Elite Product Graphic Designer + Short-Form Video Specialist

We are looking for an elite-level graphic designer who can create ultra-realistic, high-impact product visuals and convert them into high-engagement short-form videos. This work is used in high-visibility digital promotions, where visual quality directly impacts performance. Realism, depth, polish, and commercial awareness are non-negotiable. This is not template work and not AI-only output. ⸻ SCOPE OF WORK 1. Product-Based Promotional Graphics • Create 30 high-end promotional graphics within a defined timeframe • Products are real, physical items • Work will involve: • Sourcing or working from real product imagery • Compositing multiple assets • Enhancing lighting, depth, shadows, and reflections • Making products feel premium, dimensional, and desirable Goal: To create visuals that look better than official manufacturer imagery, while remaining 100% believable. ⸻ 2. Short-Form Video Versions • Convert selected graphics into: • Short looping videos • Vertical social formats • Subtle motion only (camera movement, light sweeps, text reveals) • Designed to stop scrolling and drive action ⸻ CRITICAL REQUIREMENT – REALISM AI tools may be used as part of the workflow, but: ❗ Final output must NOT look AI-generated If the result looks: • Artificial • Over-smoothed • Warped • Unrealistic …it will not be accepted. The final visual must pass as professionally photographed and retouched. ⸻ MANDATORY QUALITY TEST Shortlisted designers will be provided with: • A specific real-world product • Reference examples of our current promotional standard • Clear expectations for the outcome The test task will be to: • Create 1 promotional graphic for the supplied product • Match or exceed the quality of our existing work • Improve realism, depth, lighting, and overall visual impact • Make the product feel more premium and compelling Technical note for the test: • The test graphic must be delivered at a fixed size of 472px × 591px • This size is intentional and non-negotiable • The final output must remain sharp, readable, and visually strong at this resolution This test is designed to assess: • Realism and compositing skill • Product enhancement ability • Commercial awareness (does the image sell?) If the output looks AI-generated or artificial, it will be rejected. Passing this test leads to ongoing, repeat work. ⸻ WHO THIS IS FOR ✅ Designers who: • Are advanced in Photoshop / compositing • Understand lighting, depth, and realism • Use AI intelligently and invisibly • Think commercially, not just creatively • Can work to a very high standard ❌ Not suitable for: • AI-only designers • Template-based workflows • Canva-only designers • Anyone unable to pass a realism test ⸻ ONGOING OPPORTUNITY This is not a one-off project. For the right person, this becomes: • Regular monthly work • Consistent volume • Long-term collaboration ⸻ HOW TO APPLY Please include: 1. Product-based design examples (realism matters) 2. Any before/after enhancement or compositing work 3. Confirmation you are happy to complete a test graphic 4. Tools you use (design + video)
