True Crime Social Media Carousel/Faceless Post Designer — (Template System + 100 Posts)

TRUE CRIME SOCIAL MEDIA CAROUSEL DESIGNER — TEMPLATE SYSTEM + 50 POSTS (ONGOING POTENTIAL) ------- ABOUT US ------- We're a fast-growing true crime streaming brand with 600+ original cases. We're scaling our organic social presence across Instagram, TikTok and Facebook and we need a designer with real editorial taste to build a reusable template system and then batch-produce a library of faceless carousels and static posts that we'll schedule across all of our channels. ------- WHAT THIS IS NOT ------- This is NOT super generic Canva work. Our aesthetic is clean, minimal, cinematic, and tightly branded — think Crime Junkie's level of grid consistency. Dark/black backgrounds, bold all-caps hooks, one accent-color highlight, and archival-photo treatments. If your portfolio is busy, cluttered, or looks templated, we're not the right fit for each other. ------- OUR BRAND SYSTEM ------- We'll provide a full brand guide plus reference posts. The system is simple and strict: Font: Proxima Nova — Bold and Regular weights only. Text: white or black, with ONE key phrase per hook highlighted in our brand red (#EE4354). Backgrounds: dark/black, cinematic. Consistent label pills (case name, [strong hook], [listicle], etc.), white rounded hook boxes, and our brand watermark/wordmark anchored at the bottom or top of every post. Every post names a specific case or series. ------- SCOPE OF WORK — PHASE 1 ------- 1. Design approximately 10 reusable carousel/post templates (4–6 slides each) based on our brief. Each template needs a cover/hook slide, interior layouts, and a closing CTA slide that leads people to our app (what to search in the App Store, the app icon, CTA to download the app) 2. Once templates are approved, produce 100 complete carousels and static posts using them. We supply the copy, case content, and can link you to the source imagery (we have a full asset library) or just web search — then you handle layout, cover image, and visual polish. 3. Every post must have a strong cover image, correct dimensions for Instagram and TikTok, and 100% brand consistency. 4. Deliver organized, export-ready files (PNG/JPG) into a shared Google Drive for our social media manager to easily download and upload to publish on the platforms. ------- YOU'RE A GREAT FIT IF YOU ------- -Have a portfolio of clean, editorial, scroll-stopping carousels (real client work, not marketplace templates). -Own Proxima Nova or can license/match it precisely. -Work fast and consistently at volume and follow a brand guide exactly. -Communicate clearly and hit deadlines. ------- HOW TO APPLY ------- Please submit ONLY the following. Applications missing any item will not be considered: 1. RELEVANT SAMPLES ONLY — 3 to 5 carousel/social design samples that match this style. PLEASE do not send unrelated work. It won't be considered. 2. LINKS TO LIVE ACCOUNTS — links to the actual social media accounts/pages where your posts have been published. 3. YOUR QUOTE — your specific flat quote for this exact scope (10 templates + 100 posts). 4. START DATE — when you can begin. 5. TIMELINE — how long you expect the full Phase 1 batch to take. Put the word "COLDCASE" at the very top of your proposal so we know you read this. ------- LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITY ------- Strong performers move to an ongoing monthly batch arrangement. We produce a high volume of content and want a reliable, long-term design partner. Looking forward to seeing your work! Thanks!
