Freelance Illustrator – Tarot Deck Design

This role involves creating a visually distinctive digital tarot card deck based on detailed written descriptions and visual references. The illustrator will be responsible for designing each card in a classic tarot style, ensuring the inclusion of Roman numerals in the top-right corner and producing three unique variants per card by adjusting color, shading, brightness, or incorporating metallic silver/gold effects. All artwork must be original and created without the use of AI tools. The cards should be delivered as standard rectangular PNGs in sRGB color space at a 7:12 aspect ratio, with three resolution versions for each card (350×600px, 700×1200px, and 1050×1800px), properly named with @1x, @2x, and @3x suffixes. Editable high-resolution source files (PSD or AI) are also required. Initial sample cards are expected within one week, with the full deck to be completed within a month. There is potential for additional follow-up projects based on performance and quality.
