Conceptual Illustrator for Professional Networking Book / Course
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
Illustrator Needed for Leadership Book (Minimal, High-Recall Style)
I’m authoring a leadership book on professional networking in modern corporate environments and am looking for an illustrator who can translate ideas into simple, memorable visuals.
This is not decorative work.
I’m looking for someone who can think in concepts, not just draw.
Style Direction
Inspired by Robert Ferraro
* Clean, minimal line art
* Black & white only (no color)
* Modern, slightly Instagram-influenced aesthetic
* Concept-driven (visual metaphor > literal drawing)
* Instantly understandable and memorable
Project Scope
12 chapters + 1 checklist section
13 core illustrations (1 per section)
Potential to expand to 20–30 illustrations based on fit
Each illustration will represent a key idea or behavior from the book.
I will provide clear concept notes and context—your role is to bring them to life visually.
Examples of Concepts
* Why networking feels hard
* Transactional vs relational networking
* Influence without authority
* Strong ties vs weak ties
* Navigating invisible organizational dynamics
What I’m Looking For
* Ability to convert abstract ideas into simple visual metaphors
* Strong instinct for minimalism (what to remove vs what to add)
* Experience with **editorial, book, or social-style illustrations
* Willingness to iterate and refine
Deliverables
* Vector files (SVG/AI)
* High-resolution PNGs
* Print-friendly formats

Sample Illustration Test (Mandatory)
Please submit a rough concept sketch (not a polished design) for:
Concept: Why Networking Feels Hard
Context:
Networking often feels unnatural because it can feel forced, uncertain, and emotionally uncomfortable—even when we know it’s important.
What I’m evaluating:
* Clarity of idea
* Originality of metaphor
* Simplicity and restraint
* Emotional relatability
(Avoid literal depictions like people shaking hands.)
To Apply, Please Share
1. Portfolio (relevant minimal / line art work)
2. 2–3 samples closest to this style
3. Your approach to translating ideas into visuals
4. Your sketch for the sample concept above
This project may extend beyond the book into LinkedIn / social content / training , so I’m looking for a longer-term creative partner, not just a one-off engagement.
