Educational Mobile Game
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Collaboration Opportunity: Educational Mobile Game Design (Ages 3–12) – Characters & Elements Needed
Hi [Designer’s Name/Studio Name],
Project Overview:
We aim to create a game that blends learning and play, with original characters, environments, and interactive elements tailored to different age groups (3–6 and 7–12). Your role would involve designing all visual assets, including characters, UI elements, icons, animations, and backgrounds, ensuring they align with the game’s educational goals and appeal to children.
---
Core Design Requirements:
1. Character Design
- Age-Appropriate Characters:
- Ages 3–6: Friendly, whimsical characters (e.g., animals, fantasy creatures) with exaggerated features and expressive emotions to captivate younger kids.
- Ages 7–12: Relatable, aspirational characters (e.g., explorers, scientists, or heroes) that older children can connect with.
- Diversity & Inclusion: Ensure representation across cultures, abilities, and two genders.
- Animation: Simple, smooth animations for character movements and interactions (e.g., jumping, celebrating correct answers).
2. Game Elements & UI Assets
- Interactive Elements: Design icons, buttons, and objects (e.g., puzzles, shapes, numbers, letters) that are visually distinct and easy to recognize.
- Environments: Create immersive, age-suitable backdrops (e.g., a magical forest for younger kids, a futuristic lab for older kids).
- Consistency: Maintain a cohesive art style across all assets to unify the game’s look and feel.
3. Learning-Centric Visuals
- Educational elements (e.g., numbers, letters, science tools) should be integrated seamlessly into the art style.
- Use color psychology to enhance focus (e.g., calming colors for younger kids, vibrant hues for engagement).
4. Technical Specifications
- Provide assets in scalable vector formats (e.g., SVG) and raster formats (e.g., PNG) for different resolutions.
- Optimize file sizes for smooth performance on mobile devices.

Collaboration & Deliverables:
- Character Design Process:
- Concept sketches → Iterative feedback → Final polished designs.
- Sheet of character expressions/poses for animations.
- Element Design:
- Mood boards for environments and UI.
- Icons, buttons, and interactive objects in multiple states (e.g., default, pressed, completed).
- Final Deliverables:
- All character designs (front/back/side views, expressions).
- Full UI/UX kit with game elements.
- Animation storyboards (if applicable).

What We’d Love to See:
1. Examples of character design work(especially for children’s projects).
2. Your approach to creating adaptive visuals for a broad age range (3–12).
3. Estimated timeline and budget for character + element design.
We’re excited to build a game that’s not only educational but also visually enchanting for kids. If this aligns with your skills, let’s schedule a call to discuss details!
