Contest Brief

I'm looking for a designer to create a logo similar to a birthday-themed design I have in mind. The specifics of the design elements are open to your creative interpretation.
To create something similar to this birthday-themed design, here’s a breakdown of the key visual elements and steps to guide you:

Key Visual Elements:
Text:
Bold, colorful "BIRTHDAY" text in uppercase.
Gradient or multi-colored palette (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple).
Main Focus:
Artist’s palette with multiple paint splashes in different colors (red, blue, yellow, white, black, etc.).
Brushes sitting in the palette to reinforce the painting theme.
Number:
"10" is prominently displayed, often representing the birthday age.
Yellow font with a hand-drawn, playful style.
Background:
Paint splashes that look vibrant and dynamic in red, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
These splashes create movement and energy.
Style:
Cartoonish, hand-drawn illustration style with clean lines and bright colors.
Steps to Create a Similar Design:
Choose the Theme:
Confirm the subject (e.g., birthday age, art tools, hobbies).
For an artist-themed birthday, use palettes, brushes, or paint.
Typography:
Use bold, colorful fonts (like Comic Sans, Luckiest Guy, or Bubblegum Sans).
Apply a rainbow gradient for letters.
Main Illustration:
Draw an artist palette with paint blobs in bright primary colors.
Add paintbrushes, pens, or tools to match the creative theme.
Dynamic Background:
Add paint splashes or confetti around the palette for energy.
Use vibrant and diverse colors.
Include the Age or Name:
Place the age (e.g., "10") in a playful, large font on the illustration.
You can also include the child’s name or a short phrase like "Happy Birthday!"
Digital Tools:
Use Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate for clean vector-style art.
Draw individual components (palette, brushes) and layer them together.
Ideas for Variations:
Add balloons, ribbons, or birthday candles.
Use other themes like music notes, gaming controllers, or sports gear.
Incorporate personal touches such as the child’s name, favorite colors, or hobbies.
