The Department of Marketing is hiring! We're looking for new designers to join the Graphics Development Team.
Are you handy with Photoshop, Illustrator, or really any graphics program? Then please apply! We're looking for more graphically-inclined folk to help with projects both large and small.
If you have any questions about the position, the department, or other related things, please email marketing@tarvalon.net.
SPECIFIC PROJECTS
For the first time, we are hiring designers for limited-term, specific projects; as well as regular, longer-term GDT staff. If you would like to apply for one of these specific projects, please make note of this in your application. If one of these projects listed below appeals to you, and you have the applicable skills, you’re welcome to join the team for the duration of this project only, if you prefer. Such projects can count as site contributions, pro bono work toward a Merit, and of course be used in your personal portfolio.
Servants of All badge system: this will be very similar to the Merit Badges. We need illustrators/designers to help with this project.
Official Ajah/Company logos: illustrators with high-level skills needed to help develop a cohesive new set that appeals to all groups.
Avendesora donor tree: skilled illustrator needed to finish designing the tree/leaves to honor TV.Net donors. Interactive/Flash designer also potentially needed.
Graphics Development Team Staff
Graphics Development Team positions are staff positions within the Department of Marketing. Position term length is six months. After six months, staff members may choose to remain on the team for another term, or to leave the team to pursue other opportunities (or 'real life'). The Graphics Development Team members report to the Project Manager and Director of Marketing.
The Graphics Development Team is responsible for any and all official visual assets used on or in conjunction with TarValon.Net. These may include anything from logos, banners, icons, and web work to printed material, advertisements, and illustrations. We are looking for several people with a wide variety of visual/graphic design skills. Let us know what you have experience in, and what your preferences are for projects.
The Graphics Development Team sometimes collaborate with each other on various projects, so applicants should be able to work well with a team of designers.
