Need a graphic designer and photographer for my mesh products :)

[Whitney Deka]

Hi there!

I'm a 3D artist / mesh builder / texture artist etc. I usually work outside of SL as a freelancer, but this is way more fun (of course!) and it's my goal to be able to focus more of my time on making a living through SL. I really love making items for SL, but the product image, graphic design, etc aspect of running a SL business is something I struggle with. I make new items regularly but never end up listing them, or wait months after finishing, because either my product pictures suck, or I just never take them (lol). I hate this aspect of creating. I end up shying away from creating as a whole because of this step. It's really silly.

Right now, even calling my brand a brand is a bit of a stretch. Almost all of my item images are using different fonts, colors, etc. It's pretty gross. The items themselves are well recieved, lots of repeat customers, but I think I could do so much more if I weren't held back in the marketing department. My store, Cup of Cozy: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/55475

I have two needs:

1. Someone to take nice product images with context. I have a potted plant item that needs to be listed, for example. I'd like it to be in a garden or on a patio.

2. PSD product advertisement templates (and the rights to keep using them). One for the main marketplace listing, and at least one more for additional pop-up images. Little logo in the bottom corner (I can make this if you don't want to), a very simple border, text formatting ready to go, etc.

I have two shops that need these services. My current store, Cup of Cozy, caters to furniture and items you'd expect to see in your first life :P. Antiques, contemporary items, I'll probably add more modern stuff later. My new store called "shula" will be for fantasy, medieval, magical, gorean, etc RP items. Mostly furniture and accessories, maybe weapons.

I would LOVE to find someone to be my sole go-to provider. That's my best case scenario. We can discuss a flat fee per product + flat fees for the templates, or even profit sharing. I'm open to your ideas. Reply to this thread or get ahold of me in-world on this name or on AyaShula, the account for my other store and the account I spend more time on. Thanks for reading my long-winded post and I hope you hear from you soon. :)

Hello,

Here is my Flickr stream http://www.flickr.com/photos/artist_amara/ And I am including some examples I have made recently.

This is a simple vendor image that shows the product without any background. Client sends me boots and informs me about the deadline when he needs them finished. He places his own text.

For this vendor photo I had to create a scene and using it for each bike the client sends. Same client as previous.

This product is rezzed on a sim and shoot there. No writings.

The last one shows a lightly edited portrait pose with a logo and a name.

If you liked what you saw feel free to contact me and we will chat about the details. Have a nice day!
