2D Pixel Art “Quest Path” Graphic – Visual Goal Planner/Steps (A3 Printable)

Job ID: 39574584

Budget: $30 – $250 AUD

Project Description:
I’m looking to commission an artist to create a 2D pixel-art style illustration that resembles a 2D video game quest map, such as a winding path. The final image will be printed on A3 paper and used as a visual planning tool to help an individual with Autism Spectrum Disorder break down a large goal (for example, gaining employment) into smaller, achievable steps. The design should be fun, clear, and engaging, without being visually overwhelming.

Design Requirements:
Overall Layout:
- Portrait A3 size (297mm x 420mm)
- Retro pixel art / video game quest style
- A winding brown dirt path that travels from the bottom to the top of the page
- Background should include decorative pixel art elements like rocks, grass, signposts, etc., but nothing too cluttered
- Light neutral background (e.g. beige sand or pale green field) for visual clarity

Top of Page:
- Pixel-art style banner or label for the overall goal

Bottom of Page:
- A pixelated 2D character with a label for their name standing at the start of the path

Along the Path:
- Three versions required:
- One version with 8 large empty white boxes
- One version with 12 boxes
- One version with 16 boxes
- These boxes will be used for handwriting steps toward the goal
- Boxes must be clearly visible, well-spaced, and large enough to write in the individual steps (I'm printing it on A3)

Style and Accessibility:
- Friendly, game-like aesthetic
- Soft colour palette (not too saturated or harsh)
- Clean contrast between the path, step boxes, and background
- ASD-friendly — must not be visually overwhelming

Deliverables:
- 3 final high-resolution images in PNG and PDF formats (print-ready at 300dpi, A3 size)
- Editable layered source file (PSD preferred or another tool that's free)
- License for personal and non-commercial use with a client

Don't mind if you use AI generated elements - I just want it to look good. Please include a link to your art or illustration portfolio for similiar projects. Please also confirm you can provide A3 printable versions and let me know your estimated turnaround time for the full project

I have included an AI generated image from my prompt to give an idea of what I am seeking, but closer to the specifications included above such as more room in the boxes, etc. If you have suggestions or think a different style/elements would be better, please also talk to me about this.
