Junior Graphic DesignertoucanBox (Dodadine Ltd.)
- London, United KingdomFull Time
toucanBox is an award-winning subscription company that produces children’s arts and crafts boxes. This includes craft materials and instructions for a project, plus a fortnightly magazine.
- I assisted the rebranding of the toucanBox magazine (a fortnightly release with a readership of over 45,000 across 4 languages). Focusing on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Maths) my aim was to help create bright, funny illustrations and layouts to inspire and educate children. The rebranding included everything from developing a new style guide and layout for the magazine, to designing brand new characters and packaging for the box and craft materials.
- Led monthly magazine projects from start to finish, from brainstorming and storyboarding, to execution of design (illustrating), proofing and preparing for print. Dealing with time management and leading a magazine every month enabled our team to produce two new
magazines per month which effectively increased the overall value of the product and increased retention.
- Assisted all and led two photoshoots. As a project leader for the Christmas Marketing Campaign, I led meetings, brainstorms, the photoshoot and created all assets for print, web and social media.
I also initiated and led the styling/concept, working very closely with the marketing team in order to get the best results in terms of acquiring and retaining customers, while following previously successful visuals and current marketing trends. Impressively, the Halloween campaign
I assisted acquired 17,000 new subscribers within the first two weeks of October 2018.
- Responsible for the communication between international and design team, leading all meetings, retrospectives, overseeing designs, proposals, and design training. Leading and initiating retrospectives after big projects allowed the teams to work more efficiently, and we, therefore, created more accurate and interesting designs in a timely manner.
