My New Job - EYEKO!

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 20, 2009, 10:32 AM
  • Listening to: K-On! Don't say "lazy"
  • Watching: K-On!
  • Drinking: Water
Hello all! I have some news and yep, it's exactly what the title says but I'll explain further~

I'm now an in-house designer & illustrator for Eyeko Beauty! For those who are unaware, they are a London based cosmetics company selling various products with a focus on cute Manga-inspired packaging. Their makeup is available to order online (with free shipping anywhere) but also available at most Superdrug stores.

Eyeko made their first promo appearance at IMAF (2004 or 2005, I forget...I recall seeing their brand for the first time at one of those events) and attend London Expo regularly.

It has been 2 weeks since they hired me, and in that time I've been really busy doing a lot of graphic design stuff and preparing new products for the Japan Expo in Paris happening on the 2 - 5th July 2009 (tight!!).
I'll be attending this expo and selling goods at the Eyeko stand! I'm really excited, I've never been to Paris before o__o

If you wanna know how I got the job, here's a little story: I entered Eyeko's Manga Competition (I submitted mine for the original May deadline!). Eyeko saw my entry, and noticed the link to my website in my signature. They saw more of my work at Ciel-Art.com and really liked my stuff, then arranged to meet up with me and view my portfolio. We got talking and they offered me the job there and then XD I couldn't believe it. This is exactly the kind of job I've been wanting to do forever, and it just landed in my lap.

My very first task in this job, was to update the Eyeko head logo. They wanted to improve it, not change it entirely. Here's the new version which I've created, and all of Eyeko's products will gradually switch over to the new logo~!


Although my main role is designer/illustrator I also have tons of other responsibilities such as updating/managing all their social networking accounts (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Vox, YouTube), uploading/managing new content for their main website, answering people's enquiries about the Eyeko Ambassador program, promoting the brand on various forums, researching any and all relevant manga events to exhibit at, appearing at these events and selling products at the Eyeko booth, liaise with suppliers, write the theme tune, sing the theme tune...

Since I'm now an Eyeko staff member, it means I'm disqualified to win the competition *sob..lol* Contest now open til the end of June, so good luck to everyone else~~!! I will be working closely with the winner in creating the packaging for the limited edition Eyeko product. I look forward to finding out who the winner is ^^

So yeah...that's my exciting and epic announcement. Sorry if it was "tl;dr" ^^' I'll be happy to answer any questions regarding Eyeko~! Thanks for reading.
