Job Description
This role is for a skilled illustrator to create a modern 2D flat cartoon group portrait featuring a woman, her husband, and their cat. The artwork will be approximately 50 x 40 cm in portrait format, designed in a simple, mid-century-inspired style with colourful yet muted, soft tones. The illustration should capture personalized facial details and incorporate flowers and meaningful items around the subjects to enrich the composition. Reference images will be provided to guide the style and personalization. This is a personal commission with a firm deadline for delivery by May 2027.
Responsibilities
- Design and illustrate a group portrait in a modern 2D flat cartoon style, following mid-century inspiration.
- Incorporate personalized facial features and small, meaningful items and flowers around the subjects.
- Use a colour palette of muted, soft tones to achieve the desired aesthetic.
- Ensure the composition is balanced and visually engaging, filling the portrait space effectively.
- Collaborate with the client to review reference images and integrate feedback.
- Deliver the final artwork in high-resolution digital format by the agreed deadline.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
