JOB TITLE:
Print Production Specialist + Gelato & Shopify Product Setup (Premium Canvas Art Brand)

DESCRIPTION:

I am building a premium canvas art brand (Zali-Art) and require an experienced designer / print production specialist to take my existing artwork and turn it into high-end, print-ready products, then upload and present them professionally on my Shopify store using Gelato print-on-demand.

This is NOT a basic upscaling job. I am looking for someone with strong experience in print production, image refinement, and eCommerce product setup.

There are approximately 50 artworks to start, with ongoing work available.

---

PHASE 1: MASTER FILE CREATION (CRITICAL)

You will take provided artwork (AI-generated concepts) and recreate/refine them into true high-resolution master files suitable for large canvas printing.

FORMATS REQUIRED:
- Square
- Landscape
- Portrait (tall)

Output per design:
- Square: minimum 9000 x 9000 px
- Landscape: minimum 12000 x 9000 px
- Portrait: minimum 9000 x 12000 px
- 300 DPI
- RGB
- PNG + layered PSD

Requirements:
- Rebuild or professionally upscale artwork (NOT basic AI upscale only)
- Preserve painterly brush strokes and texture
- Clean up noise while maintaining artistic detail
- Ensure crisp edges and high-detail finish when zoomed

IMPORTANT:
- No blurring or over-smoothing
- Brush strokes must remain sharp and natural
- Final result must look like high-resolution original artwork

Preferred software:
- Adobe Photoshop (required)
- Topaz Gigapixel (optional for initial upscale only)

---

PHASE 2: GELATO PRODUCT SETUP

Using the master files, you will:

- Upload each design into Gelato
- Apply artwork to the LARGEST 3 canvas sizes for each format (square, landscape, portrait)

Ensure:
- No stretching
- No awkward cropping
- Correct positioning for each size
- Proper canvas wrap (safe edges considered)

NOTE:
Gelato backend is already fully set up.

---

PHASE 3: SHOPIFY PRODUCT SETUP

You will:

- Push products to my Shopify store via Gelato integration
- Ensure products are clean, consistent, and ready for sale

VARIATIONS REQUIRED:
Each product must include:
- Size options (based on Gelato sizes)
- Frame options:
- Framed
- Unframed

Ensure:
- Variants are set up correctly and clearly
- No duplication or confusion in listings
- Clean, professional product presentation

Includes:
- Consistent product titles
- Correct variant structure
- Clean layout across all products

NOTE:
Website structure and backend are already complete.

---

REQUIREMENTS:

- Strong experience with print-on-demand (Gelato preferred)
- Advanced Photoshop skills (non-negotiable)
- Understanding of canvas print requirements (bleed, wrap, DPI)
- Experience with Shopify product setup and variants
- Ability to handle batch work (50+ artworks) with consistency

---

DELIVERABLES:

For each artwork:
1. High-resolution master files (all 3 formats)
2. Fully uploaded Gelato product (largest sizes applied correctly)
3. Shopify product listing complete with:
- Size variations
- Frame / no-frame options

---

TO APPLY:

Please include:
- Examples of print-ready artwork you have prepared
- Experience with Gelato or similar platforms
- Shopify product/variant setup examples

---

IMPORTANT:

This role requires precision and consistency across a large number of artworks.

If you rely only on automated upscaling tools without manual refinement, this role is NOT suitable.

POTENTIAL FOR ONGOING WORK:

Ongoing work will be available for future collections if quality is high.
