Commemorative Plaque Design for Marathon Event

Job ID: 39416968

Budget: $30 – $250 AUD

Project Overview:

I’m seeking a creative and detail-oriented freelance graphic designer to create a Canva-friendly plaque design to honour and thank the sponsors of my “58 Marathons in 58 Days” world-first endurance challenge.

The final design will be used to create a physical plaque, so it should be polished, professional, and emotionally impactful. The design must be easily editable in Canva, with a placeholder to add each sponsor’s logo individually.



Key Elements to Include:
• My official 58 Marathons logo (will be provided).
• A “Thank You” message to the sponsor.
• A visual element representing the map of my 58 marathons (file provided).
• Achievements text:
• “With your support, we raised $162,000 for the Mental Awareness Foundation.”
• “Became the 1st person in history to complete the 50 States Marathon Challenge in 50 days during winter.”
• “Completed the 58/2/58 – A world-first challenge.”
• A dedicated space to insert each sponsor’s logo.
• Final format must be designed in Canva (with sharing rights enabled) so I can edit sponsor logos for multiple plaques.



Inspiration Style:

Attached is an image of a thank-you plaque with a clean, respectful design (see uploaded reference). I’m looking for something similar in tone—bold yet minimal, with a strong focus on gratitude and legacy.



Deliverables:
• 1 x fully editable Canva design file (with font, layout, and placeholders properly set).
• Exported high-resolution PDF and PNG preview.
• Fonts and brand colours should be accessible and editable if needed.



Ideal Candidate:
• Strong portfolio in commemorative, event, or award designs.
• Proficient in Canva and creating templates.
• Understands emotional storytelling through visual design.
• Can work quickly with attention to detail.
• Bonus: Experience in sports, endurance events, or non-profit design work.



Timeline:

I’m ready to begin immediately. I’d love to see first drafts within 3–5 business days of project start.
