Magazine Cover Compositor — Photoshop
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I'm building a personalized magazine cover product where customers upload a photo and receive a finished magazine cover with their names on it. I need a skilled Photoshop resource to produce a clean set of layered PNG assets that will be composited programmatically via ImageKit.io.
This is precision production work, not creative work. The design is already approved. Your job is to execute it cleanly and accurately at spec. Thanks.

**What you'll produce:**
Six discrete PNG assets at 800x1120px with full alpha transparency, plus the source PSD for each:
1. Logo layer — clean reexport of provided asset
2. Corner brackets — four matching L-shapes, blush/rose color
3. Prop zone — decorative floral arrangement, lower right corner, within a defined bounding box
4. Bottom bar — solid color with white uppercase CTA text
5. Cover lines — editorial text overlay, two text blocks, precise positioning
6. Teaser strip — optional editorial strip above the bar
Full spec document and reference images provided on hire.
---
**Skills required:**
- Photoshop (not Illustrator, not Canva)
- Precise alpha transparency work — no halos, no fringing, no white remnants
- Typography accuracy — exact copy, exact punctuation, exact positioning
- Understanding of compositing layers — you are building assets that stack over photos programmatically, not a single finished image
- Ability to follow a written spec document precisely
---
**This is NOT the right fit if:**
- You work primarily in Canva or online tools
- You need creative direction — the design is locked
- You can't guarantee clean transparency edges
- You're likely to interpret the brief rather than follow it
---
**Deliverables:**
- 6 x PNG-24 assets, 800x1120px, sRGB, alpha transparency
- 6 x layered PSDs with named layers
- Guide layer in prop-zone PSD showing the 380x480px zone boundary for future seasonal swaps
---
**Timeline:** 1 - 3 days
**Revisions:** 2 rounds included — spec is detailed enough that this should be right first time
---
**To apply:**
Share examples of precision PNG export work with clean transparency. Layered compositing or product mockup work preferred. Not the right fit if your portfolio is primarily social media graphics or logo design.
