Hello everyone! I am looking for an illustrator to collaborate on the design of a children's themed YouTube channel.
Brief for the banner. I would like to take the reference as a basis for style and mood, but at the same time create my own composition. If the illustrator has ideas on how to make the banner better or more interesting, I am all for it.
Graphic elements. I would like to keep the following elements from the reference on the banner: trees rainbow bushes flowers basket with apples mountains clouds
All these elements need to be preserved, but they can be redrawn in their own way, changing their shape and positioning them differently than in the reference. Here, the illustrator can rely on their vision and how the overall composition will look best.
A separate wish is that everything should look "alive" and not give the impression of copy-pasting. For example, the trees should differ slightly from each other, the flowers should be different, and the bushes and clouds should also have their own characteristics. It is not necessary to make each element completely unique, but I would like to avoid obvious repetition of identical objects.
Characters The banner should feature four characters: green red pig sheep The main characters are red and green, so it is important that they are clearly visible and in the foreground, rather than getting lost at the edges or in the background.
Their positioning and poses can be changed at the illustrator's discretion if it makes the composition look more interesting and harmonious. For example, the green character does not necessarily have to be on the left, as in the reference.
The emotions of the characters need to be changed. I have attached approximate options to the brief separately — you can rely on them or suggest your own if they fit the overall composition better.
At the same time, it is important to maintain the recognizable appearance of the characters.
Colors I would like to keep the same bright, saturated, and positive mood as in the reference, but the shades of surrounding elements can be changed. I leave the specific selection of shades to the illustrator's discretion.
At the same time, the red and green characters must remain in their signature colors, as this is an important part of their image and recognizability. You can work with shadows, light, and shades within these colors, but overall the red character should remain red, and the green should remain green.
Title Instead of the inscription MaizenMine from the reference, another title should be placed — Block-Shock.
I would like the title to be clearly visible and at the same time fit organically into the overall composition of the banner.
For the text design, you can refer to the reference, but it is not necessary to repeat it exactly. If the illustrator has an idea on how to make the title more interesting and better fit into the composition, that is welcome.Technical requirements Banner size: 2560 × 1440 px.
All important elements should be placed in the center, within the safe zone of 1546 × 423 px, so that they are displayed correctly on different devices and are not cut off.
In the safe zone, the following must be clearly readable: title Block-Shock red character green character
pig At the same time, it is desirable that important parts of the faces and bodies of the main characters do not go beyond the safe zone.
Brief for the avatar I would also like to take the attached reference as a basis.
The avatar should be made in the same style as the banner, so that together they look like a unified design for the channel.
Characters and composition
The avatar should feature the two main characters — red and green.
It is important to maintain their recognizable appearance and signature colors.
The characters should be depicted large enough so that their faces and emotions are clearly readable even at a small avatar size.
You can refer to the reference, but the positioning of the characters, their poses, emotions, and interactions can be changed at the illustrator's discretion if it makes the composition look more harmonious and interesting.
I would like the characters to look lively and emotional, interact well with each other, and both remain noticeable in the composition.
Background and details I like the background in blue, but you can experiment with the shade if it looks better.
You can also add small decorative elements, as in the reference — for example, stars, sparks, an exclamation mark, or other similar details, if they fit well into the composition.
Technical part It is important that all key elements, especially the faces and emotions of the characters, are closer to the center and are not cut off when displayed in a round format.
The avatar should be prepared in a square format of 800x800 px.
