Graphic Designer & Character Animator for Children’s Brand

I'm building a new children’s entertainment and family leisure brand centred around an original cast of characters and their rainforest world. I’m looking for a talented character illustrator and/or animator who wants to become part of the project over the long term. This is not a one off illustration job. The ambition is to build a recognisable children’s brand spanning physical venues, social media, animation, stories, books, merchandise, websites, marketing, packaging and more. What already exists The brand direction and two principal characters are established, alongside a developing supporting cast and fictional rainforest world. I have a detailed brand playbook, character concepts, visual references, colour palettes, environments and substantial concept work. I need someone who can take what exists, refine it professionally, standardise it and help develop it into a consistent visual IP. This is NOT an AI generation job I already use generative AI extensively for ideation, concepts and experimentation. I am not looking for someone simply to type prompts into Midjourney, Firefly, ChatGPT or similar tools. I can already do that myself. AI can form part of your workflow, but you must bring skills beyond AI generation. You should be able to genuinely draw, design, illustrate and/or animate, and understand character construction, proportions, expressions, posing, consistency, composition, colour and visual storytelling. For animation, I need someone who understands movement, acting, timing and character performance, not simply how to make an AI image move. The work Projects could include character model sheets and turnarounds, expression and pose libraries, illustrations, social content, short animations, story illustrations, environments, marketing materials, signage, website assets, merchandise and packaging. The work will vary considerably. One project could be a polished jungle illustration; another a 15 second animation, social assets, new character expressions or merchandise artwork. Visual standard The broad visual territory is: Premium children’s picture book × modern animation × magical rainforest. The characters are expressive, dimensional and warm, with textured fur, strong silhouettes and expressive eyes. Premium, but not photorealistic. I don't want stock illustration, generic mascot design, clip art or generic children's jungle artwork. Some applications will require highly polished hero artwork. Others need simpler, reproducible versions of the characters. Everything still needs to belong to the same visual world. Character consistency is critical The characters cannot look different every time they are drawn. Proportions, anatomy, markings, colours and defining features need to remain consistent. We need proper reference material covering turnarounds, proportions, expressions, poses, movement and silhouettes. The aim is to turn the existing concepts into professionally designed, reproducible characters rather than a collection of generated images. Who I'm looking for Experience in children’s entertainment, character illustration, animation, picture books, games, mascots or entertainment IP would be particularly relevant. You don't need to do everything. An excellent illustrator who can animate would be ideal, but I'm also interested in exceptional specialists. You should understand character consistency and visual storytelling, work confidently from an established creative direction, contribute creatively, provide editable/source files and communicate reliably. Most importantly, I’m looking for someone interested in building something over time, not producing a few illustrations and disappearing. There is potential for ongoing work across illustration, animation, stories, digital content, marketing, merchandise, print and physical environments. For the right person, I want this to become a long term creative relationship. Eventually, you should know the characters well enough to recognise when something simply “doesn't look like them”. When applying Please don't send a generic copy and paste proposal. Start your response with “THE CANOPY” so I know you've read the brief. Show me your strongest relevant character/animation work and explain what you personally created. Tell me what software you use, whether you illustrate from scratch, how you maintain character consistency, your animation capabilities, availability and normal rate. If AI forms part of your workflow, explain how. I’m interested in what you bring that I cannot get by generating another AI image myself. Final work must include appropriate editable/source files, with commercial usage and IP arrangements agreed before work begins. The initial project will use existing visual material. The objective isn't to redesign the characters. It's to demonstrate that you can understand them, reproduce them consistently, refine them professionally and make them feel alive.

Shopify E-commerce Growth & Customer Acquisition – 30-Day Trial

O.B Joel Creative Press is a UK independent children's publisher with an established Shopify store. We are looking for an experienced e-commerce growth marketer for an initial 30-day paid trial. We already have a social media manager, so this role is not for routine social media posting or content creation. We need someone focused on measurable customer acquisition, conversion and e-commerce performance. The initial priorities are: • Review our Shopify customer journey and identify conversion opportunities • Review GA4/tracking and establish a clear performance baseline • Assess our current acquisition channels and recommend where limited budget should be focused • Improve conversion from existing website traffic • Advise on Meta/Instagram paid campaigns where commercially justified • Help develop acquisition campaigns around key products, seasonal opportunities and pop-up events • Work alongside our existing social media manager rather than duplicate their role • Provide simple reporting showing actions taken, results and next steps We have already completed a detailed website/SEO review and have a 90-day growth plan, which will be attached to this project. We are therefore looking primarily for someone who can execute and improve the plan, rather than produce another strategy presentation. Initial budget: £80–£100 for a 30-day trial. If the trial demonstrates good communication, timely execution and measurable progress, there is potential for further project-based work. When responding, please tell us: Your experience growing small Shopify/e-commerce businesses Your experience with GA4 and Meta advertising What you would prioritise in the first 30 days What you believe can realistically be delivered within the £80–£100 initial budget One example of a measurable e-commerce result you have achieved for a client Please note that we value implementation and measurable outcomes over lengthy strategy documents.

We are looking for one experienced UK-based freelancer — not an agency — to take ownership of Meta/Facebook/Instagram lead generation. We already have a strong website and a large library of professional project photography and video. We do not want to create the adverts ourselves.

This project is specifically about using paid Meta/Instagram advertising to generate a relatively small number of high-quality private-client opportunities.

Entry-Level Talent Sourcing Specialist

I’m looking for someone who knows how to uncover great entry-level talent and fill the top of my hiring funnel quickly. Your core focus will be sourcing not interviewing or onboarding so you should feel at home running searches, crafting outreach messages, and building shortlists. Here’s what I need from you: • Source qualified entry-level candidates using LinkedIn, major job boards, and the relevant social media channels that attract fresh graduates or early-career professionals. • Track each lead, keep notes on status, and flag promising profiles for me to review. • Provide a concise weekly report outlining the number of prospects contacted, responses received, and recommendations for improving reach. I’ll handle the interviews and subsequent onboarding steps once your pipeline is delivered, I simply need a steady stream of interested, pre-screened applicants who meet the basic requirements I will share after kickoff.

AI animator to bring storyboards to life for an animated series

I am making an animated web series and I need someone to turn finished storyboard frames into moving shots using AI video tools. THE WORK Every scene is storyboarded shot for shot and the imagery is already final. You take those stills and the recorded dialogue, animate each shot with tools like Veo 3 or Grok, tidy the lip sync against the audio as far as the tools allow, and flag any line where the performance will not hold up so I can get it redubbed. You send the scene back to me as a draft. HOW WE WORK Everything lives in Dropbox. You pull the scene folder and drop your renders back in the same place. I cut in Premiere Pro and the rest of the Adobe suite, so I want clean MP4s per shot or per scene at the frame rate and resolution in the folder, with no titles or effects burnt in. THE SCALE The series runs to six or seven hours of finished content, so this is months of work and thousands of pounds over the run. It is an independent production on a tight budget and I am not going to pretend otherwise. What comes with it is a proper credit, a steady body of work and a show that is genuinely creative rather than corporate filler. THE MONEY The hourly rate on this post is a placeholder. In practice we agree a fixed budget for each piece of work once we are talking, so you always know what you are being paid for a batch before you start it. HOW IT GOES 1. A video call, so we can talk it through properly. 2. A short test: an MP4 with still frames in it, which you send back with those frames animated. 3. If that lands, we agree a price for a batch of scenes and get going. WHEN YOU APPLY, TELL ME AI animation you have done from someone else's stills, ideally with dialogue. Which tools you pay for and can use right now. How long one finished minute takes you, and your rate. How you keep a character and a look consistent across shots. I am not looking for showreel flash. I am looking for someone who can hit the board, stay consistent and turn work around steadily.

AI VIDEO CREATOR REQUIRED FOR VIDEOS

AI Animated Video Creator – British Crime History Project Project Type: Freelance / potential ongoing work Content: British crime history, historical murders & unsolved cases Video Length: Approximately 5–10 minutes About the Project I am looking for a talented AI video creator/animator to produce a series of documentary-style animated videos covering historical British crime cases, including unsolved murders. This is currently a private educational project. I will provide the case research, important facts, names, locations and overall direction. Visual Style I am particularly interested in cinematic cartoon/animation or graphic-novel-style visuals. The animation should feel mature and atmospheric rather than like children’s animation. Think: * Dark British streets and estates * Period-accurate cars, clothing and locations * Cinematic lighting and camera angles * Consistent recurring character designs * Graphic-novel / illustrated documentary aesthetic * Atmospheric scenes and establishing shots * Tasteful reconstructed crime scenes * Maps, newspaper-style graphics, dates and timelines The creator should be capable of keeping characters visually consistent throughout a video. Complete Video Production Each finished video should ideally include: * Script development from my research * AI-generated animation/visuals * Professional narration * Sound effects and atmospheric music * Editing and transitions * Titles and captions * Maps/timelines where relevant * Final 1080p or 4K video The storytelling should clearly distinguish established facts from allegations, theories and dramatised reconstruction. Confidentiality All case selections, research, scripts, creative concepts and materials supplied by me are confidential. They must not be copied, published, shared, repurposed or used to create competing content without my written permission. Any commissioned video and original creative assets produced specifically for the project should be supplied to me upon completion, with commercial usage rights agreed before work begins. When Applying Please send examples of your previous AI animation/video work and tell me: * What AI tools you use * Your price for a completed 5–10 minute video * Your turnaround time * Whether you can maintain consistent characters * Whether narration and sound design are included * Whether you can work from research/notes supplied by me There is potential for regular ongoing work if the first video meets the required standard.

Logo Redesign & Vectorisation for Trademark Compliance

I need a highly efficient vector graphic designer to redesign an existing logo concept for a high-potential startup app. The final logo must be optimized for global marketability, scalable for app store icons, and built from scratch as unique vector geometry to clear intellectual property and international trademark registration checks. Design Context & Requirements: Icon Re-drawing - I want the exact structural composition, geometric alignment, and layout of the attached logo icon preserved. However, it must be completely recreated from the ground up as a fresh, clean vector asset— no auto-tracing or copying existing brand lines. Typography Update - Modify the wordmark from lowercase "thresh" to start with a Capital T ("Thresh"). Font Integrity: You must retain the clean, modern sans-serif visual weight of the original typeface. If you need to use a legally clear, commercially licensed, or modified alternative font that looks almost identical to pass strict trademark checks, that is perfectly acceptable. Specific Color Mapping: Primary Branding Color (Hex code will be provided) - Applied to the main wordmark text and the majority of the icon shape to establish a dominant, cohesive visual identity. Secondary Monochromatic Shades (Hex codes will be provided) - Used to ground the typography and anchor key geometric elements, creating strong contrast and sharp definition against varying backgrounds. Tonal Variations (Hex codes will be provided) - Handled as a precise gradient or supportive accents within the icon's structure to give the geometric shape modern depth and dimension. Accent Brand Color (Hex code will be provided) - Reserved for a select focal element within the icon to draw the eye directly to its core functionality. Required Deliverables: Clean, print-ready, fully scalable Master Vector Files (AI, EPS, and SVG). High-resolution transparent PNG file optimized for mobile app interface mockups. Confirmation that zero unmodified stock graphics or templates were used. Note: Please start your application with the word "GLOBAL" to confirm you have read this entire creative brief. Because this is an initial rollout phase, budget efficiency is a constraint—please bid your best, competitive fixed rate for this clean-up project.

Business Development Marketer for new Enterprise Software

I’m looking for an experienced B2B business developer / direct marketer to help introduce SALIENT, a new enterprise intelligence platform, to branded companies across multiple sectors. SALIENT is designed to go beyond conventional AI assistance — helping companies understand problems, develop ideas, challenge assumptions, explore product opportunities and build deeper creative and commercial intelligence around their business. We are now looking for companies willing to engage with and test an early SALIENT pilot. I need someone who can identify the right decision-makers, approach companies directly and start intelligent conversations with people in innovation, product development, R&D, strategy, marketing and emerging technology. This is not a high-volume lead-generation role. I’m looking for someone experienced, articulate and entrepreneurial who can understand an unfamiliar proposition, become enthusiastic about it and communicate that excitement convincingly. You should have experience opening doors through direct outreach, LinkedIn, email, telephone or your own network — ideally into recognised brands or technology-led businesses. The engagement will initially be 1–2 days per week on an hourly basis. SALIENT is founder-funded, so I’m building the commercial activity carefully at this stage, but I’m looking for quality rather than the lowest rate. There is clear scope for the role to grow if the pilot programme gains traction. If this sounds interesting, please tell me briefly: What types of companies and senior decision-makers you have approached Your experience generating new B2B conversations Why SALIENT interests you I’m particularly interested in hearing from someone who reads this and immediately thinks: “I know companies that should see this.” Part-time | 1–2 days per week | Hourly | Remote New Icons Innovation Foundry™ | Patrick Astwood, Founder

Your turnaround time. Confirm that you can work from the creative direction above and use supplied MANWRD UI/assets. Tell me briefly how you would approach the first 2 seconds.

Freelance Motion Designer — Abstract Animation

1-minute sample, followed by 8 videos of approximately 5 minutes each About the project We’re looking for an experienced motion designer to create a series of highly abstract, visually sophisticated animated videos, built around supplied voiceovers. The project starts with a one-minute sample to establish the visual direction and animation quality. Once the sample is approved, you will produce eight full-length videos, approximately five minutes each. We’re looking for the precision, restraint, and polish associated with premium Apple or Meta motion design—but with an original visual language. Creative direction Very abstract. Minimal. Crisp. Beautifully animated. Rather than showing literal objects or illustrating the narration word for word, use movement, shape, light, texture, and composition to communicate ideas. The visuals might include flowing ribbons, transforming geometric forms, translucent layers, shifting patterns, fluid connections, or carefully controlled particles. These are starting points, not a prescribed style—we’re looking for someone who can bring a distinctive creative approach. Do not use paintings, framed artworks, photographs, characters, literal scenes, or stock-footage montages. Avoid generic explainer icons, dashboard-style interfaces, and template-driven animation. The animation should feel intentional and cohesive, with sharp details, considered lighting, smooth transitions, and confident use of negative space. Typography can be used sparingly, but the piece should be driven primarily by abstract motion rather than text on screen. Abstract should not mean random: changes in rhythm, form, scale, and connection should support the ideas and emotional progression of the voiceover. Project structure Phase 1: One-minute sample Create a fully animated 60-second sample, using supplied narration. This is not just a storyboard, a set of still images, or a slideshow. It should demonstrate the proposed visual language, animation quality, pacing, transitions, and synchronization with the voiceover. We will agree on a concept and a small selection of style frames before you animate the sample. The approved sample will establish the design and quality standard for the full series. Phase 2: Eight five-minute videos Following sample approval, produce eight videos of approximately five minutes each—around 40 minutes of finished animation in total. The series should feel visually consistent while introducing enough variation to keep each video engaging. We need someone who can sustain a strong abstract visual language across longer sequences, rather than repeating a short loop or stretching a few ideas. Audio and materials We will provide the scripts, voiceovers, and available reference material. Keep the supplied voiceovers unchanged. Do not rewrite, rerecord, replace, speed up, or retime the narration. Build the visual pacing around the existing delivery. Any additional music or sound design should be agreed upon before use. Deliverables Provide the completed one-minute sample and, following approval, all eight full-length videos. Final delivery should include high-quality 16:9 MP4 exports at a minimum of 1920 × 1080, plus organized, editable project files and associated assets. Please identify any third-party assets, licensing requirements, or generative tools used. Final work must be suitable for commercial use. Who we’re looking for You should have a strong portfolio in abstract motion design, experimental animation, premium technology films, or design-led 2D/3D work. Excellent composition, timing, transitions, and attention to detail are essential. We’re particularly interested in designers who can develop an original visual system and carry it through a substantial series. After Effects, Cinema 4D, Blender, Houdini, or an equivalent professional workflow are welcome. To apply Please send 2–3 relevant examples of abstract animation, clearly stating your role in each, and a brief description of your proposed approach. Include separate pricing for the one-minute sample and the eight five-minute videos, along with your availability, estimated production schedule, revision allowance, and source-file handover details. We’re looking for a creative partner for the full series—not just a one-off sample.

FlashFab removes this process. Customers can: 1. Upload a hand-drawn sketch – FlashFab automatically detects it and converts it into a clean digital profile. OR 2. Draw the flashing themselves directly online – no sketch required. They then choose material/thickness, finish, colour and quantity, receive an online price and order. The advert should make a roofer think: "That's clever." "That would save me hours." "I want to try it." STORYBOARD SCENE 1 – PROBLEM / HOOK (0–4 sec) Show the frustrating traditional process: rough sketches, emails/messages, amended dimensions, waiting for quotes. Main message: "FED UP WITH THE BACK & FORTH?" Quick references to: SKETCHES. DIMENSIONS. CHANGES. QUOTES. Then: "THERE'S A BETTER WAY." Introduce FlashFab. SCENE 2 – WOW MOMENT (4–11 sec) This is the most important section. Show a REAL rough hand-drawn flashing sketch being uploaded to the REAL FlashFab website. Show FlashFab automatically detecting it and transforming it into a clean digital flashing profile: ROUGH SKETCH → DIGITAL PROFILE We want this transformation to be visually impressive. Then: "NO SKETCH? NO PROBLEM." Show the alternative – drawing a flashing directly within FlashFab from scratch. The message: UPLOAD YOUR SKETCH OR DRAW IT YOURSELF Then quickly show: Material → Thickness → Finish → Colour → Price → Order Online We will provide real FlashFab screen recordings. Please do NOT create a fake interface. SCENE 3 – BENEFIT (11–14 sec) Large, clean message: "SAVE HOURS." Supporting text: "No back & forth. No waiting for quotes." If possible, show the digital profile transitioning into the finished manufactured flashing: SKETCH → DIGITAL PROFILE → FINISHED PRODUCT SCENE 4 – CTA (14–17 sec) "TRY IT TODAY." flashfab.co.uk SCENE 5 – ENDING (17–20 sec) Black/dark screen. Animate the genuine FlashFab logo, followed by our slogan: "FROM PROFILE TO PRODUCTION." CREATIVE STYLE This should feel like a premium technology/SaaS product advert, NOT a traditional construction advert. Modern, slick, clean, technology-led and fast-paced. Think premium product launch/software demonstration. Avoid generic builders, cheesy stock footage, AI people, excessive text, cheap transitions or fake website interfaces. The FlashFab technology is the hero. BRAND COLOURS Red: #E3211B Near Black: #15171B White: #FFFFFF Light Grey: #F4F6F8 Use black/white predominantly with controlled red accents. MUSIC/SOUND Modern premium electronic/industrial soundtrack. Punchy but not cheesy. Use subtle sound design for uploading, detecting the sketch, profile transformation, selections and price appearing. The SKETCH → DIGITAL PROFILE transformation should have a particularly satisfying visual/audio moment. ASSETS PROVIDED We can provide: - Logo - Hand-drawn sketch - Real website screen recordings - Digital profile - Product renders/photos - Customer review if required DELIVERABLES Main: 9:16 / 1080x1920 for Instagram/Facebook Reels. Ideally also 4:5 Meta feed version. We would also like alternative versions of the first few seconds so we can test different hooks, such as: "FED UP WITH THE BACK & FORTH?" "STILL SENDING SKETCHES TO YOUR FABRICATOR?" "ROOFERS – THERE'S NOW A BETTER WAY." Please send examples of premium product-demo/SaaS/motion-graphics work you have previously produced. We are particularly interested in how you would execute the SKETCH → DIGITAL PROFILE transformation.
