'm looking for a talented designer to help me create a unique and eye-catching direct mail piece for my locksmith business, Chelsea Locksmith. I envision a custom-designed envelope shaped like a padlock, incorporating a real trolley coin and a barcode sticker, to reinforce our brand identity and make our mail stand out.
Design Requirements:
Envelope: Shape: Resemble a padlock, potentially with a curved flap to mimic the shackle. Size: Ideally similar to a standard #10 envelope (4 1/8" x 9 1/2") or slightly larger/wider. Color: Black, metallic silver, or another color that evokes security and trust. Material: Sturdy card stock for a premium feel. Padlock Illustration: Style: Open to suggestions, but leaning towards a clean and minimalist line art style or a detailed, realistic illustration. Keyhole: Include a keyhole detail, possibly with a subtle highlight or embossing. Trolley Coin: Placement: Securely attached near the "keyhole" of the padlock design. Type: A standard UK trolley coin or a custom-designed coin with our logo (open to suggestions). Company Information: Include our logo, business name ("Chelsea Locksmith"), phone number, website, and social media handles. Placement: Discreetly integrated into the padlock design or on the back of the envelope. Font: Clear and legible, complementing the overall design. Barcode Sticker: Design: Visually appealing with our phone number and a call to action (e.g., "Scan to Call"). Placement: Bottom right corner for easy scanning. Type: QR code that links to our phone number or website. Deliverables:
Print-ready design files for the envelope (e.g., AI, PDF, EPS). High-resolution image files of the padlock illustration and barcode sticker. Suggestions for envelope suppliers and printing techniques. (Optional) Design for a custom-made trolley coin with our logo. Ideal Freelancer:
Experience in graphic design and illustration. Understanding of branding and marketing principles. Creativity and attention to detail. Excellent communication skills. Timeline and Budget: 1 week Please provide examples of your previous work, especially envelope designs or illustrations, when submitting your proposal.
I'm excited to collaborate with a talented designer to bring this unique concept to life!
