Fall 2008 Design Team Call - Stamping Team Only

 

The justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet (OBP) design team is refreshed every six months, with a call for new designers. We almost always change the format of our application process, as we refine it to find the balance between a reasonable amount of effort on each designer's part and our need to have adequate information to make decisions.

 

This term, we will evaluate design team applications in two rounds. In the first round, designers will submit work digitally (by email). In the second round, designers will be asked to complete specific projects and submit work physically (by snail mail).

 

We are accepting applications for the first round beginning immediately, and the final date we will be accepting applications is September 22, 2008. You are not required to use OBP images for the first round. The call is open worldwide, and there are no international restrictions.

 

The second round will be by invitation only, with designers selected from the first round submissions. You will be given specific assignment to complete, and submissions must be received by October 18, 2008. (Note: if you are not in the US, you may want to submit your Round 1 application earlier than the deadline to ensure that you have enough time to complete Round 2 if you are selected to continue.)

 

What You Need to Do to Apply - Round 1

  1. Email digital images of your cards to johanna@justjohanna.com.
  2. Send all four images in ONE email, with the subject line DT6 Application.
  3. Attach your completed questionnaire to your email OR paste the contents into the body of the email.
  4. Include the following information in the body of your email: Your full name, Your mailing address, Your phone number, Your email address.
  5. Include a brief introduction of yourself - what would you tell me about yourself if we just met. I'd like to get a sense of your personality from your introduction.
  6. Please pay attention to the instructions; ability to follow instructions is part of the evaluation process to determine whether you will be able to function on the team.

 

Guidelines for Submission - Round 1
  1. You are welcome to use stamps from ANY manufacturer. We love to see you using our products, but we're more interested in seeing the quality of your work.
  2. Samples should demonstrate consistency and innovative use of stamps.
  3. Samples must be neat and clean.
  4. Samples should showcase your personal style and be representative of your usual quality of work.
  5. Samples must not be larger than 500 pixels in any direction.
  6. Entries MUST be received by Monday, September 22, 2008. Late applications will not be considered.

 

Design Team Benefits
Each Design Team member will receive a Starter Kit, valued over $200. Each month, Design Team members will earn credit to shop the OBP catalog. Design Team members will be given a discount code for OBP purchases that they are permitted to share with friends and family.
 
Design Team Responsibilities
Design Team members will create approximately 6 original card designs per month. A document outlining assignment requirements and specific compensation will be provided if you are selected for the team. All samples created by the Design Team will become the property of justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet. In addition to monthly deliverable work, Design Team members are expected to submit work for publication and to post OBP projects regularly in online galleries.

Designers must be able to submit their best work consistently and to meet regular deadlines. Design Team term will end on May 31, 2009, and members may re-apply for the next term.

 

Good luck. Thank you for taking the time to prepare a thoughtful application.
