Goalkeeper Coaching Event Posters

I'm looking for a creative designer to create posters for promoting a goalkeeper coaching event.

Requirements:
- Eye-catching design to attract participants
- Include the following information:
- Event details (date, time, location)
- Registration process
- Key benefits of attending

Ideal skills and experience:
- Graphic design proficiency
- Experience in creating promotional materials
- Ability to convey information clearly and attractively

I’m launching a new DS GK Coaching programme called “The Forge” and need two A4 landscape posters designed exactly to the attached brief.

Both versions use the same text and layout — one clean red/blue gradient version and one forged-steel version with sparks.

I’ve attached everything you’ll need:
• White DS GK badge (transparent PNG)
• “Join The Forge” QR code (PNG)
• Full design brief with layout, colours, and fonts

The posters will be used both for print and digital, so please send me:
• A4 PDFs (print-ready)
• High-res PNGs (for social and Pebble use)

The key is to keep it powerful, clean, and professional – it needs to look like a proper academy campaign.
