Logo design
Looking for someone who can design a simple,yet corporate looking logo for our Yorkshire Curry Association (YCA) The organisation is a not for profit, representing the Yorkshire region's curry industry (UK based) So it needs to tell the story of food in terms of curry and be dynamic in terms of being the authority organisation representing restaurants who serve this style of food in the region. If you can include the Yorkshire logo that would be good, but if not and can make something simple, authorative and can be used as a quality, like Michelin, then that would be great. Have uploaded some simply mockups, but these are just thoughts and not concrete, so happy for you to think of ideas. Simple colours, such as green yellow, reds and earthy browns would probably work well for our overall look. Looking for a fast turnaround, so only apply if available.
I need a front cover designed
I seek a graphic artist to design a draft front cover of my forthcoming novel titled 'Crossing the Line'. The conceptual illustration should feature a depiction of narcotic substance formed into the shape of a crucifix being snorted through a £20 note. Rather than pure white, the cocaine should be coloured the faintest hue of green. If possible, crucifix of cocaine might include an representation of a human on the cross, though this should not be obvious. Placement of the title and author name is adaptable contingent upon the illustrator's visual interpretation. Primary objectives for the realistic drawing is to encompass shaping the cocaine not as a line but as a solitary cruciform structure. Secondary goals include matching the pale tint of the narcotic with the word 'Line' in the title if attainable through the artist's skill. Tertiary aims have the contour of a body vaguely perceptible upon close inspection within the composition. Reference photographs are provided to initiate ideas yet creative liberty in crafting the cover's appearance is afforded. Skill in graphic design coupled with expertise in realistic illustration are prerequisite. Interested artists may consider this opportunity to design an arresting book cover for my forthcoming publication exploring morally ambiguous themes. Compensation will be commensurate with experience and quality of work. Timescale is immediate please.

Wordpress Website design -with interactive maps
I have a wordpress site I need to add to. I need to create a trading platform for a new market which opens in England next month called Biodiversity Net Gain. When you build a house in England you need to buy "units" of biodiversity if you can't create new biodiversity when you build your new house. On the front page I need the following 4 questions: 1) A person needs to create an account with name, email address login 2) To obtain a price to buy or sell a unit, the member needs to click on a drop down box that will have 13 items. I will put a price in for each item myself. 3) The person need to select a Local Authority in England. There are 317 so we need to type in and the box will detect which authority. This will be optional. You have to buy more units if you are in certain areas. Alternatively the person could click on a map (see attached google map of all England's Local Authorities. 4) The person is asked to enter another area called NCA. There are 159 so we need to type in and the box will detect which NCA. This will be optional. The result will then bring up two boxes with a price in it based on (2) above which I will set in advance. Depending on the entry to (3) and (4) above, a note will say they need to buy 33% or 100% more BNG units as they are outside of the area. I need to be able to regularly change which Local Authorities need extra units. I would also like to have a map of England where people can zoom in draw their site boundary and submit with an email address so I can check the information is correct for 3 and 4 above. Please can you quote for creating the above on one page on wordpress.

Short animation: Magical/Witchy 'snowing' Christmas tree bauble
I am an author of magical/witchy books and I often have really vivid visuals in my head which I'd love to see created to post on social media to help promote the books. I can explain more about the aesthetic but I'm looking for a very short, looping video of a clear Christmas tree bauble and inside it is snowing. I want it to look realistic rather than illustrated, but with a magical/ethereal vibe. If you think you could do this please get in touch! Thanks, Cari
I need character artwork for D&D campaign final
Hi there :) I run a homebrew D&D campaign in a Norse environment. I have 6 players. The campaign started with them all as children and over the last year the characters have aged up 10-ish years with every level and they are now 70-90 years old. I would like to gift them all; for the campaign finale in March, an a5 framed portrait of their character when they started holding hands/being watched over etc by their current old character. I think it's a creative and meaningful gift that celebrates their journey from start to finish. Please quote a project price for all 6 unique pieces as affordably as possible. (I just need the artwork sized for an A5 frame, I'll print out and frame them.) I'll include one of the descriptions my players have sent in as an example of the kind of brief you'll get: Player: James Young Character: Glynne Sibilla Emerging from the dark catacombs of the temple of the fates comes Glynne Sibilla; a twelve year old human boy. His mousey blond hair is dusted with ash and matted around particles of rubble. His face, still round with persisting baby fat has a fair complexion which has also been coated with a thick layer of grime and soot. He steps out into the rubble of Talim with bare feet, as he didn't have time to put on shoes before being whisked away to the temple crypt by his guardians in his simple grey wool pyjamas. His head is ever so slightly too big for his body, something he would grow into later he hoped... If there was a later. Old Character: Pollo Gracie In the slums of Talim lives a man who has been described as a local oddity, and even then only by his friends. Pollo Gracie is a Tabaxi, a humanoid bearing a striking resemblance to a house cat. It is not recommended you make this comparison around the man himself. When not adventuring he roams around town in his signature knee length red duster jacket, a coat he has owned for near 70 years and it shows in the beaten and scratched leather. Once polished gold embellishments are missing, scuffed or dented from years of disinterested neglect. Under the coat he wears practical leather garb that is equally worn out save for the shoes which have been kept in pristine condition by virtue of being replaced whenever a whole inevitably gets punched in the sole. Completing the ensemble is a battered red hat, wide brimmed, snapped up on one side and a pair of perfectly round silver spectacles. His fur is grey and black though showing more and more white on the ends as the years advance. His eyes are a bright yellow with slit pupils (do not say like a cat) and he sports a fashionable (for 50 years ago) lengthy white moustache. Aside from his fur he does have a head of thinning white hair which he wears long and gathers into a ponytail. The Talim Travel Guide describes him as 'a man obsessed with his own self image but clearly unconcerned with maintaining it', for which the author, Booger Gary, earned a clip around the ear and a dock in hourly pay.
