Hop Studios: Creation of Graphic to Illustrate EE Modules

Client: 

Hop Studios is a boutique Web consulting, design and development firm based in Vancouver, BC. We work extensively with the ExpressionEngine CMS, and have developed a series of modules, extensions and plugins for EE.

Product: 

We are looking for a designer to create graphics on an on-going basis to illustrate the EE modules we develop. The current module we would like illustrated is called Inject and a detailed desciption can be found below.

There are two graphics needed: an icon of 17pixels square, and a banner image of 430 x 165 pixels. Both are for use on our web site and would need to match the style of previous illustrations.

About Inject: The inject plugin for ExpressionEngine "injects" HTML or text (for example, an ad or widget) into a section of dynamic content (such as a blog post or article) when a Web page is rendered. It makes the injection at one or more "points" in the dynamic content, which it discovers using a configured delimiter (one common delimiter is a paragraph tag, "").

Examples of what people using this plugin might do:
* Inject a link to my Amazon book after the third paragraph tag in every blog post.
* Inject HTML for advertisement #1 after the first paragraph tag, and inject HTML for advertisement #2 after the fifth paragraph tag, in every article.
* Inject a cute little icon at the end of every list element in every blog post.
* Inject a css style attribute to every paragraph tag in every article.

Examples of headers for previous modules:

Business Problem: 

We are in need of a creative person with graphic design and illustration skills.

Client Context: 

The graphic would be part of an on-going series, with new requests made for more as future modules are developed and launched.

Media Context: 

The audience will encounter the graphic on the Hop Studios web site: http://hopstudios.com

Audience: 

The main audience of the ad are designers and developers using the ExpressionEngine CMS intested in installing our modules within their client sites.

Proof: 

N/A

Character: 

The illustrations created for past modules tend to be metaphorical and quirky with bright colours with a fun style that play graphically with the functionality of the module they accompany. We'd like the new graphics to have the same fun, light tone.

Requirements: 

The Hop Studios logo — a yellow rubber duck — must be used somehow within the illustration, and the colour palette of the previous module illustrations must be used.

Extensions: 

The successful candidate would be asked to create illustrations for future modules as they come available.
