Waterfront Alliance Requests for Proposals for Design Services

Deadline extended until February 12.

Explore this website for background information.

Waterfront Alliance Brochure: Waterfront Alliance Brochure.

The Opportunity: The Waterfront Alliance is searching for a professional graphic designer with:

  • Understanding of marine industry and/or Portland Harbor;

  • Willingness to collaborate with and answer to a small group of volunteers;

  • Ability to deliver product within a few weeks and within a modest nonprofit budget.

First Assignment: to create a new logo for the Waterfront Alliance. The Logo campaign will be for digital and print applications, including an embroidered logo for a cap. The new graphic image should be visually effectively and reproduce well at various scales in both color and black & white.

Additional Potential Work: On an hourly basis, or as may be negotiated for a fixed fee, the Waterfront Alliance may seek additional work from the selected designer to create better design consistency between the new logo, the existing website, and print media.

  • Name (individual and/or organization) plus email, address & telephone;

  • Brief (one-page or less) cover letter describing a possible design approach;

  • 3-5 examples of logos or portfolio work; and

  • Link to the designer’s website.

Budget: Fixed rate for delivery of approved logo and an hourly rate for additional work requested by WAPH.
Please submit all material as a single combined PDF.
