Build a Reusable Photoshop Editorial Template for a Premium Running Brand

I’m looking for a highly experienced Photoshop compositing artist to help build the visual production system for my personal running brand. This is NOT a request for a one-time Instagram graphic. I’m building a premium editorial running brand that documents my half marathon training, races, and everyday running journey. After every run I already have: * Professional running photography * Strava screenshots * GPS route * Garmin statistics * My own branding My goal is to transform every run into premium editorial content similar to what you would see from brands like Nike, Adidas, Tracksmith, or On Running. Detailed visual references, production examples, and source photography will be shared with shortlisted candidates after the initial proposal review. The work should be original and built specifically for my brand using my own photography. If this initial project is successful, I’d like to continue working together to expand the system into additional templates for Recovery Runs, Long Runs, Race Days, Shoe Reviews, Monthly Recaps, and other recurring content. What I’m hiring you to build I’m looking for someone who can create a reusable Photoshop production system that allows me to update content every week without rebuilding the design from scratch. Deliverables * Fully layered Photoshop PSD * Professional layer organization * Smart Objects wherever appropriate * Editable typography * Editable adjustment layers * Non-destructive workflow * Reusable composition * Route line placeholder * Texture / grain layers * Cinematic color grading * Instagram Feed version (1080×1350) * Instagram Story version (1080×1920) * Reel Cover version (1080×1920) Ideal Skills * Adobe Photoshop expert * High-end photo compositing * Editorial sports design * Typography * Color grading * Athlete branding * Non-destructive Photoshop workflow * Smart Object workflows What I’m NOT looking for * Canva templates * AI-generated graphics * Matchday sports posters * Esports graphics * Flattened PSD files Before applying Please answer the following: 1. Have you built reusable Photoshop templates before? 2. Can you deliver a fully layered PSD with Smart Objects and editable adjustment layers? 3. Have you worked on editorial sports or athletic branding projects? 4. Please include 2–3 examples of Photoshop compositing work. 5. If possible, include one screenshot of the Layers panel from a previous Photoshop project (you may blur the artwork). I’m interested in seeing how you organize your PSD files. 6. Briefly explain how you would structure this project if you were building it for your own brand. To confirm you’ve read the entire job description, begin your proposal with the words ‘Editorial Systems’ and briefly explain how you would architect a reusable Photoshop template.
