Illustrator with a Comic Twist? Design Our Playing Cards, Packaging & Web Assets

Are you a visual storyteller with a love for character design and branding? We’re looking for a designer who can bring a unique cartoon-style playing card deck to life—one that works beautifully both online and in physical print.

This is not your average design gig. You’ll be turning short stories and character concepts into collectible cards that feel like part of a comic universe—complete with packaging and web visuals that make the whole project shine.

What you'll be doing:
- Designing a full playing card deck (digital and print-ready)
- Turning provided texts into visual narratives for each individual card
- Using pre-developed cartoon characters as the foundation for your designs
- Applying a consistent brand identity (colors, fonts, style) across all visuals
- Creating packaging design for the physical product (box, inserts, etc.)
- Designing web graphics for online use (banners, mockups, hero images, etc.)
- Delivering files suitable for both web and print (300dpi, CMYK, with bleed)
- AI tools may be used to assist your process, as long as the end result meets our visual quality standards

Who we're looking for:
- You’re skilled in cartoon or comic-style illustration
- You can take a simple text prompt and turn it into a compelling visual story
- You’ve got experience with product packaging and preparing print files
- You understand brand consistency and can design within set visual guidelines
- You know how to create clean, impactful web graphics
- You’re reliable, efficient, and thrive under pressure—this full project must be delivered by May 13st, 2025

What you’ll get:
- $15 USD per approved card
- A fun, character-driven project that blends creativity with storytelling
- Full flexibility: work when and where you want, as long as deadlines are met
- Creative ownership—within the structure of the brand and character designs
