About

I’m looking for an illustrator to create the main artwork for a whisky bottle label. Please note: I only require the illustration/picture element. All legal details (ABV, volume, bottler, etc.) and layout will be added later, so I'll need the raw file. Scope: One central illustration to feature on a whisky label. Style: I’m open to different illustration approaches — hand-drawn, painterly, or bold graphic. The most important thing is that the artwork looks striking at bottle scale and works within a warm whisky palette (golds, deep oranges, dark tones). Motifs / Themes: I’m open to ideas. Possible directions could include whisky-related imagery (casks, drams, barley - no stock images), something inspired by Scottish/Highland heritage, or a more abstract/celebratory theme. I’d love to see your interpretation of what would work best on a whisky label. Design Considerations: The artwork will appear on a whisky label alongside text set in Raleway (our main brand font). Please ensure your illustration style complements this clean, modern typeface. Size/format: template will be provided. Must look clear and impactful when printed. Deliverables: 1 high-resolution final artwork, CMYK, 300dpi. Editable raw file (AI, EPS, PSD, or layered TIFF) so I can add final details later. All commercial rights transferred upon payment - no ongoing credit or usage requirements. Budget: £150–£200 fixed price. Deadline: Final artwork must be delivered by Monday 22nd September. Please only apply if you can meet this deadline. What I’m looking for: Strong illustration skills - please share 1–2 examples of past work that you think would suit a whisky label. It doesn’t need to be packaging - just work that shows the style and quality you’d bring to this project. Ability to deliver polished work to a tight deadline. Clear, responsive communication. To apply: Confirm you can deliver the raw, editable file. Share 1–2 examples of relevant past illustration work. Confirm you can meet the deadline of Monday 22nd September and the fixed budget.
