Poster Design for Indie Game Launch

Project Overview

We are an indie game studio preparing to launch our first game, a retro-style RPG called 'Echoes of the Aether'. We need a captivating poster design that embodies the game's spirit and attracts potential players. The poster should be visually striking, informative, and suitable for both digital and print marketing materials.

Responsibilities

• Conceptualize and create a visually appealing poster design based on our game's aesthetics and target audience.
• Incorporate provided game assets (screenshots, character art) into the design effectively.
• Ensure the poster design is consistent with our existing branding.
• Prepare the poster design in various formats (e.g., JPEG, PNG, PSD) and sizes for different marketing channels.
• Work closely with our marketing team to ensure the design meets their requirements and feedback.

Requirements

• Proven experience in poster design, specifically for gaming or entertainment industries.
• A strong portfolio showcasing your design skills and creativity.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or other industry-standard design software.
• Understanding of design principles, typography, and color theory.
• Ability to work independently and meet deadlines.

Detailed Description of the Game: 'Echoes of the Aether' is a 16-bit style RPG heavily inspired by classic JRPGs of the SNES era. It features a deep story, turn-based combat, and a vast world to explore. The game's themes revolve around friendship, loss, and the power of memory. The poster should convey these themes while also highlighting the game's unique visual style and gameplay elements. We'd like to evoke a sense of nostalgia while also presenting something fresh and exciting.

We need the final deliverable to include source files (PSD, AI, etc.) and several print and digital sizes (eg: 24x36 inch for print, 1920x1080 for social media, etc.). We are open to creative ideas and concepts and will actively engage with the designer to ensure the poster is something that accurately represents the game and the studio's values.
