Design/ illustration for infographics

Information for the business: Video production
Industry: Publishing/Journalism
Design details: We are currently pitching for a project to create a series of animated infographics. If successful we may require an additional designer to help create some of the elements to be animated by our team. We are looking for UK based freelancers (NW/ Manchester preferred) with experience in designing bespoke infographics (i.e. not using templates).

We need people who can help with both the overall layout and design, as well as drawing individual elements such as simple characters and icons - without heavily relying on stock imagery.

This is potentially a medium term project over several months and we would be looking to discuss the project in more detail - preferably in person - before awarding any work. Some work might be based on site in our office in Manchester.
Ideas for the visual style: Various styles depending on subject
Where the design will be used: Online animated explainer videos
