I'm a writer (think magazines, lifestyle/travel websites etc) who's creating a portfolio website. While I have the rights to use my words, I don't always have the rights to use images with my work. For some articles I've used my own photos or royalty-free photos, but many are still blank. While playing Popmundo(.com) I was inspired by the use of graphics on the site. Here are a few examples: [login to view URL] I'm not looking for clones of this style, I'd much prefer something unique, but I like the idea of cartoons to illustrate some of my articles. One idea I quite like is a cartoon version of me to appear in a lot of the pictures as a running theme. At the moment I have more than 20 articles that need images and in the future this number is only likely to grow. Although my site won't get a huge amount of traffic, I will give credit to you on each and I'll also create an author page where you can have a bio and a link to your site. Of course, I'll also pay. Those articles mainly fall into two areas: - sport/travel/lifestyle articles (where image ideas will be quite obvious) - business/marketing articles (where things will be less obvious and you might have to get really creative) The images need to fit in a 940 px (width) by 500 px (height) area and they can be a single image, a cartoon strip depicting the article or whatever else you can think of. A few examples of the more boring topics that I want illustrations for: 1) HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM NEGATIVE SEO 2) HOW MUCH PERSONAL INFO SHOULD YOU SHARE ONLINE? 3) HOW TO GET OUT OF A CAREER RUT 4) WHY CONTENT MARKETING ISN'T A COMPETITOR TO SEO 5) FACEBOOK TO ALLOW TROLLING A few examples of travel etc: 1) THE POWER OF SILENT MEDITATION 2) HELPFUL PHRASES WHEN YOU TRAVEL 3) WORLD'S WEIRDEST TOILET HABITS 4) PSYCHICS ARE ALL FRAUDS 5) IS WEARABLE TECH WORTH WEARING? I can, of course, send you links to the full articles so you can get a better idea of what you might draw for each. In your pitch I want to see that you've really read my post. Tell me why you're the best pick, show me examples of your work, tell me how you'd take control of the project and pick one article from each list above and give me a quick summary of how you'd illustrate it.

Hello, My name is Ikas Alvians, a professional editorial illustrator. I have read your brief and feel very excited about it. My work is mainly focused on editorial and always trying to retell and compliment the text. I believe that a good editorial illustration is created not only by the illustrator, but also the writer who has the original idea of the text. My style is very simple and retro inspired with rich texture (to see more about my style, you can see my portfolio provided on my profile page or just visit [login to view URL]). For your "How Much Info Should You Share Online?" brief, I would like to make an illustration depicting a man (Based on Guardian research,LinkedIn has a 60% male userbase) writing on her laptop while being watched by a global crowd. The male will be writing his identity posted on a social media platform, while a suspicious-looking character watching his ID with a binocular. While for your "The Power of Silent Meditation" brief, I would like to make an illustration depicting a girl sitting in a yoga position possibly in his living room surrounded by a crowd yet she still looks so calm and peaceful. The atmosphere would be very calm, with a domination of white as the color of the scene. Those concepts are still very rough and I still need the full article to be well informed with the idea of the text. But if you are interested, feel free to contact me. Regards, Ikas Alvians

Hi, I am very interested in your project. I have checked your examples from imgur and I believe I can create interesting illustrations that can explain your articles in a funny way. For example for A.2) I would draw a tourist speaking with carnivorous plants, but it would be much better if I can read your articles/posts first. I would charge 10-15$ per illustration, a that is very fair price for the time I'll invest in it. Please check my portfolio to see some of my works. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Biljana

Dear Sir/Madam: I am in the business of designing graphics for websites, banners, posters for more than 10 years. I will be able to deliver you exactly what you require. I work very closely with my client to ensure that all the demands of the project are met, and they are completely satisfied with my work. I usually draw a plan/timeline along with my client as to how and when I will deliver my services, so that the client has a comprehensive idea how his/her work is progressing and at what stage their project is in. My bid is for 5 posters. We could talk and finalize the price if you like my work. In my profile I have uploaded a file of some of the work that has been done by my team. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Looking forward to working with you. Best Regards, Mita
