Make the design of the stick under the smoke

Project description: Task: A stylish, strict, and premium banner (header) is required for a men's gift brand YouTube channel. The theme is rugged: handmade knives, axes, leather goods, and other "characterful" products. What needs to be done specifically: Develop a banner design for the YouTube channel in a strict commercial style. The design should emphasize masculinity and high quality of the products (textures of metal, wood, leather, quality work with light). Adapt the banner for all types of devices (so it displays correctly on PCs, smartphones, and TVs according to YouTube standards). Important requirements: No gaming or children's style (designs in the style of anime, Minecraft, Roblox are out). A solid design for a commercial brand is needed. Deadline for completion: 2–3 days. Please attach examples of your best banners or graphic works in a similar theme to your response. The project budget is 1500 UAH.

I need to make some final adjustments to my website and set up SEO. Here is the link: https://nexivocore.netlify.app/

Main idea: The logo must be original and unique; stylized bee; wings should be bee-like (not resembling butterfly wings); the letter "M" integrated into the body or wings of the bee as an element of the trademark; light magical accent (glow or a few sparkles); flower as a symbol of nature; honey drop; minimalist premium style; the logo should look good both in small size and on large signs. Colors: honey gold; dark brown; cream; dark green (if needed as an additional color). Need to prepare: main logo; icon without text; circular version for avatar; horizontal and vertical versions; color version; black and white version; inverse (white logo on a black background). Final files: AI; SVG; EPS; PDF; PNG (transparent background 4000–5000 px); JPG. Additionally: Before handing over the work, please ensure that the logo is not a copy of existing marks and is suitable for further trademark registration. The brand "Bee Magic" produces natural honey, beeswax candles, gift sets, natural cosmetics, and other beekeeping products. The logo should convey naturalness, trust, warmth, femininity, and high quality.

I need a designer with a good portfolio and experience in graphic design, proficient in professional tools, styles, standards, etc. Under my guidance, we need to develop a group of banners and slides consisting of 3 subgroups. Each group should be executed in its own style. However, all three groups must be in one palette (with color inversion for different groups) - and should look like one design system. (1) We will start by creating prototypes for all three "lines" (3 prototypes), refining and approving them. (2) Next, we will develop and approve the design for an example image for one line. We will create at least 3 identical ones, and then for this line. (3) The next step is to develop the design for an example from the second group. After that - the 2nd and 3rd examples for this group. (4) The same goes for the third group. (5) After that, we will produce all other images and slides. But this will be easier, as a design system will be established for repetition in new images. Overall, this project involves creating about 90 different images, although we actually need to create the first 3 for scaling to other themes. Before starting work, I will provide references and colors, as well as some "sketches" that were "creatively generated" by AI. Please evaluate only the first (1) stage of work — namely prototyping (two covers + a presentation slide in infographic format). The project also involves video calls between me and the performer, including screen demos, etc. Therefore, please do not waste your and my time if this does not suit you. Thank you for your attention — and good luck with your wonderful projects!

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.
