Red Angles Over a Dark Image for a Designer’s Pitch
A designer’s proposal is judged by its look. This cover uses sharp red angles, a dark abstract photograph and a big red PROPOSAL, with Prepared By at the top and Prepared For in white on the dark area. It suits freelancers and small studios pitching branding, packaging, web or print work.
Angles, Dark Photo and Two Blocks
The page is 8.5 x 11 inches, portrait, one page. Red corner triangles sit at the upper right and across the middle. The dark photo fills the lower third. A thin red line runs across the upper edge.
Title, Prepared By and Prepared For
FREELANCE GRAPHIC DESIGNER in dark grey sits above PROPOSAL in heavy red. PREPARED BY shows First, Last Name and Job Title Here. PREPARED FOR in white shows a name, title, company, address, phone and email. Replace the placeholders, and remove the square brackets from the company line.

Sending the Proposal as a PDF
Name the file with your name, the client and the project. Keep the size below five megabytes and check that the dark photo looks right on a phone. Follow up two days later with a short email.
Using Red Wisely in a Proposal
Red draws attention, so use it for headings and key figures only. A page covered in red tires the eye. Leave plenty of white in the body pages.
Preparing Samples to Attach
Choose three samples that match the client’s field and explain each in two sentences: the problem, your solution and the result. Relevance matters more than quantity.
