<![CDATA[New company in need of an industrial design artist to help visualize the facility layout and aesthetic features. The director of this project already has a good idea of what he wants, but he needs someone who can translate these images into a physical drawing. Most of these drawings will be cabinetry and optimizing space in the building. The artist not only needs to take direction well, but also be able to enhance the project with creative input. What we are going for is a very hi-tech module for the aerospace industry. Requirements Please send a samples of your artwork or a link to your online portfolio. Hand-drawn sketching ability is mandatory. (Transferring those images to digital is secondary). If all you know how to do is create art on the computer, please do not reply to this ad. This particular project does not require an extremely high-level design aspect and needs to be finished within a timely manner. We are open to variable levels of compensation. Please understand that since this project is not extremely detailed or complicated, we will not be paying for an over-the-top design presentation. We appreciate artistic talent and passion for your work, but if you just came out of school and are only focused on billing your client, do not waste our time. This is a single-project opportunity, although depending on the artist's performance could become a foot-in-the-door situation. We are a fast growing company, so other design opportunities may arise.]]>

<![CDATA[A graphic designer is needed to help design a CD cover and insert for a singer/songwriter album. I'm open to designers of all skill levels, but the person should have an existing portfolio. Compensation would come in the form of cash and a nice "plug" inside the CD jacket for your work. I'm looking for someone who has a knack for creating unique yet mass-appealing layouts/branding - someone with their own style. The CD replication company provides templates for use with Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, QuarkXPress and Macromedia Freehand. Depending on the outcome, this may turn into additional work in the form of website design and general branding. This may be ideal for someone in their final year of graphic design or someone just looking to expand their portfolio. While there isn't necessarily a budget to afford a full-time graphic designer's pay on this, I'm very open to paying up to several hundred dollars and include a good reference to your work on the CD insert. I'm also open to someone who hasn't necessarily been designing for years and years, but who's got a portfolio that shows talent and a good eye. If interested, please respond and make sure to provide a link to some of your work. Thanks, in advance, for your time. ]]>

As street and door to door canvassers, we engage with individuals from all walks of life, informing them about the important work of the nonprofit organizations we represent and recruiting new members. In the past we've worked for organizations such as Doctors without Borders, Save the Children, the Canadian Cancer Society and ForestEthics.

What’s new is old, we concentrate on what’s next. We produce over 25 TV spots a year for T-Mobile alone. They want great work. Push us hard. They’re also incredibly innovative. The opportunity. We’re surrounded by the Googles, Nintendos, Microsofts, Amazons, Starbucks and the rivers, lakes and mountains. In short, we’re naturally drawn to the Next Big Thing. Who you are. • Senior level retail Art Director/Designer with at least five years experience. • Experience in-store and/or with newspaper (preferably newspaper). • Able to work within tight deadlines. • Great with clients.
