Project: Hiring Flyer + Postcard Design for Dog Daycare (24–48 hr Turnaround)** Hi! I own a **dog daycare in Silicon Valley** and I need a designer to create two recruiting pieces that are on-brand, eye-catching, and ready for print fast. --- ### Deliverables 1. **8x10 Flyer (single-sided)** * For posting on bulletin boards (coffee shops, pet stores, gyms, libraries, etc.) * Should feature text + photos (dogs, staff, ranch) * Clean, fun, and professional design 2. **5x7 Double-Sided Postcard** * Front: role overview, pay, schedule, and visuals * Back: culture highlights, QR code, and call to action * To be handed out at events or left in local shops --- ### Requirements * **Turnaround within 24–48 hours** of hire * Must be open to revisions (ideally small tweaks, but flexible if adjustments are needed) * Deliver **print-ready files** *and* ideally help with **FedEx/Kinko’s submission** so files are set up correctly and we can just pick them up * Provide web-ready PDF versions for sharing online --- ### Text Content (Draft for Flyer/Postcard) **Headline:** Join the Rascal Ranch Team 🐶 Dog-Loving Drivers + Outdoor Adventurers Wanted! **About the Role:** Spend your days outdoors on our private 7-acre ranch in Half Moon Bay, wrangling playful pups and driving doggy vans. All shifts are weekdays only — no nights, weekends, or holidays. You’ll enjoy a **consistent schedule, consistent paycheck, consistent pups, and a consistent team** you’ll get to know and grow with. **Perks:** 💰 $22.50–$23.50/hr + paid training 🐾 Work with dogs & great people 📍 Routes start/end in San Carlos **You’re Our Ideal Teammate If You’re:** ✔️ A **safe, experienced driver** (5+ yrs behind the wheel, clean record) ✔️ A **strong communicator** — clear, quick, and comfortable with team + client updates ✔️ **Interactive, energetic, agile, and outdoorsy** — this is an active, hands-on role, not a sit-down job ✔️ Love dogs and people equally ✔️ **Tech-comfy** and eager to learn **Call to Action:** 📲 Text Vicki at xxxxxxxxx to apply today! We’re a trusted local biz serving Peninsula pups for 24 years. Come run with the rascals 🐕🌿 --- ### Target Applicant Avatar (for design inspiration) We’re trying to attract **energetic, tech-comfortable dog lovers** who want a steady, active, meaningful job. They’re outdoorsy, adaptable, and thrive in a team environment. Many of our best hires have backgrounds like swim instructors, EMTs, childcare workers, dog groomers, or other hands-on service jobs. The right applicants: * **Love dogs and people** (equal parts!) * **Enjoy being outside and active** (not a desk job) * **Street-smart & positive** — they hustle, adapt quickly, and stay upbeat even on messy days * **Tech-comfortable** (Slack, apps, phones) * **Ready to drive for 3–4 hours a day, get dirty, and stay active with dogs outdoors** * **Mature, adaptable, and customer-facing** — able to represent us well with clients * Value being part of a **small, loyal business family** where every person matters and everyone pulls their weight We do **not** want to attract people who are negative, lazy, entitled, afraid to get dirty, or looking for an easy “play with dogs” job. We also do **not** want someone who’s planning to work for just a few months and move on, or who thinks they can call out whenever they want. We’re looking for **responsible dog lovers seeking a long-term role** where they can learn, grow, and be part of something meaningful. This is an **active, hands-on job that requires common sense, adaptability, and maturity.** The design should make this role look **fun, rewarding, and professional** — not casual or gimmicky. --- ### Design Style We’ll provide a **brand kit, logo, and staff/dog photos**. The design should feel: * **Clean, fun, and modern** * **Not cartoony or elementary** — no clip-art or childish design styles * Iconography is fine as long as it’s **sleek and professional** * Appealing to people **ages 22–30** * Professional enough to inspire trust, but still playful enough to feel exciting and welcoming --- ### What I’m Looking For * **Fast turnaround** (24–48 hours) * Open to revisions if design direction is off track * Experience with **flyers, postcards, and recruiting collateral** * Comfortable handling both **design + print setup** (FedEx/Kinko’s) * Clean, modern design that feels fun, professional, and dog-loving If this goes well, I’d love to keep working with the same designer on future projects — including client materials and branded merch (T-shirts, beanies, etc.) for staff and clients. Please share examples of past flyer/postcard/recruiting design work in your proposal. ---
