Handcrafted Typography Word Art for Poster and Book Page. Help high school students!

Education

We are publishing our up-and-coming book "Building the World's Greatest High School Student Leader." Our books are read by high school students and high school educators in the United States and Europe. Our latest book, "Building the World's Greatest High School," focuses on the six personal values (or ways of seeing life) that can help them be the best people they can be and help others do the same. Our book targets high school aged student leaders in student leadership classes.

We are looking for a designer to create a single page of handcrafted, hand drawn typography (no fonts whatsoever) that lists the 6 values we are teaching our student leaders and a title. This design will be used as a poster and as a page within a book. SEE ATTACHMENTS for the actual text we need on the poster/book-page. Here is the text that should appear in the poster/book-page you are creating: ---------------------------------------------- THE VALUES OF THE WORLD’S GREATEST HIGH SCHOOL “The World’s Greatest Values” We are what we believe – what we believe unifies us. All kids have futures. No one gets anywhere without a teacher. All students are gifted and talented. Every day is an opportunity to become the World’s Greatest Me. Everything we do, we do with PRIDE. ---------------------------------------------- The creation should be treated similarly to a POSTER of typography. Only handcrafted typography (no pictures or fonts). Ask yourself, "Would a high school teacher or student want to hang this design on their wall?' "Would such a person want to see this in a book?" The single-page, poster-like design should... 1. be of the quality that could be sold as a poster or as an impressive page within a book; 2. be black and white only (or grayscale); 3. have a transparent background (but may include a white background layer for the purposes of displaying your work for this contest); 4. be 100% handcrafted (either on a digital or physical platform); 5. be 17" tall and 11" wide; 6. be readable if shrunk down to 8.5" tall by 5.5" wide; 7. be 300dpi in the final file (allowing for us to widely use the file in many ways); 8. take into account that the design will be used BOTH as a poster print AND as a page within a book; 9. take into account that the cover image and internal page design attached (often, hand-writing-like designs look great next to sharp text, like those you'll see in our attachments); 10. include the content in our attachments; 11. MAY (yes, maybe) include some design elements like a border or line(s); and 12. include .PSD, .PDF, AND other useful file formats (that you choose) in final submission to us. The WINNING design is one that meets 100% of the above requirements AND clearly feels like it's a design worth us paying the amount we are offering the contest winner.

IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE DESIGNER WINNER WE CHOOSE WILL BE CONTACTED FOR FUTURE WORK WITH US. IF WE LOVE YOUR WORK, WE'LL MOST LIKELY HAVE MORE JOBS AFTER THIS ONE. Please see our attachments to fully understand the context of what you are creating. Your design will appear as a poster in the classrooms of high school students (17" tall by 11" wide) AND it will appear as a page within our book (8.5" tall by 5.5" wide). Attached, you will find... A. The text you must create; B. The cover image of the book for context; and C. A sample typeset page from within the book. REMEMBER only handcrafted typography (no fonts) will be accepted. We are so thankful for you and your talents. We believe in you and are so excited to receive your work, pay you for your artistry, have 100% ownership transferred to us, and print it for the students we serve. Please see attached.
