NewSpring Art Director/Designer Job Opening
The short:
Are you a Photoshop-wielding, bezier-curve-drawing, typography-knowing, web-culture-loving, detail-sweating, direction-taking art director/designer?
The long:
You do jaw-dropping, killer print work. You have more than one good comp in you for any given idea/assignment. You work fast, handling everything from idea to implementation. You work well in the lead owning a project. You work well on a highly-collaborative team. You take creative direction with a smile, and then you make it better because you’re that good. You have an extraordinary mastery of typography, layout, and minimizing clutter. You know when to use Photoshop, when to use Illustrator, and when to use InDesign. You read. A lot.
Bonus point gold star cookies if you know some CSS/XHTML/PHP, can write more than your grocery list, and you throw down a mighty iTunes Library gauntlet.
If you don’t have an online portfolio, you are not our Art Director. If you have 1200 free fonts on your computer, you are not our Art Director. If you have a design diva ego, you are not our Art Director. If you had to Google "bezier curve," you are not our Art Director.
Let’s see that portfolio URL. No phone calls please.
P.S. We’re a church, so that obviously presents the proviso that you have to be a Christian. This is also an on-site job; so no remote workers. We want you to be a part of the culture everyday.
This is a great description of the kind of guy/gal you’re looking for. But, I thought that Joshua Blankenship was filling this position?
Yep, we need his alter ego. In order for us to go where we need to go, Joshua will be focusing on web. We need someone to pick up where he leaves off on the design side. But, you interpreted correctly. We’re looking for someone as talented with design as Joshua. The bar is set high.

Sounds like a fascinating job and I’m sure it is a great work environment but even after I googled “bezier curve” I still don’t get it, so I’m definitely not your guy. I’m sure Pierre Bezier was a great guy though.
Hi,
I’m a freelance designer and will be looking for full-time work in January 2009 when I graduate from Truman State University. I’ll be sure to keep this on my radar, if you haven’t found anyone by then.
my portfolio is at http://www.stephenemlund.com check out stemlund.wordpress.org for recent design work and more church related design
if I promise to put duck tape on my mouth to keep me quiet, can I just hang out with Joshua and the art director so I can soak in their knowledge? The talent we have is AMAZING!!! God is good!
