Kaleem Ullah T.
Children's Book Illustrator | Storybook & AI Art | UI/UX (Figma)
Top Rated Plus children's book illustrator with 70+ jobs and a 4.9 rating from 47 reviews. I create storybook illustrations, consistent characters and book covers for authors and publishers, using Photoshop, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and Nano Banana, ready for print and Amazon KDP. I design and animate the on-screen graphics that make videos look finished: lower thirds, title cards, infographics, thumbnails and brand kits in Figma, brought to life with motion in After Effects. Video graphics in Figma • Lower thirds, title cards, end slates and pull quotes • Brand guideline kits: your fonts, color palette, spacing and 1080p / 16:9 specs on every frame • Infographics and text frames, ready for animation • YouTube and video thumbnails • Organized Auto Layout components and clean exports (SVG, PNG, PDF) Motion in After Effects I'm proficient in After Effects for practical, on-brand motion: • Animated titles and lower thirds • Logo animations and transitions • Simple 2D animation for intros and social clips • Kinetic type and text animation • Video editing in Premiere Pro, plus 3D renders in Blender Portfolio highlight: my "Video Graphics Kit: Lower Thirds, Brand Kit, Infographics & Motion" includes a 38-second 1080p motion reel and 5 live Figma files you can open and inspect. How I work: a fast first frame so you can react early, then organized, clearly named source files you can reuse. I can hand static frames to your animators or take a piece through motion and editing myself. AI art and children's book illustration I also create AI-assisted artwork and children's book illustration with Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Nano Banana and Grok, keeping characters consistent on every page. Recent work includes a 12-story illustrated Celtic book series and KDP picture books. Tools: Figma, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Blender, 2D animation tools, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Nano Banana, Grok. Upwork Generative AI Skill Certification. I use AI tools openly and always follow each client's preferences on AI use. Send me your brief or brand guide through Upwork messages and I'll send back a first frame showing how I'd approach it.
