Graphic Designer Needed – Canva Presentation Redesign + Animation + 2 Matching Handouts

I'm looking for an experienced graphic designer to update an existing Canva presentation and create two matching printable handouts. Content will be provided, so this is primarily a design and polish job, not content creation. I have brand guidelines in place, but I'm not looking for someone to just apply them literally. There's a lot of room within those guidelines for creative, engaging moments, and I want a designer who will push the visual storytelling further, not just stay safely inside the lines. Scope of work: Redesign/uplevel an existing Canva presentation, using provided brand guidelines as a creative foundation rather than a strict template Add animations, transitions, and engaging visual moments within Canva to make the deck feel dynamic and memorable Design two handouts that visually match the presentation while still feeling elevated and intentional Bring fresh ideas for layout, pacing, and visual interest, not just a cosmetic refresh What I'll provide: Existing Canva file/link Brand guidelines (fonts, colors, logo, style references) Specific content and copy for the presentation and handouts (provided by Thursday, 8/25) What I'm looking for in a candidate: Strong Canva skills, including animation/motion features A portfolio showing bold, creative presentation design, not just clean templates Ability to work within brand guidelines while still elevating and expanding on them Strong eye for layout, hierarchy, pacing, and visual storytelling Fast turnaround and clear communication Deliverables: 1 finished, animated Canva presentation 2 matching handouts (PDF and/or Canva format) Editable Canva files for future updates Timeline: Content provided: Thursday, 8/25 Version 1 for review: Sunday, 8/30 Final version due: Tuesday, 9/1 Please include relevant samples of past Canva design work when applying, especially anything that shows creative use of animation or unexpected visual moments. In your proposal, please also include your quote for the full scope above, and include the word "unicorn" somewhere in your message so I know you've read the full listing.
