Clementine Paper creates fresh, fun and fashionable eco-friendly notebooks, stationery, gift wrap, greeting cards, paper tableware, planners and various paper-based office products for mass retailers such as Target and TJ Maxx. We are looking for a talented Illustrator/Graphic Designer who has a demonstrated background in surface illustration and design for consumer products.
The job entails creating original artwork for a variety of seasons and holidays, for a range of consumer ages from Baby to Adult, which you will then apply to our various paper products. Our current team of illustrators work both digitally and with traditional mediums, so we are open to your preferred methods, but you should be able to manipulate your artwork (and that of others) in photoshop as that our primary platform.
The ideal candidate will have a trend-driven sensibility that is still warm and appealing to a mass market customer. We are looking for someone with experience not only in creating artwork, but also applying it to various product types, which may also involve creating repeat patterns. Graphic design and layout are key skills used in this position, and typography skills are a definite plus.
Position Responsibilities:
• Create new artwork and patterns or manipulating existing art to be applied to various products
• Trend and market research
• Prepare production-ready files for paper products, using Illustrator and Photoshop on a Mac platform
Qualifications:
• 5-10+ years of experience, preferably in consumer products.
• Thorough knowledge of printing processes and requirements.
• Highly proficient in Adobe Creative Suite on a Mac platform
• A great eye for color and trend
• Excellent communication skills
• Must be self-motivated and be able to handle multiple projects at the same time.
• Great can-do, positive attitude, ready to chip in on any project as needed.
Please include link to portfolio or attach samples of your work.
