Job Title: Wordmark + Product Label Designer (Luxury Tea Brand)

Source: reddit-r-forhire

About the Project

I am launching an online luxury loose-leaf tea house where every blend is a named character pulled from Greek/non-Greek myth and old-world geography. The brand concept is a "lost antique atlas where every region is a tea."

I am looking for an illustrator/designer to create the wordmark + the label for my first blend. This is a hero piece to launch with. If it clicks, there is a much bigger reusable design system to commission down the road. This will first be featured on a demo product.

Budget

  • $300–600 USD
  • This is a real brand with a real print run, not spec work.

Design Style

  • Aesthetic: Engraving / etching / woodcut — fine linework, hatching, the look of an antique printed plate.
  • Illustration: Botanical illustration rendered like old apothecary/specimen plates (the blend's real ingredients).
  • Vibe: Mythic-antiquarian; like a page from an 18th-century atlas or an engraved frontispiece. Not modern-geometric or "clean startup sans."
  • Reference: Vintage gin, whiskey, or absinthe label energy, but botanical and mythic.

Scope of Work

  1. The Hesperides Wordmark: An engraved, antiquarian serif treatment, designed to be gold-foil-stamped.
  2. Wrap-around Product Label: Space for the blend name, one botanical/mythic illustration, and ingredient/legal copy.

Creative Direction

  • Color Palette: Deep forest green (house color), warm ivory (paper), and gold (used sparingly as a metallic foil accent).
  • Brief: I have a detailed art-direction brief with the exact palette, type register, and visual references ready to go.

Deliverables

  • Layered, editable source files (vector / AI).
  • Print-ready files: Gold spec'd as metallic foil, colors as Pantone/CMYK.
  • Web exports: PNG and SVG.

Timeline

  • Flexible: Ideally a first proof within ~2–3 weeks.

How to Apply

To apply, please drop a portfolio link (Dribbble, Behance, ArtStation, IG, or personal site) and point me to a piece or two in this engraved/botanical vein.

  • Bonus: Experience with beverage or spirits labels.
  • Note: I care that you can deliver print-ready files, not just pretty art.

Comment or DM and I will send over the full brief.
