Project Title: Custom Paper Coffee Cup Design for “Sage” I’m looking for a creative packaging/graphic designer to develop a unique takeaway paper coffee cup design for my brand, Sage. I already have the logo and brand color (soft sage green), which I will provide. The concept I want is: * A minimal, elegant and premium-looking sage green paper cup with the Sage logo. * I do not want a slogan printed on the outside — I want the exterior to stay very clean and minimal. * The special feature is a hidden message printed on the inside of the cup. * As the customer finishes their drink, they discover a small positive/fun message inside, such as “You’re doing great ♡”. * I would like several different hidden messages so customers can receive a different one each time. * I’m also open to creative ideas such as a peel/tear-away section or another interactive element that reveals a message, as long as it can realistically be manufactured on a disposable paper cup. * The design should feel modern, sophisticated, warm and Instagrammable, rather than overly colorful or busy * Cup sleeves/holders – design a branded cardboard cup sleeve that complements the cup without making the overall look too busy. * Drink carrier/cup holder – a design for the takeaway carrier used for 2 or 4 drinks, incorporating the Sage branding in a creative but minimal way. * Tissues/napkins – branded Sage napkins/tissues. I would like something more creative than simply placing the logo in the center; the designer can explore subtle messages, typography or small graphic details. The entire collection should feel like one cohesive brand: sophisticated, minimal, warm, modern and slightly playful. I want customers to recognize Sage packaging even without seeing a large logo. I’m looking for someone who can bring creative ideas of their own, not simply copy the reference images. Additional Requirements: I do not want AI-generated designs or AI-generated artwork. The designs should be originally created by the designer, with proper attention to branding, typography, layout and production requirements. The final editable and print-ready files should then be provided after confirmation.

CH, before you vote on anything, you're going to get Many HUNDREDS of entries and most will be AI generated, 99% AI. These scammers paste your brief into an AI generator and submit whatever it produces, within seconds. No creativity, no craft, no human input whatsoever. A genuine hand crafted design takes real time and skill, and that always shows in the final work. This is why so many entries look virtually the same, AI is entirely limited to the words you provided and nothing beyond. Watch out for rapid consecutive entries too, that's a telltale sign of an AI spammer. IF ENTRIES LOOK THE SAME, YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER. ALSO PLEASE NOTE!!! AI-generated images carry zero copyright protection, leaving any third party free to replicate the design, which could lead to legal disputes over ownership or usage rights down the line.
