), calm hand gesture (e.g. open palm)

Solvia should feel like a trusted guide from another era - a blend of analog soul and digital intelligence.

Future Work:
If the Solvia illustration meets our expectations, we plan to commission a full character set:

20 unique character types (e.g., The Leader, The Healer, The Explorer)

Each type will exist in 4 modes (Visionary, Pragmatist, Connector, Pioneer)

Modes should vary through small visual cues like accessories, posture, or facial expression — not full redesigns

Deliverables:
High-resolution illustration of Solvia in the agreed style
Editable source files (AI, PSD, or similar)
Commercial usage rights (for website and marketing)

Hi!

I already have a logo in high-resolution PDF format (see attachment), and I need a few very precise edits made to it.
This is not a full redesign – I just want to update and clean up some elements while keeping the original style and layout.
It's possible with you?

Logo and branding guide with colors and fonts needed for a new community building business. Project will include logo design for website and social media use. Will need it in color and black and white as well as for watermarking posts. There are three distinct branches of the business which ideally would have slightly different color schemes for differentiation but be cohesive to the overall business (this is a want more than need). Possible need for a podcast cover but will discuss this in next phase.

Thank you.

✨ Art Deco Illustrator Needed to Vectorize AI Images & Build Iconic Tarot-Inspired Brand Visuals

Hi, I’m Talia Serene—founder of a luxury silk clothing line rooted in self-expression, sensuality, and cinematic storytelling. I’m looking for a highly capable vector illustrator and brand design collaborator who can take my existing AI-generated image references and turn them into refined, fully editable, brand-aligned illustrations.

This is not a from-scratch conceptual job—I already know exactly what I want. Your job is to:

🔧 What You’ll Be Doing
• Take AI-generated illustrations I provide
• Vectorize them (manually or using a vector tool like Illustrator or Vectorizer.AI)
• Refine and personalize the artwork based on creative direction:
• Fix fonts, colors, card layout, and composition
• Adjust poses, body language, and facial expressions to match specific traits (e.g., “The Daring Rebel” must look fierce, powerful, and active—she’s kicking chains and breaking free)
• Customize styling details to reflect my brand identity (e.g., outfit = my product)
• Create a cohesive card system across multiple “tarot-style” character tags
• Make sure box design and thank-you cards align with the same brand language
• Help me refine and unify the visual identity of the entire printed experience (cards, tags, box, collateral)

🎯 What I’m Creating
• A set of character-based hand tags where each tag = a mini tarot card featuring my fashion muse wearing pieces from the collection
• The central woman is the mascot of the brand—she embodies different archetypes per card (The Daring Rebel, The Divine Femme, The Dreamy One, etc.), wearing pieces from the line in a fierce, stylized way
• Art style is: high-fashion, retro-futuristic, Art Deco x Vogue, bold and modern with nostalgic flair

🧠 Requirements
• Expert in Adobe Illustrator or similar vector software
• Comfortable editing and building upon AI-generated artwork
• Strong sense of fashion illustration, character design, and branding
• Able to follow specific art direction while still bringing your own creative polish
• Communicates well and checks in before doing major work (alignment first)

💫 Bonus (but not required)
• Experience designing packaging (thank-you cards, product boxes)
• Passion for fashion, spirituality, or storytelling through art

⸻

If this feels like your kind of project, please reach out with:
• Portfolio (especially anything with character design, fashion, or art deco flair)
• Your typical turnaround time per piece
• Rates (per card, per batch, or hourly if preferred)
• One sentence about what excites you about this project

Looking forward to seeing your work and bringing this vision to life.

Ps: I attached the image of the style of tarot I want to be designed! Also inspiration for the outside of the box

Warmly,
Talia Serene
Founder, SERYINITY (Seryinity.com)

Please see the other message I sent you. Take a look and we can chat.

We’re looking for a highly creative graphic designer with proven experience in creating original or artistically modified wall posters — especially in retro, pop-art, vaporwave, or expressive styles.

The project involves designing a series of unique poster artworks inspired by various musical artists (Arab and international). The final designs will be printed as canvas-style wall posters, so attention to detail, originality, and visual impact are key.

✅ Requirements:
• Proven experience designing wall or album-style posters
• Ability to create original art or modify stock/images creatively
• Strong sense of style, color, and layout
• Understanding of retro / pop / music-related aesthetics
• Portfolio required

🖼 Example:

We’re looking for a bold, creative, and culturally fluent graphic designer to create five cohesive T-shirt designs for our print-on-demand (POD) launch on platforms like Redbubble and TeePublic.

This collection is rooted in queer culture, pop aesthetic, and subversive commentary—think bold typography, meme sensibility, and queer empowerment with a splash of punk and surrealism. If your work blends irreverence, confidence, and visual punch, this gig is for you.

📦 Deliverables:
5 original POD-ready designs (high-res PNGs, 4500x5400 px, 300 DPI, transparent background)
Each piece must stand alone, but also feel part of a unified collection
Clean files for upload (no flattening or watermarks)

🔥 Project Style & Vision:
We already have a design to use as a creative anchor (will be shared upon contact), and we’ve included examples from portfolios we love—expect influences from:

Queer pride & gender non-conformity
Pop culture references with an edge
Viral meme energy meets art school irreverence

🧠 Ideal Candidate:
Has a strong visual voice and doesn’t shy away from bold themes
Comfortable with collage, expressive fonts, surreal pop, and glitch/graffiti styles
Understands visual trends in queer art, Gen Z humor, and niche internet aesthetics
Knows how to prep files for print-on-demand platforms

🤝 Work Relationship:
We’re looking for someone open to collaborative creative input, but with the confidence to lead the design. If things go well, we’ll likely commission additional batches of designs in the near future. We’re professional, friendly, and very clear about expectations and direction.

💰 Budget:
~$100 USD for 5 designs, but negotiable based on turnaround time, revisions, and complexity.

Let’s make something unapologetically queer, cool, and print-worthy together.

We are seeking a talented artist to create a series of physical paintings or sketches on canvas, featuring a man and a dog. The artwork should be done in acrylic, oil, or similar mediums, and the size of each piece should be minimum 50 cm by 50 cm. The ideal candidate will have experience in capturing emotions and relationships through their art. If you have a portfolio showcasing similar works, we would love to see it!

I would like to make a funny t-shirt for my boyfriend as a gag gift. I'd like to take the photo of him with the weedwacker and put him onto a lawn without all of the stuff behind him. And then also add in a grumpy photo of our weimaraner dog. With type saying "Get off our lawn"

It's all a joke and doesn't need to be super fancy, more of something funny.

It can be made to look like a sketch or an AI design, I just want to keep his face looking the same.

I need a super quick turnaround on this, hopefully by Friday or Saturday at the latest.

My motorcycle club is looking to do a Day of the Dead t-shirt and I saw you'd done some of this stuff before. We want to do it monochrome - dark-ish gray on a black tee to be very low key.

On the front we'd want our top rocker over a version of our mascot (Floyd) turned in to a Mexicanized skeleton head with our crossed hatchets somehow in the mix. This would be a small center chest logo under the collar.

On the back we want to have a bit more fun - skeleton Floyd with a large top rocker holding his hatchets but with motorcycles and other skeltons partying. We'd want a Triumph Bonneville, a Harley, and a BMW GS in the mix somehow.

We don't want the whole patch in any way - just the components - but I've attached it for context.

Something in your lane?

Thanks!
