Dear Candidate,
We highly appreciate your interest in our company and this particular job opportunity of Print On Demand Designer here **at **TheSoul Publishing Group.
We’re launching a 5-Minute Crafts collection on Spreadshirt, a print-on-demand platform that lets customers apply custom designs to apparel and items of their choice. We’ve got our first 12 designs up in our showroom, and we want to launch more. That’s where you come in!
What We’re Looking For:
- Trend Awareness: You know what's hot and what's not. Your designs should resonate with what's trending right now.
- Fresh Creative Perspective: We want new ideas for our merch designs — something fun, relatable, and trending. Your designs should stand out and be something people can connect with in their everyday lives.
- Broad Appeal: Your designs need to resonate with large audiences, with the potential to go viral and sell quickly. Think of designs that people would love to share, show off and gift to their friends.
- Print on Demand Experience: You should have a good grasp of the print on demand market and know how to design for products that customers love.
- 5-Minute Crafts Vibe: While your designs don’t need to feature the 5-Minute Crafts logo or directly relate to DIY or crafting, they should still visually align with the 5-Minute Crafts style and vibe (you can find 5-Minute Crafts Brand Book attached below, please feel free to download it to get more inspiration and references).

- Collaborate with our team to ensure designs align with brand guidelines and market trends.
- Work on a project basis with the potential for future projects, with a fixed price per approved designs.
You have an interesting profile for this role, and we are excited to invite you to perform a test task, that will help you demonstrate your professional expertise, vision, and skills.
We are confident you will enjoy performing the task and we, in our turn, will be able to see how well you understand the position and style we need.
Test Task Instructions 🚀

💡 We would like you to create and share 2-3 design concepts based on the requirements outlined above. These designs should be presented as concept mock-ups in color, not final designs. The goal is to understand your creative vision, design style, and thought process.
Please avoid using DIY or crafts themes, as we're trying out new ideas. At the same time, the designs should follow our brand book to keep the style and feel consistent. This way, we can stay true to our brand while exploring new directions.
