Papericious Design Team Call - 2016 - 2017

Hello all Papericious fans!

We're thrilled to announce our 2016 Design Team call. If you've ever been interested in joining our team, now is the time! We're looking for talented, committed, creative designers who love our products. Our designers are expected to create 2-3 projects per month and post their masterpieces to social media.

Why should I apply?

•  You’ll receive a box of goodies after each paper product release several times per year. Design Team members will receive every single product released during term at no cost.

• Design team members will be given a 10% team discount to shop for products for personal use ONLY.

•  Promotion of your name/work on our Blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and website

•  A custom designed watermark and blog badge to display on your blog/website/social media accounts.

We're looking for people who . .

•  You must be able to commit to a team - many people underestimate how important this is.

•  You must be able to post at least one project every 2 weeks and an additional project here and there as and when required. (One will be an inspiration post, and one a detailed tutorial post)

• The ability to create ONE detailed pictorial or video tutorial, once every month showcasing Papericious products. (This will be ONE of your TWO posts that you are assigned to create every month)

• You must be able to create one project for each new product brought to market during a new release (items can be combined together and often used together) 

• You will also have to create one additional project for our challenges. Since the challenges are hosted by ONLY 2 Design Team members every month, each member will have to do this post ONCE in every 4-5 months approximately

• You must be able to complete projects on time to deadline!

• Photos - you MUST be able to take good photos of your work. Your photos represent our products and they need to be a good standard to showcase them properly.

• Blogs and Social Media - you MUST have a blog which is updated regularly and be present on Social Media - or if you're not you must be willing to be involved in Social Media. This includes Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.

• We expect our Design Team Members to take part in group discussions, and give us constructive feedback about our products. We also would expect you to actively promote Papericious wherever possible – it may be your Blog, Facebook page, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.

• You must able to commit to at least a 6 month term - longer is preferable.

• We look for variety within the team so it's not always about having the best of everything in one person - we want you to show how versatile our products are.

(Optional) 

•  Samples – we are a high profile company and we need people who can make physical samples (if you’re in India). (You will be reimbursed in form of Papericious products or be paid for them).
