Teachers are needed at an art school called A Door Ajar School of the Arts in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Anything that can be seen as an art (from painting to poetry to Photoshop) is a possibility.

Social Marketing Graphic Designer

k8t — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 22:52:18 -0800

This job entails creating 2 pro-recycling posters targeted at junior and senior high school students. We'd like to create a prototype, test its effectiveness, and then create final posters which would then be hung up at a variety of schools. This is for an academic research study, so we're measuring pre-poster and post-poster knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. We've done research about what seems to be the most effective strategies to market recycling to young people, such as social norms, but we'd prefer to collaborate with someone who is familiar with social marketing theory, and optimally, with children's marketing. A great graphic designer/artist is wonderful, but a knowledge of marketing theory is also essential. If you're interested, please contact me and we can discuss in greater detail.

Kick-ass Graphic Designer / Web Designer

grumblebee — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 09:00:51 -0800

My company, Nabbr.com, is looking for an full-time, onsite designer. We already have two MeFite's working here. Let's make it a third! Our company is thriving, full of talented people, and never boring. If you join our team, each project you work on will be wildly different from the last one. You'll be working on our web site, developing unique graphics for our clients, and making images for our sales team to use in presentations. Most of our work involves promoting trendy products (bands, movies, video games, etc.) to young people, so you have to have a hip, cutting edge design style -- not a super-corporate one. Take a look at our homepage, nabbr.com, to see our current design aesthetic. You won't be locked into this (we want someone creative), but you should feel comfortable with the whole "web 2.0, rounded corner" thing. We'll need you to be able to create production-ready images, which means optimized and, if necessary, sliced. If you have any Flash, web-coding, or video skills, those are pluses, but they're not requirements. We pay well, and there's a possibility for equity in the company. Please do not contact us if you're a freelancer in another city. We only want to meet people willing to work in our office, which is in lower Manhattan. We will entertain the idea of relocating someone, if he or she is talented enough. If you're a pro, you already know this, but I need to see a portfolio.

Graphic Designer Needed

geryon — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 12:59:46 -0800

I need a new look for my theater directing portfolio. I could use some help in figuring out how to lay out the pictures, how to display them, maybe create some of kind of "brand identity" (ugh). I've got some big meetings in the next couple of months and I want to be able to clearly display my work in print and online, and I could really use someone to take a look at my work and critique it/help me design a better look for it. Email me for more details. I'd be great if you had a portfolio for me to look at first, but if you're young and looking for a portfolio builder, than this job could be right up your alley. Please also include a quote/hourly rate, etc.
