Volunteer: Graphic Designer Needed for an Animated Brand Asset

2 days ago

Los Angeles, California, United States Climate House US Full time

This is a volunteer opportunity provided by Taproot Foundation, a nonprofit creating social change through pro bono connections.

We are preparing for the soft launch of our organization, and require pro-bono support to put our best foot forward when we greet the world. We need a graphic designer to design a small suite of 'atmospheric' animations to become a core part of our brand identity. The design of the animation will complement our other brand assets and be integrated into some core brand communications material, including as part of a virtual business card, use on the website, and integrated into a deck that will give the feeling of a flip book. This might require creation of two complementary animation files: 1) A .mov file 2) A .gif with separate slides that give it a sort of flip book feel

This project is central to the launch of our organization. It will serve as the defining expression of our artistic vision and mission—a creative anchor in a time of rapid change and social and ecological challenge. Through this work, we establish the imaginative tone on which our organization is founded, inviting audiences into the dreamscape from which we aim to bring better worlds to life. This 'atmospheric' animation visually symbolizes how we understand climate change as the ambient, ever-present backdrop of all of our lives.

We will start with a call to discuss vision and possibilities. I have a rough sketch of the style of animation that we're envisioning, and I will deliver other brand assets as reference points for color and tone.

Climate House US ("Climate House") Mission: Climate House is a creative think tank using the arts to illustrate actionable pathways forward—and bring them to life. Our Mythos Embodied Climate: Climate change is not the abstract, technical issue it's often framed to be–but a universal, ambient one experienced through our bodies and daily lives. CH communicates using universal sensory language, to reintegrate our understanding of climate change as real in the felt sense, and as a core defining issue shaping everything around us. Universal Sensory Language: By speaking this universal language of the senses, we can communicate in a language everyone speaks and understands. This helps reframe climate as an everyone issue–providing an opportunity for the general public to reclaim their agency in understanding it and engaging with its solutions creatively, collaboratively, and meaningfully. Culture-First: Culture is the fabric of daily life. CH uses a broad suite of cultural tools to meet people where they are, designing programming that is audience-tailored and culture-first, recognizing this as the carrier oil for engaging with more complex topics. Show-not-tell: Because seeing is believing, we design programs that show, not tell. All of our programs are seared with a blueprint, grounding solutions on the experiential plane, allowing our audience to feel solutions that are so actionable, they can taste them.
