Ecsite is currently looking for designers to come up with a visual identity and a set of communication tools for our new EU funded project. SySTEM2020 is a research project related to science learning outside the classroom. For more information about the project please read the information in the Annex.

For the graphic image, the project will need the following:

• The visual identity for the project, including a logo, fonts, colour pallets, etc., as well as guidelines for the use and adaptation of this graphic identity.
• The following templates to be used throughout the project lifespan:
  • InDesign template to be used for public reports, toolkits and other project outcomes to be distributed to stakeholders and target audiences
  • Word template to be used for internal reports and deliverables
  • Power Point template for project presentations in conferences and meetings
  • Mailchimp template for electronic newsletter which aims to raise awareness about the importance of out-of-school learning and to inform about the research produced in the project

Note that in the current call we are looking for designers to create the visual identity of the project, however in November 2018 we will start working on the website and will be recruiting contractors to help us design and build the website.

The budget for the graphic identity and all templates is maximum €4 000 excluding VAT.

The deadline to apply is 23.59 CET on 9 September 2018, and the final delivery date for all requested materials is 22 October 2018.

• Itemized project budget
• Portfolio indicating examples of similarly-complex projects (including experience of building websites if any)
• Your proposal, including preliminary ideas for visual identity
• Project timeline with major tasks and milestones

Please send the document to Suzana Filipecki at sfilipecki@ecsite.eu by the deadline mentioned above.

Proposals will be assessed based in the following criteria:

• Price efficiency and effectiveness
• Demonstrated track record of working with similar complexity
• Excellent understanding and creative interpretation of the project
• Clear and well defined working process
• (Desirable) Preference would be given to studios who also have experience in building websites as this will be the next communication milestone of the project (in November 2018) .
