Contest Brief

I'm seeking a talented graphic designer to create a captivating logo for my art-oriented Valentine's initiative, 'Painting is My Valentine'. The logo should feature a cartoon heart illustration, embodying the essence of love for painting.
I need a fun and vibrant digital illustration featuring a cartoon heart character painting on a canvas. The text should read:

“PAINTING IS MY” (bold red uppercase font)
“VALENTINE” (larger, bold red uppercase font)
Design Requirements:
✔ Main Character: A smiling, anthropomorphic red heart holding:

A paintbrush with blue paint
A wooden palette with multiple paint colors
✔ Background Elements:
A wooden easel with a canvas displaying a colorful painted tree
A red artist's beret on top of the easel
✔ Text:
“PAINTING IS MY” (thin, uppercase, slightly playful font)
“VALENTINE” (bold, eye-catching red font)
✔ Overall Style:
Bright, cheerful, cartoon-style illustration
Bold outlines and vibrant colors
Deliverables:
✅ High-resolution PNG & JPEG files
✅ Transparent background version
✅ Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG) for printing
✅ Source files (PSD or AI)

Key elements to consider:
- A whimsical, charming heart illustration, with a potential incorporation of art-related elements such as paintbrushes, paint splatters, or an easel.
- An appealing color palette, ideally incorporating classic Valentine's colors like red and pink, but with the potential for bold contrasts or modern twists.

Ideal candidates should have:
- A strong portfolio of logo and character design, particularly in creating cute, playful or vintage-style illustrations.
- Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator or similar graphic design software.
- Experience in working with art-oriented or Valentine's-themed projects would be a plus.
