[HIRING] Graphic Designer/Artist for Promo Materials in High Fantasy Series
POSITION FILLED
Hi there!
I am in search of an artist to specialize in graphic design and create promotional material for my book series, including things such as posters, website graphic designs, social media graphics, fun charts and graphs, logos, and more. This may include commercial commissions.
My name is Audra, and I'm the independent author and creator of a zodiac-based high fantasy world with over 100K followers on TikTok. I am readying to launch the first book to this much bigger series, The Age of Scorpius, a YA fantasy, in May. This is a project I've dedicated 10 years of my life to, a story I love so deeply, and a world that I spend every waking minute working on.
I currently have a team of 13 artists working behind the scenes to make this book possible—this is important, because if you accept a commission request from me, you must be willing to join a team and collaborate with other artists on this project! We have a Slack we work in with illustrators, concept artists, landscape artists, character artists, and more. You, as a graphic designer, will be relying on references and works of other artists. If you read this, please put the word "stars" in your reply somewhere; it is critical that you are aware of this requirement. I will not look at your portfolio if I do not see this in your response. I am looking for someone who shows dedication and interest to continually be involved in a larger collaborative project—the first sign for me is if you've taken the time to read this post.
That being said, your workload won't be too crazy! Don't expect a full-time position, but rather a "you can work however much you want" gig; I have some artists who are working on this project every day, and others who pick up a request once in awhile (I call out various art needs in our Slack). I have a flexible and high budget (PayPal) due to external funding of this project, and the large audience expected to give this series a promising debut. I'd be happy to pay anywhere from $50-$150 (or more) per graphic, depending on the complexity of the graphic, and I will fit to your rates if the graphic is to be used commercially.
Some themes you'll be working with may include:
Constellations, stars, cosmic and zodiac-themed motifsA consistent style to be developed in graphics to develop recognizable brandingSharp but elegant fantasy-themed graphicsHelping me to theme and develop a website
Please include examples of graphic design in the examples you send. Thank you, I look forward to seeing your portfolios!
