NEW CALL: Scrapdango Spring Design Team Search


Deadline: Friday, April 15, 2011

Scrapdango Spring Design Team Search
Term: May 2011-October 2011

Scrapdango is looking for enthusiastic artists to join its Design Team. Scrapdango is a monthly scrapbook kit club with exciting scrapbook kits and products from leading manufacturers. If you love scrapbooking and want to be on our Design Team, then please apply.

Design Team Applications are due no later than midnight April 15, 2011. Announcements will be made shortly after this. Our new designers will cover a six-month term beginning in May 2011 and will design with 6 kits through October 2011.

DT Expectations:

*Designers are required to submit a minimum of 3 layouts and an altered project or two-three cards each month. At least one of the layouts each month must be a two-page spread. Layouts need to be done in time for the design reveal on the 15th of each month. You will typically receive your kit around the 1st of the month and have two weeks to complete your projects for the reveal, but occasionally time lines may be shorter due to product availability. 12X12 layout size is preferred.

*Provide a sketch for at least one of your layouts each month. This is an extremely important part of the DT duties and must be completed in a timely manner each month so that I can get the design sheets that go out with the kits put together.

*Designers must also participate in posting QOTD/SQOTD and posting on the Scrapdango Blog based on a rotating schedule.

*Contribute monthly to the newsletter. Some months, you may not have to contribute but being ready with ideas for articles, tips and techniques, tutorials is helpful.

*Active participation on our Scrapdango Forum. Only those applicants who join and are actively participating on our Message Board will be considered. We want to have an opportunity to get to know you and for you to get to know our online community. This will help to assure a good fit.

*Must be 18 years of age or older.

These are some of the main DT requirements. For a full list of what we’re looking for and DT requirements, please see the DT call post on the boards. scrapdango.com…

Each Design Team Member receives a full kit (either Sugar or Spice) to create with each month.

This call is open to everyone, however international residents outside of Canada will be asked to pay a portion of the shipping on their kits. They will receive a $7.00 credit toward shipping and will be asked to pay for the remainder.

How to apply:

1) Name, Address, Phone, Email, and a short bio

10) Depending on the team chosen, I may appoint a Blog Coordinator and Newsletter coordinator. Please consider whether you are interested in applying for one of these and tell us which position(s) and your skills and experience related to the position(s).

Attachments:
