Associate Graphic Designer

We are seeking a talented, professional, motivated, flexible and energetic graphic designer. Entry level position involves supporting senior design team and includes lots of entry-level activities, such as running to the printer and shredding confidential documents. Also includes the opportunity to work with small, creative team while building your portfolio.

Great opportunity for third or fourth year college student, or recent graduate. You should have a couple of projects that demonstrate basic design concepts, but we are most interested in finding a professional (did we say professional) team member who is motivated to do whatever it takes to get the job done and maintains a very positive attitude, no matter how many times you have to load the printer with paper. Basic Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop skills will be helpful. A great attitude is a must. Flexible schedule and the chance to learn and work with a strong, award winning team.

A letter of recommendation from a recent professor will put you ahead of the pack. Send your resume and samples to katfilice@articulate-solutions.com We will try and respond to all applicants, but we especially appreciate those who refrain from calling us during our search.

Seeking professional, talented and flexible graphic designer. You will need five years of print design experience along with at least two years of college — and a solid portfolio.

You'll also need to be hardworking with a great sense of humor and your attention to detail is close to perfection.

Skills:

• Creative graphic designer for print
• Print-file production preparation, color management and print management
• Understanding of asset management
• Extremely detail oriented and excellent customer service skills
• Solid communication skills – verbal and written
• Illustration and photography skills would be a great plus

Programs:

• Photoshop
• Illustrator
• Acrobat
• MS Word/MS PPT
• InDesign

We offer the latest in software and hardware (MAC – but you should be able to deal with Windows based environments.) Recently named "Small Business of the Year" and winner of three DAVEY Awards.

About the Position:
