We are a leading dating application on Facebook ( http://apps.facebook.com/areyouinterested ) and we also have a stand-alone online dating site. We presently offer virtual gifts but are looking for new fresh content.

* What we're looking for:  

We want to create approx. 100-200 new virtual gifts to implement over the next month or so - and then continue to integrate fresh content on an ongoing basis periodically thereafter.  We're interested in working with one or several designers/illustrators on this project and it will be an ongoing project.

We're looking for mostly flash/animated gifts that are fun and sharp-looking in a variety of standard categories (flowers / jewlery / romantic / animals / cute / funny / sports /season & holiday etc).  Some standard images as well.  Most gifts should be universally applicable however we will be using some that are specificially targeted toward older or younger and male or female.  They should be sharp, bold, and professional looking.  Basically just fun and flirty as they will be used in place of, or in addition to, a flirt or a message between users that are interested in each other.  You can refer to Facebook's virtual gifts as an example for content.  

You would be responsible for all creative aspects.  As we move forward we can guide you on categories and show you examples but we primarily want artistsd who can come up with fun fresh designs on their own.  We would be expecting items that are plug & play so they are ready to go and can be plugged right into our system.

* Specifications:  

• Preferably Flash/animated – along with some standard images
• For Flash gifts we will need a “preview” image to go with it – meeting the same specifications as described below.  
• Transparent background
• Must be able to be legibly resized all the way down to 40x40 and enlarged to 300x300 (ie: they need to be vector, not bitmap, with an aspect ratio of 1:1)
• In cases that are gender specific, deliver two images, one that is girl-specific and one that is guy-specific
• Upon final delivery, we need both the AI file as well as the FLA file (assuming it is animated) - ie, we retain the rights to change things

* We'd like to see an example of two of work and if we like it we'd be interested in using you on an ongoing basis to continue creating content.  Please provide details on what you would charge on an ongoing basis (per gift design or just to create an assortment of 25-50-100 gifts) along with how quickly you could turn out an initial set of 25 or more.
