It is time again for the annual CX Design Team call. This is your opportunity to strut your stuff and hopefully land a place on our Design Team. This open call is the first step in our selection process. Here is what we’re looking for in designers and how to submit your entries. Happy scrapping!
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for strong designers with a commitment and passion for designing; for designers who have the ability to create strong, solid projects with elements of creativity and originality. We are also looking for designers who are versatile - who can successfully design anything from a set of cards to an altered home decor item and everything in between. And, of course, we are looking for designers who want to have fun and work hard!
Unfortunately, due to the loss of the CX community, there will be significant changes to the purpose and direction of the Design Team for the 2009-2010 season. More specific details on those changes will be sent during the second step of the process. These changes, however, will have some great benefits for the designers, including more recognition and better exposure than in past years.
This coming year CX will only be contracting 12 designers - so space will be limited. We will announce the 12 designers on the blog in August - we will also follow up with a personal email to designers selected - just to be sure they are notified.
How to Enter
If you are interested in trying out for the CreativeXpress Design Team, please send CX photographs of 3 projects that you feel demonstrate your creative ability, your design strength and your ability to execute a great project. Ask yourself ‘Does my project make my fingers itch to scraplift it?’ At this stage, your entry projects do NOT have to be newly created projects or projects created specifically for applying - you may use any projects you have designed. Also, in your entry email, include a paragraph or two about why you feel you would make a good addition to the team. What do you bring to the table that will help CX grow - in the blog and in the store? Send your entries to kriss@creativexpress.com. Please put ‘DT Entry’ as the subject line of your email. Entries must be received by July 31, 2009, no later than 9:00 am MST.
Note: Everyone who would like to be on the team next year must submit an entry, including those who are members of the current CX Design Team.
