Introduction

This Request for Proposals (RFP) is actively seeking skilled designers with a flair for crafting intuitive and aesthetically pleasing interface designs. The project at hand involves the creation of a social media banner and avatar builder, along with a comprehensive suite of assets to enrich this tool, specifically tailored for Doodles OG holders. This initiative allows them to creatively utilize their exclusive Doodle IP in conjunction with the overarching Doodles branding for their personal social media platforms, enhancing their digital presence with a unique touch.

It is crucial for participants of this RFP to understand that the scope is meticulously focused on the initial stages of user experience research, interface design, copywriting, and asset creation. This foundational phase is essential, as it sets the groundwork for the subsequent development of the web application. Upon the successful completion of this phase, characterized by the delivery of finalized wireframes, mockups, and approved copy, we will launch a secondary RFP. This next step is aimed at the technical realization and development of the web application, based on the designs and specifications established in this initial RFP.

Our commitment to a design-first approach is deliberate. We believe that by prioritizing the design elements — from user experience research to interface design and content creation — we can achieve clarity and precision in the project's requirements. This clarity is invaluable, ensuring that the development team has a detailed and unambiguous blueprint to follow. Such an approach not only streamlines the development process but also significantly enhances the likelihood of achieving a product that meets or exceeds our community's expectations.

In summary, this RFP represents the first phase of a larger project, focusing on design and content creation. Its completion will pave the way for the technical development phase, with a separate RFP to follow. We are looking for designers who are not only talented but also passionate about contributing to the Doodles community, helping to forge a tool that will allow NFT holders to express their unique identities across social media platforms with ease and creativity.
