Pondering Spring
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I am looking for four posters that illustrate a poem about a nature boy who grows into a man while visiting his nature friends at a nearby pond. His aging is reflected in the changing seasons. I worked with a different freelancer on two of them and decided that they were going in the wrong direction. I am looking for a whimsical design and what I was given was sullen and serious and the "boy" is way too old. I'll attach them only to show you what I'm NOT looking for. What I am looking for:
Poster 1 (Summer)
4 year-old-boy (brown hair) with his mid-sized yellow labrador dancing with turtles, mallard ducks, and jumping frogs on the side of a very small pond in a woods with a clear path that leads to it.
Poster 2 (Fall)
That same boy now at 10 with a black labrador puppy. They are at the same pond but it is getting dark but you can see color in the leaves of the forest. There are fireflies everywhere to help guide their way. The boy is carrying a flashlight and perhaps even the dog has a light. Please remember that I'm looking for a whimsical interpretation.
Poster 3 (Winter)
That boy is now a teenager and his black labrador is not full-grown. The trees are bare and the pond is frozen. Snow is everywhere. The boy is dressed for winter and perhaps the dog even has a sweater. We need to see an owl in the woods and fox tracks. Maybe even a fox peeking out? Remember whimsy!
Poster 4 (Spring)
That boy is now a man of 30. His dog is a mid-sized golden retriever. There are signs of spring everywhere around the pond. Cranes should be standing in the water. And the ducks, turtles, frogs are back dancing. The man and dog are happy.
Attached is the actual poem and the two drawings that I'm NOT thrilled with (although the location is acceptable.) I'd like to have these four posters by December 15. Is this possible?
