Classic Cards & Illustrated Women Posters
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I am preparing an event that celebrates trail-blazing women from different eras, and I need several related—but visually independent—print pieces.
First, a full deck of classic-style playing cards. Think traditional face-card layout, timeless ornamentation, and an elegant back pattern. Each of the 52 standard cards (plus jokers) will feature a different historic or contemporary woman on the face. A brief caption can hint at her achievement, but the overall aesthetic should feel like it could sit on a vintage card table. These decks will be printed in multiple sets, so please deliver press-ready CMYK files with proper bleed and safe zones.
Second, a series of event posters that showcase other trail-blazing women through larger, more expressive illustrations. The key element here is the artwork of the women themselves; typography, color palette, and layout are up to you as long as the result is eye-catching from a distance. The posters do not have to echo the classic look of the cards—you are free to explore a fresh style that works well at poster scale. Final posters should arrive as high-resolution, print-ready PDFs along with web versions for social promotion.
I have a list of the women for the cards and posters.
Deliverables
• 54 card faces and one universal card back, supplied as separate print-ready files.
• A minimum of five unique poster designs in both full-size print PDF and web JPEG/PNG.
• Source files (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or similar) so we can make minor text updates if needed.
Acceptance criteria
• Accurate bleed, trim, and color profiles suitable for professional offset printing.
• Clear, readable portrayal of each woman with no copyright issues for imagery.
• Timely delivery of drafts for feedback and one consolidated revision round per piece.
If you have a proven eye for classic card layouts and bold illustrative posters, I’m ready to see your portfolio and start immediately.
