Witty Picture for New Business
Budget: £40 – £50 GBP
I need a cartoon to act as a logo for my new web-based business. The business teaches foreign languages interactively over the web, and the cartoon (the 'hero image' on the website's front page) needs to show two people having a conversation in a really weird language, getting deeply involved in it, possibly getting very frustrated, but having a really good time! They should also be quite sexy and attracted to each other. The unstated tagline is, "Learn a language, get a lover!"
I set this up earlier as a Freelancer Contest, 'Design a Website Front Page 2027815', but none of the entries is witty enough, so I need to inject more skill into it. You could supply that skill in either of two ways:
1. You can enter that Contest independently, which means doing a fully-fledged cartoon from scratch. You don't need to design a webpage - I've said in public Comments in that Contest that I will award the Contest to the best hero image, so Freelancer.com can hold me to that. Working up the cartoon should be great fun. If you choose this option, you don't need to bid here: all you need to do is to enter the Contest.
2. If you'd prefer a quicker job with guaranteed payment, I'll award the existing Contest to the entrant with the image that you like best; then when I get the rights to it, I'll pass it on to you to make the final modifications. You would need to adjust the postures and facial expressions of the two people in the image, so that the viewer can see what they're each thinking; the final result should make the viewer laugh, or at least smile. The modifications will be done as a milestone in this present Project; I offer a fixed price for this of two hours of your time. I'll send you the five existing best entries in private Chat, so that you can choose which one you'd like to modify. You ought not then to switch to Option 1, because the Contest is a sealed Contest, and you'd have seen the entries you'd be competing with.
The existing Contest closes on December 30th. We need to have this modification Project agreed by then, with delivery of the modified image by January 31st (depending on a timely handover from the Contest).
REQUIREMENTS:
1. The image must be custom-built, i.e. with no stock images or clips, and wholly your own work.
2. The image is a narrative: two people are communicating in a strange language, one male, one female, aged 30-35, educated, vivacious, attracted to each other.
3. They have slightly different ethnic backgrounds, to suggest that knowing a foreign language gets you talking to lots of interesting people.
4. They're having a conversation. Some real point is being made, and they're emotionally involved in what's being said.
5. The strange language (a real language, though not well known) consists of the text shown at 'strange-language.png' in Project Files, which you'll probably want to put in a speech-bubble. You can change it if you want (details when required).
6. The style must be minimalist - see 'conversation.jpg' in Project Files. You can't use that image, because it's copyrighted, but it'll give you the desired flavour. The boy is obviously talking garbage, but the girl is rivetted.
7. The colours must harmonise with the blue colours in 'palette.png' in Project Files (but you can use other colours for contrast).
7. The image must be usable unchanged in both mobile view and laptop view.
