Graphic Designer Needed for Dream Pop EP Artwork

Hi! I’m an independent singer-songwriter looking for a talented graphic designer to create the complete visual identity for my upcoming EP, scheduled for release beginning of next year. I'd like to find someone who can help build a cohesive visual world around the project. About the project The EP is called DREAMCORE. Musically, it blends dream pop, nostalgic synths, cinematic atmospheres and emotional songwriting. The aesthetic is dreamy, surreal, nostalgic, feminine, melancholic and slightly uncanny. Some visual references include: * 90s nostalgia * Dreamcore / Weirdcore aesthetics * VHS textures * Japanese pop culture * Anime-inspired imagery * Pastel colours (pink, blue, lavender) * Ethereal landscapes * Soft glow and analogue imperfections * Vintage technology (CRT TVs, cassette tapes, wired headphones) * Liminal spaces * Retro futurism Artists and visual worlds I love: * Lana Del Rey * Beach House * Magdalena Bay * Grimes (early era) * Sailor Moon * Hiroshi Nagai * 90s anime aesthetics What I need Initially, I’m looking for: * EP cover artwork * Back cover * CD artwork * Vinyl artwork (optional but appreciated) * Booklet / lyric booklet layout * Spotify Canvas concepts (optional) * Social media assets matching the EP branding * Print-ready files I’m also open to building a longer-term collaboration for future singles and merchandise if we’re a good fit. Style I’m not looking for minimalist corporate design. I’m looking for someone with a strong artistic eye who enjoys creating immersive visual worlds and isn’t afraid of colour, emotion and atmosphere. Experience with music branding is a big plus. Please include * Portfolio (especially album artwork, posters or editorial design) * Your favourite project you’ve worked on * Any experience designing for musicians * Your estimated timeline If you’ve read everything, please start your proposal with the word “Dreamcore” so I know you didn’t use an automated application. Looking forward to seeing your work!
