geryon — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:35:17 -0800

I'm looking for someone to help me spice up my index-exhibit portfolio. Nothing too fancy, just a couple hours to help it look a little easier on the eyes. Basically just modifying my style sheet-shouldn't take too long, and it can be fun, it doesn't have to be one of those fuddy-duddy portfolio sites. Check out the existing site here

Graphic Designer / Production Artist

Optimus Chyme — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 19:30:06 -0800

We're looking for a part or full-time graphic designer / production artist to start in the new few weeks. Good communication skills are a must, as is the ability to crank out "basic" stuff that won't win awards. I'll be frank, this is a production-oriented position, not a design position, although a good eye is still needed to excel. Experience needed in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat. These are must-haves. InDesign and Flexisign are both big pluses. If you already know the basics of large-format printing and vinyl plotting, that's great, too. We have a lot of great clients around the city and we get to work on fun, ambitious projects. Please send your résumé, and a link to your portfolio (or attach it as a PDF) if you have one.

Contract -- Site design for web application

hayvac — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 07:58:48 -0800

I am an individual (not a company) looking for a web designer to create final mock-ups of pages for a web application I'm trying to build. The back-end is already in development. You would be following my spec sheet (already written) to create graphics and workflow that I can provide to a web programmer to get the XHTML templates for the back-end to spit out. You would basically be designing the application UI and ancillary pages (such as the login page, etc.). If you can do standards-compliant CSS/XHTML in addition to design, that's great! We can negotiate for the whole job. I am looking for someone in the $20-50/hour range, but I'm willing to negotiate. Rate will be based on your experience, your portfolio, how much I think I'll like working with you, and how in sync we appear to be over design principles. I don't anticipate that the contract will be for more than 30 hours, but I'm open to explanations about why that's wrong. More specifically, I want you to -review my design documents and ideas and give me feedback on what you think works and what doesn't; -based on these conversations, create PSD (or other graphic) files and workflow (descriptions of what does what) that I can give to my programmer; and -select and deliver graphics for the site. Ideally, the site will be extremely simple in design (lots of whitespace, few links on each page, etc.), but I understand how complicated it can be to create visual simplicity. Graphics will be minimal (logo and navigational icons only, probably). Requirements: -No minimum level of experience required, although don't bother applying if you can't show me SOMETHING that indicates the quality of your work. -You must be willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement and assignment of copyright. -You must be very responsive to e-mail communications. -You must be professional and have the energy and will to create a great design for me. Preferences -Located in Toronto. I actually don't care where you live if you're responsive to e-mail and won't disappear once paid.

moderately priced web designer to make minicomics website

hungrytiger — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 23:50:02 -0800

I want to make a personal site to display and sell minicomics. I would like it to be nicer than what I can make using Googlepages, duct tape, and tears, but it doesn't have to be a masterpiece either. I'm thinking of a five-page brochure-style website with one of the "pages" being a wordpress/comicspress blog, and a front page where the "buttons" are drawings I made.

I'd love to have someone build a set of detailed treehouse plans from a sketch. I'd want a set of almost architectural drawings (doesn't need to be perfect), step by step construction instructions, and a listing of material needed. Enough so someone could use it as a set of instructions to build the thing. Treehouse would look like this. Would love some estimates. Thanks in advance!

Visual identity for comedy group

tweebiscuit — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 22:03:08 -0800

My comedy group needs a new visual identity, including but not limited to a new logo, graphics, website look-and-feel, and general visual aesthetic. We're looking for an experienced, creative designer with a fresh sensibility -- someone who can get a feel for our work and provide us with a complete, distinct visual package that complements what we do. We're based in New York, but you don't have to be. Get in touch and we'll talk!

I need a new website for my business.

vito90 — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:20:01 -0800

Nothing fancy. I own two pet stores in Seattle, WA. We haven't updated our site (www.petsenergy.com) since we expanded and it's hopelessly obsolete. We don't need anything cutting edge but we definitely need to upgrade it. I am open to any creative ideas. We of course will provide all the copy and photographs, etc. We also need to make our store more prominent when people search on the web. I've budgeted money for the job and would be pleased to supplement that with bartered pet food and supplies if that's feasible. Thanks!

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.
