Do NOT just send a generic application. To ensure you have read this entire post and have the attention to detail we need, you must follow the specific instructions at the bottom of this page.
About Us:
We are Rude Cosmetics. We believe makeup is a tool of self-expression, and our brand is built on being bold, edgy, and completely unapologetic. We are looking for a highly creative Packaging Designer who has their finger on the pulse of current beauty trends to help design our next viral products.
The Role:
We are looking for a trendsetter. Your primary goal is to design eye-catching, creative packaging that appeals to a younger, trend-conscious demographic (Gen-Z and Millennials).
Note: While you will need to know how to place your artwork onto a flat dieline template, you do NOT need to handle the deep technical prepress work or communicate with our overseas manufacturers. We have an in-house production manager to handle the factory side! We just need your creative vision.
Key Responsibilities:
> Creative Packaging Design: Design the visual covers, typography, illustrations, and overall aesthetic for upcoming eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks, and skincare lines.
> Trend Translation: Keep up with current makeup, fashion, and social media aesthetic trends (e.g., Y2K revival, Soft Goth, Monochromatic) and translate them into packaging concepts that fit the "Rude" brand.
> Dieline Layout: Take your beautiful artwork and lay it out cleanly onto provided dieline templates so our production team can take it to the finish line.
> Moodboarding: Help our creative team visualize new collections by putting together aesthetic mood boards and concept decks.
Requirements:
> Trend-Focused Portfolio: You must have a portfolio that shows you understand how to design for younger audiences. We want to see bold colors, great typography, and modern aesthetics.
> Packaging Experience: You must have experience designing physical packaging (unit cartons, boxes, labels) and know how to work within a dieline template.
> Beauty Obsessed: A strong understanding of the cosmetics industry and what catches a consumer's eye on store shelves and on TikTok/Instagram.
> Software Mastery: Expert level in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
> Bonus Skills: Basic 3D rendering skills to mock up your packaging concepts are a huge plus!
Working Hours & Pay:
> Hours: This is a long-term, part-time role (20 to 30 hours per week) with the potential to grow based on performance.
> Schedule: Flexible, but we require some overlap with PST (Pacific Standard Time) for quick communication and feedback.
Pay: $4.00 to $6.00 USD per hour, depending entirely on the strength of your creative portfolio and packaging experience.
