(Washington, DC)
We're looking for a solid web designer.
Are you a web designer? Great!
Know that this job involves creating awesome websites in Photoshop, then working with our tech team to get them build. Knowing HTML/CSS is great, but not necessary, as you probably won't be doing much of this. We're looking for someone who is a web designer first and foremost. Flash is a plus, but we're really not looking for someone who designs all Flash websites.
We're a fast paced shop and have to do a little bit of everything, and we're looking for someone to come on-site on a contract basis, with a possible full-time hire down the road if the situation is right. We work with everyone from non-profits to Fortune 500 companies.
You should be comfortable:
- Designing carefully crafted websites in Photoshop that are usable while clean and interestingly designed.
- Selecting stock photography for sites based on meetings and memos.
- With feedback. We do client work and sometimes good work has to be changed to meet that client's needs, wants, or preferences.
- Our work is almost all covered under non-disclosure agreements, so you won't be able to show off work.
- With a Mac, and basic functions like installing fonts.
- Have a working knowledge of typography. What are your favorite fonts? You should know what tracking, line-height, and kerning are.
You should also:
- Be incredibly interesting, funny, and optimistic.
- Have the ability to remain calm in the untimely (and guaranteed) event of a quick turnaround project.
- Be able to laugh at yourself.
- Be a creative person. We're not looking for a pixel pusher. We are design nerds and it would help if you were too.
We are a fun group, and are looking to hire within the next few weeks.
This is a contract position (six month), and at the end of the term, if you're a good fit, we're looking to bring that person on full-time.
Job Perks: Fun, laughs, good pay, big brands, and happy hours!
Apply: Send your cover letter, resume, at least three examples of work you've done recently (or a link to a portfolio), and hourly $ requirements to the above email. If your work is a good fit, we'll get back to you quickly!
