Kite maker seeks designs

HQ Kites & Designs USA is looking for artists to assist in the creation of graphics for a range of kite designs that are better suited to US consumers. HQ is a wholesaler of high quality kites, lawn and garden wind spinners, banners and toys. They are a subsidiary of a German company, and therefore, some of their existing designs are found to be outside the realm of American tastes by some of our customers.

The actual kite shape will be provided. The imagery to adorn the sails of the kites are where the help is required. This has the potential to be a long term relationship for the right freelance candidate. Compensation is negotiable and could include royalties.

Contact: Chris Shultz, Vice President of Sales, HQ Kites & Designs USA, Inc. 888 318 3600 or 757 819 7934. www.hq-kites-usa.com, www.powerkites.de
