Contest Brief

We are in need of a graphic designer that can create nice and updated graphic overlays for product photography similar to previous designs but yet still "new" in appearance.

THE JOB:

We are in need of graphic overlays for product photos that are thematically the same but suit EACH of the following platforms and their sizes:

1) Universal Profile Pic (square, that gets cropped to a circle) 400px by 400px
2) Facebook Cover Photo (top wide image) 851px by 315px
3) Instagram Post Image (square that stays a square) 1080px by 1080px Facebook/Twitter Profile Picture (square that gets cropped to a circle) 400px by 400px
4) Instagram "Story" / TikTok Image (tall thin image) 1080px by 1920px
5) Discord Server Banner (top wide image) 1200px by 480px
6) Twitter Profile Cover (top wide image) 1500px by 500px, (adjusted for Twitter Cover "safe zone")

Designer is required to create GRAPHIC OVERLAYS like those in the samples, that can be uniformly applied to any of many similar artistic pre-existing product photos, and occasionally modified text for each photo. Winning designer may be hired for 2nd job to apply various texts to many Raw photos.

General Theme: Mystery.
Nothing too bright or glaring. Mysterious and "inviting curiosity" is best. We'll use a bit more COLOR than we have in the past, by perhaps gradient tinting text slightly to match the dice in the photo.
As we narrow down our preferences from contest entries, additional details will be listed in project comments - please check before submitting. Thank you.

How to submit for contest:

1) View all the SAMPLES in the attached files. (Note: "Old Samples" are mostly "Aimed down to the right". All Finals from this project must be "Aimed Up to the right")
2) Using the any of the "RAW PHOTO Options" in the attached files, CREATE YOUR OWN VERSION OF THE GRAPHIC OVERLAYS (with your vision of the text layout at correct sizes).
3) Use the font attached for main text (Thirsty Rough Ultra Bold). Main text should read: "Join the Countdown!" Or "Join the Countdown! Ask me why..." (As seen in various samples).
4) Adjust Photo and Graphic Overlay to export your own Submissions for Size #s 2, 3, 4, & 6 only. (The other 2 sizes are very similar, so no need to test now.) Submit all 4 options on 1 image file / submission, so all 4 can be seen at the same time.
5) Upload every submitted photo as a SEPERATE contest entry please. (Uploading all 5 sizes, as 5 entries is welcome.)

WINNING:
Changes or additional entries may be requested.
Winner be paid for the award in exchange for ALL FIVE graphic overlay sizes in transparent .png format without photo backgrounds.
Winner will be hired for additional editing purposes after contest. (Alternate text, and possible bulk photo output.)

WINNER REQUIREMENTS:
- Provide matching overlays for ALL SIX sizes as contest prize.
-Winner must be available immediately AFTER the contest to be hired for a new job to then edit approximately 17 Raw Photos into all 6 required sizes, each with various text options (up to 3-4 text options each). This will be an ADDITIONAL Freelancer.com job for additional pay and will result in an additional review (and I give good reviews!).

NOTES:

This contest is under NDA. Do not share images/photos under any circumstances.
Photos in project uploads are the sole property of the hiring company.

RATING NOTES:

Entries will be rated from 1 to 4 stars.
4 - Excellent - A winner will be chosen from these. Good models to follow.
3 - Good - In the right direction, but not quite right.
2 - Ok - Fine art, but not well liked.
1 - Poor - Didn't follow instructions.

Only the winner will be marked with 5 stars on the final day.

    Final 24 hours of the contest!

    If you have a 4-star entry, check it for feedback. Submit an even better version if you like! A winner will be chosen from the 4-star entries AFTER the contest closes.

    Anything 4-star will be brought to our board and we'll decide which style we want our marketing to take on for the full countdown. We'll communicate with you about doing all 21 countdown items, via private chat, so you can bid a price privately to do that job.

    We will then chose a winner ASAP thereafter.

    Resubmit any additional entries or variants that you think will help your 4-star entry WIN. The more we see, the easier our decisions will be. Thus if you have a 4-star entry with a blue die and blue effects, submit the same concept with the purple, or vice versa, so we can see how your style looks on various items, as each final die will be a different color you'll have to match to. # 20 down to # 0. Thank you!!

    With 2 days left, we are now going to begin introducing 4-star awards. Yours might move up!

    If we asked for changes from you and you haven't given them yet, please do.
    It measures your ability to work with us, and gets us closer to our perfect goal. We do not usually chose a final winner who doesn't apply changes during the live portion of the contest.

    Thank you.

      Entries will move up and down. 4-star entries may still require feedback before they can win.
      If you're 4-star, you're going to the art board here as a real possibility for final design winner.

      Reminder: Winner MUST be able to edit dozens of these backgrounds into all 6 final size/shapes each as a separate job shortly following this contest. (Exciting stuff!)

    Entry #104 appears to be the only entry that has used our text shape suggested. Please try it.
    Small near die, larger away from die like an announcement coming from the die.

    Think of the dice like a head, and the highlighted number like an eye looking upward, or a mouth calling out. For those wide banners the text should be aligned to be coming from it. If the die is too high in the image, or the text is too low in the image it looks silly.

    Curving text around the die in the square or tall images is a good idea.

    Be sure square images can crop to a circle without losing any text.

    Thoughts from Day 1 of contest.
    1) Entries must use a "Raw photo" as background to submit.
    2) Entries with all 4 versions in 1 entry are the most helpful (single image entries are harder to judge; entries with 6 images are also hard to judge as they then get too small).
    3) Do not recolor the dice. Apply color effects as overlays or on text.

    Additional details:
    1) Reminder: Text on wide banner entries must angle up, not down.
    2) Wavy text (up down up down...); Distorted text (thin then thick...) will NOT win.
    3) Curved text is ok on square images, but ensure it won't get cut off when cropped to a circle by Social Media.

    Note: Older submissions beat out by newer ones may have star rating decreased. Older ones that we like more and more as we compare to other may have star rating increased. This will be true for the life of the project. Be sure to read our comments on entries for tips going forward of what works for us and what doesn't.

    God Bless & Thank you!

      When you ask no color change your background. But you gave the highest ratings which changed the color of your background?

      @Md Motiur R. - This is for the text. If you read the comments on them you'll see. No 4-stars yet.
      A minor color tint in background is perhaps ok. Maybe even an effect. But do not change the color of the dice in the photograph.
      Good question!
