🇹🇷** Looking for a Children’s Educational Product Designer in Türkiye (Paid Project**)
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a creative and experienced designer (or a small design team) based in Türkiye to help bring an original children’s educational product to life.

This is a paid project, and I’m hoping it will develop into a long-term collaboration if we’re a good fit.
Ideally, you have experience in some or all of the following:

Children’s book illustration
Character design
Graphic design
Book/page layout
Product and packaging design
Preparing print-ready files
The project will include designing:
An illustrated children’s book
An A6 ring binder
Custom zipper envelope/divider designs
Activity and workbook pages
Product packaging
Print-ready production files

Experience with children’s books, educational products, or physical consumer products would be a huge advantage.

I’m specifically looking to work with someone based in Türkiye, as I plan to manufacture the product there and would love to collaborate with someone familiar with the local industry.

This is an original concept that I’ve been developing for quite some time, so I’ll only be sharing the full details with shortlisted candidates. I’m also happy to work under a mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) if required.

If you’re interested, please send me:
Your portfolio
Your rates
Your location (city)
Any similar projects you’ve worked on

Thank you! I’m looking forward to finding someone creative who would be interested in building a meaningful, high-quality children’s brand together.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to hire a book cover illustrator or designer.
My first self-published book has already been published, but I’m creating a new cover for a future edition.
I’ve spent months working on the concept and feel like I’m very close, but I just can’t seem to get it to look the way I see it in my head.
I’m looking for someone who specialises in elegant, literary, hand-drawn or graphite-style book covers and who’d be happy to refine the concept rather than completely redesign it.
If this sounds like the kind of work you do, I’d love to see your portfolio. Recommendations are welcome too.
Thanks so much!

This is a reoccurring gig.

Roughly 10 cartoons a month. DMs open

I orginally stumbled on reddit to make a post about how to find still life artists on bluesky/twitter, but I stumbled onto a subreddit where I can hire! I want to have a profile picture that will end up on multiple of my social medias. I have two instruments (a bass and a piano), and I would want my pfp to be the both of them making an X. The price is 20$~. If you are interested, please hit me up!

I am looking to hire one or more artists to create illustrations for a political book focused on the negative effects of the market system on our emotional well-being, and why transitioning past a market system would enhance human well-being.

While it is not a traditional paneled comic book, it will function similarly to an illustrated book with powerful, full-page artwork appearing every few pages.

**Project Details:**

* **Style:** Traditional or digital art mimicking traditional inks or paints.

* **The "Problem" Section:** Illustrations capturing heavy themes like depression, alienation, feudalism, slavery, war, exploitation, subjugation, and environmental damage.

* **The "Solution" Section:** Illustrations capturing optimistic themes like futuristic sustainable cities, community, happiness, and freedom.

* **Scope:** I am considering either hiring one single artist to complete roughly 50 illustrations, OR sourcing standalone, pre-existing, or individual pieces from many different artists. I am leaning on sampling many diverse art styles which better reflects the community spirit of the book's theme.

IMPORTANT: This is a serious, non-fiction book analyzing political psychology. I am looking for raw, texture-driven, abstract, or editorial linework or moving painted images (think dark surrealism, architectural decay, or psychological tension). Do not reply with anime, manga, comic book style (unless in the Moebius style, or style used by artists working with Neil Gaiman or Alan Moore), or fantasy character concepts.

**Budget:**

Because this is for publication and I am paying out of my pocket and not making a profit off the book since it will be used to inspire readers into an idea, I am adhering to the commercial minimums. I am budgeting a minimum of $100 to $150+ USD per illustration (dependent on complexity/style), or a bulk project rate to be negotiated if a single artist takes on all 50 pieces. Such a cost must include your agreement that I may use that illustration in my book.

**How to Apply:**

Please comment on this thread with a link to your portfolio. *Note on CARA:* I recently joined Cara, but find its messaging framework highly restrictive if we don't mutually follow each other. Please ensure your portfolio link makes it easy to find an external contact point (like your website, email, or ArtStation).

You can also reach out to me directly at puppeteersongs at gmail dot then the first three letters of the word community. Please state your per-piece commercial rates in your email.

But first I really just want to see your work so I can get a sense of what you've done so far.
