Freelance Designer For Band Web Sites

Budget: Don't Know

– The Job
Create modern web designs fit for one of many genres of music.

Designers will have the opportunity to design many of these if they desire. They can be variations of a single layout, but must significantly differ in visual appeal from one another (I can provide examples). We are also looking for a long term relationship, providing these and other design projects.

We intend to use these as part of an unfunded web startup for bands, we are creating a place for great quality and affordable Web sites for the thousands of bands that can't afford custom and don't want a crappy template.

– Design Specifications
- All designs must be submitted as layered photoshop files. All layers must be clearly named and well organized (an example PSD will be provided to work from).
- Should be optimized for 1024 x 768px screen size (no critical elements of function or design outside these bounds). Backgrounds can extend beyond these bounds (examples can be provided for this as well).
- All fonts used should be free for commercial use and be freely and easily accessible on the web. Web links to each font should be included so that we can download them ourselves and review the commercial usage licensing for our purposes.
- Main content area should be 900px wide (We will provide example design Photoshop file demonstrating this).
- All art used in designs should be licensed for commercial use (including Photoshop brushes, textures, photos, icons, vector art, etc.).
- Please exclude music clichés like guitar picks, guitar/player silhouettes, microphones, piano keys, etc. We are looking for solid visual appeal that would relate well to artist's music and that their fans will love.
- Each design will include an area for navigation, tour dates, news post, twitter feed, merchandise items, and a graphical link to open a music player (Upon selection, you will be provided with an example design photoshop file with each of these elements included for reference).


– Things you don't have to worry about
No writing/editing/typing required. No coding is required, just design.


– Specific expertise that we are seeking
Prior work in modern, edgy and/or music related design. Please provide samples of your own work.


– Time frame for delivery
Please deliver assets specified within seven business days of selection.

– Legal stuff
Blackwood Media Group will retain the copyright for the designs to modify and distribute in any way we see fit.

– The Money $
We are aiming for $100 per design. Time commitment is minimized as we will provide a sample generic Photoshop file containing a basic skeleton of the essential elements so you can focus on the art. We will also provide examples to help you determine the quality and style of work we are seeking.

– We look forward to working with you!
