Christmas website
We have a website that creates custom packages from Santa for children. This year, we will be including a full color Santa graphic (8 1/2 X 11) that children can stick in their window at home. Note: although it is a piece for children, it does not need to look like it was created by a child (I.E. crayon, sloppy, etc) It's a sign that says "Santa, Stop Here! I've Been Good All Year!"
It is a 8 1/2 X 11 (landscape) 4 color image that is should be easy to read, and very 'Christmas'.
We need a creative artist to design this piece! It should be a stylized illustration (Illustrator file). Ideally, it should contain Christmas colors, and can have 'snow on the text', or little elves peering around the letters, etc. We’re open to other creative concepts. Have fun, go wild! (We can provide daily feedback, and art direction)
Note: You can submit black/white line art (quick sketches for layout) for further art direction, and then color it after the concept is approved, if you would like.
Please ask if you have additional questions!
The target market for this graphic is children (3 to 8 years old). Note: although it is a piece for children, it does not need to look like it was created by a child (I.E. crayon, sloppy, etc) It is for a piece that the child can stick in their window at home. A 'beacon' for Santa. :) Should be colorful, easy to read, and professionally done.
