Kinetic Universe, the nonprofit organization that produces the Kinetic Grand Championship, is accepting applicants from artists to design the poster and merchandise for the 2024 Kinetic Grand Championship.
This is a contracted position and is paid a flat fee upon completion of the work. In addition to creating the event poster, the artist will provide elements from the poster for use on social media, the race website and print ads. The artist will also use the poster design to create the volunteer t-shirt and event t-shirt with sponsor logos on the back. Applicants should be familiar with the work of Kinetic Universe and have a general understanding of the Kinetic Grand Championship. Race posters and merchandise should be bold, convey a feeling of fun and the ideal designs will reference past or current racers and/or their machines. The designer should be comfortable with digital design, receiving feedback and meeting deadlines.
Send your proof of concept and at least two samples of your work to karincolumbell@kineticuniverse.org by Dec. 31 for consideration. Kinetic Universe reps will review all candidates and interview the top choices over Zoom in the second week of January. If a candidate is not chosen to design the poster, there still may be opportunities for the candidate to design other merchandise.
