New York Seasonal Jobs

Industrial Color is looking for a Packaging Designer to work onsite with our luxury beauty client, partnering with their in-house Creative Team. First and foremost, you are a Graphic Designer who loves all things packaging with a keen eye for layout, color, type, imagery, and patterns. This is not your typical Luxury Beauty brand. You are able to decipher and embrace their quirky brand codes and deliver designs per the brief, but also willing to push boundaries and innovate while respecting the integrity of the brand. You are conceptual, self-driven, and hands-on through to project delivery. This role operates in a hybrid work model with several days onsite in Greenwich Village and the balance of time remote.

• Team player who is comfortable working with both Creative and cross-functional team members.

• Attend meetings, work directly with Project Manager on project needs and timelines

• Effective verbal and written communicator

• Designers are expected to work on everything from line extensions and basic mechanicals to larger global hallmark programs; leave egos at the door

• Self-starter who is able to manage their own time; will be part a team but must have the drive to keep things moving

• Timelines are tight with very quick turn-around; we are looking for someone who can keep a cool head and is able to function in high-pressure situations

• Must have a great eye for color, able to review and provide feedback on color proofs, color matching samples, etc.

• Graphic Designer with at least 5 years of experience

• Portfolio demonstrates branding/graphic and packaging designs; show work relevant, but not limited to the Luxury Beauty/Fashion market

• Meticulous 2D rendering and concept retouching capabilities are a must

• Comfort and familiarity creating DTO’s (Design Turn-Overs); able to visualize packaging structures and construction and translate
