⚔️ Raid Guild Proposal <> Illustrations and Illustration Template for POKT Network ⚔️

Illustrations

Problem Statement:

The POKT Network currently faces inconsistencies in its visual assets across various platforms, such as Wonderverse Quest Bot, Discord, Twitter, and the website. This inconsistency indicates a lack of a coherent illustration template, which hampers the brand's ability to convey a unified visual language.

Hypothesis:

By establishing a coherent visual language system, we can facilitate decentralized iteration upon this framework, enabling it to better connect conceptual complexity with aesthetic coherence. This system will provide a clear guide on acceptable visual representations for future contributors, aligning all visual communications effectively.

Proposed Solution:

The project will unfold in several phases:

• Phase 1: Review and document the variety of illustrations currently used by POKT Network to understand and define the visual lineage and ensure coherence in future iterations.
• Phase 2: Develop a comprehensive visual language system by identifying key elements of existing illustrations and iterating upon them to establish a set of standards and semantic systems that can be easily adapted and extended.
• Phase 3: Produce an initial test for two high-quality illustrations tailored to specific needs such as banner images for the Wonderverse Bot flow, which will serve as practical examples of the new visual guidelines.
• Ongoing Production: Post initial deployment, continue to create illustrations as needed for various applications like Twitter, blog posts, and promotional materials, ensuring each fits the established visual language.
• Scope Clarification:
  • Focus on creating a visual language distinct from UI components; aimed at illustrations for broad use on social platforms and marketing materials.
  • Differentiates from Brand Evolution which focuses on UI elements for developers.
• Milestones:
  • Week 1: Pure aesthetic divergence to create content for stakeholder feedback.
  • Week 2: Converge on aesthetic directions to establish a foundational visual language.
  • Week 3: Sketch initial illustrations using the new visual language.
  • Week 4: Elevate sketches to high-fidelity and prepare for distribution in various formats.
• Deliverables:
  • Two high-quality illustrations after initial month, showcasing variations to demonstrate the visual language.
  • Post-first month, aim for the production of one new illustration per week, with a mid-term review for stakeholder approval.

Time and Budget Estimation:

• Initial Phases and Timeline:
  • Discovery and Analysis: 5 hours to consolidate and analyze existing illustrations.
  • Development and Buy-In: Additional discussions and sketches to ensure alignment with community and stakeholder expectations.
  • Illustration Production: Estimated 2 weeks for creation and refinement of initial suite of illustrations.
• Budget
• $3000 for the first month

Payment

Verified payment of 3000 wxDAI into RaidGuild's smart escrow service will initiate the project.

https://smartescrow.raidguild.org/
Raid ID:

Please connect with your EOA to submit payment into escrow.

Upon successful completion of deliverables, we will ask you to release the full funds in escrow.

In case of dispute

If you lose confidence in the Raid Party at any time, you may Lock the remaining funds in escrow.

If you do not release funds upon completion of deliverables, the Raid Party may Lock the remaining funds in escrow.

In both cases, the Lock triggers the arbitration provider (i.e., LexDAO) to review the dispute. Based on their review, the arbitration provider will decide which party should receive what amount of funds, and will send a transaction to the escrow contract that will transfer the appropriate amounts to each party.

We sincerely hope this won't be the case, but all parties are protected nevertheless.

We look forward to Raiding, please reach out with any questions or concerns!
