Graphic Designer (SAS/Print Final Art)
About the role
As Graphic Designer (SAS/Print Final Art), your mission is to produce print-ready final art across Lovepop’s physical touchpoints - insert cards, seasonal catalogs, and packaging artwork - and to lead the visual production for the Design Sentiment Card (SAS) line, including print files and Photoshop-automated Product Detail Page galleries on lovepop.com.
Accountabilities
- Final Art: Insert Cards, Catalogs & Packaging (50% of time)
- SAS - Design Sentiment Card Program (40% of time)
- Digital & PDP Visual Backup (10% of time)
Produce print-ready final art for Lovepop’s physical touchpoints: insert cards that ship inside every order, multi-page seasonal catalogs, and packaging artwork. Own the end-to-end pre-press workflow - CMYK color setup, bleed and trim accuracy, die-line precision, pre-flight checks in Acrobat Pro, and clear handoff to the factory or print vendor. Resolve technical print issues quickly so production cycles never stall.
Lead the visual production for Lovepop’s Design Sentiment Card line: graphic design for each Sentiment Card SKU, print-ready final art for the factory, and Photoshop automation (actions, batch scripts, variable-data templates) to generate Product Detail Page galleries on lovepop.com at scale. Maintain visual consistency across the Sentiment Card library while keeping each card emotionally resonant for its occasion or sentiment.
Back up the Graphic Designer (Digital) on PDP visuals, hero images, and storytelling assets when the digital queue spikes. Ensure brand consistency between digital and print outputs by being fluent in both worlds.
