Minimalistic LinkedIn visual + short animation (Chaos vs Flow / trains / process logic)

Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

I am looking for a clean, minimalistic static visual plus a subtle short animation (10–15 seconds). IMPORTANT: - Final output text must be in German (exact wording below) - Instructions and communication will be in English - Target audience: management / executive level (LinkedIn) ____________________________________ CONTEXT: This visual is about a production system with many parallel processes (thousands of train movements per day). Therefore: → Do NOT show just one simple train situation → We want to show a SYSTEM working (multiple trains) ____________________________________ CORE IDEA (CRITICAL): It is NOT a resource problem. It is a SYSTEM problem. Same elements are present on both sides. Only their arrangement changes. → Chaos = same elements, wrong arrangement → Flow = same elements, correct arrangement ____________________________________ LAYOUT: - Square format (LinkedIn) - Split screen: LEFT = CHAOS RIGHT = FLOW ____________________________________ LEFT SIDE (CHAOS): - Background: very light grey (slightly reddish optional) - Elements: - Several Tetris-like blocks (few colors) - Blocks are scattered, slightly rotated, do not fit together - Some look like they almost fit but are misplaced - Trains: - 2–3 small schematic trains - NOT moving / blocked - No structure / no flow line German text: CHAOS Viele starten. Nichts wird fertig. ____________________________________ RIGHT SIDE (FLOW): - Background: very light green or blue - EXACT same blocks as left side - Now perfectly aligned and connected - Clear structure / line - Trains: - 2–3 schematic trains - Moving smoothly Important: The arrangement of the blocks ENABLES movement. German text: FLOW Im Takt. Alles greift ineinander. ____________________________________ TOP TEXT (German): Es ist einfach, aber nicht leicht. BOTTOM TEXT (German): Nur was stabil ist, kann man verbessern. ____________________________________ STYLE: - Minimalistic - Elegant, not playful - Executive / business style - NO cartoon look - Max 4–5 colors - Clean, structured, no visual overload ____________________________________ TRAINS / COLOR: - Trains should be schematic (simple shapes) - Colors inspired by Austrian passenger rail (ÖBB style) - Ideally 3 different trains (suggestion): - high-speed style (railjet-like) - regional style (cityjet-like) - night train style (nightjet-like) No photorealism needed – simple, recognizable abstraction. ____________________________________ KEY VISUAL MESSAGE: Do NOT make it look like: → “one train is easy to organize” It should communicate: → many parallel movements require a working system ____________________________________ ANIMATION (SUBTLE): Animate ONLY the RIGHT side. Sequence: 1. Start: - Left side static - Right almost aligned 2. Movement: → One block slightly moves into correct position → small “snap-in” moment 3. Effect: → structure becomes clear 4. Result: → multiple trains start moving smoothly Goal: → alignment creates movement ____________________________________ DELIVERABLES: - 1 static graphic (PNG) - 1 animation (MP4 or GIF – whichever works best for LinkedIn) - Editable source file REQUIRED ____________________________________ PROCESS: 1. First delivery: static graphic only 2. After approval: animation ____________________________________ REVISION: - 1 round of revision must be included ____________________________________ RIGHTS (IMPORTANT): - Full commercial usage rights must be included - All rights must be transferred to me ____________________________________ TO REDUCE ITERATIONS: Please confirm in your proposal: - You understand that the same elements must be used on both sides - You understand that this is a system concept (not just animation) Please also include: - 1–2 relevant portfolio examples - Which tools you use - Delivery time (preferably within 3 days)
