Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Foreword: I'm relatively new at PPH. This could be contract work or hourly. What follows is the part-time position's description.
If you're not first and foremost a Mac designer please stop reading these requirements now. To paraphrase Obi-Wan Kenobi, "this is not the company you're looking for."
The Graphic Language Company is a very small agency. There are only three or four of us on the go (max) most days so we have to be versatile and we have to work together to identify and manage our priorities, and meet or beat deadlines (we do this with the help of a web app called Podio.)
If you work here you absolutely get to spend some of your time reading, learning, daydreaming, stretching and experimenting -- but you have to start somewhere and that starting place is with a respectable proficiency in OS X (just in case you skipped bullet number one) and a ninja-like adeptness in Adobe's Creative Suite of products (in no particular order, but anything we print on paper gets laid out in InDesign.) Full stop. If you have had absolutely no exposure to InDesign this is probably going to be painful for all of us. We could care less whether you've even heard of a company called Microsoft or its products but we think crayons and coloured pencils are incredible! Evernote makes us happy as do Dropbox, Google Drive and Pharrell Williams.
It's true. Nowadays we do more web work than 18 years ago when print brochures, newspaper ads and coupons were our mainstay but if we had to choose, we'd prefer someone with a print background who needs to improve their web graphic skills to someone who has no idea what the terms CMYK, bleeds, crop marks, OpenType, spreads, offset, overset or plates (not the ones you eat with) mean.
If you can put a check mark next to an ability called, "Excellent English," no matter whether it's your first language, that would be awesome. If not, you need to be fluent in how spell-checking works and more importantly, understand why it matters, and most importantly, know when to ask for help. We don't fake it around here. Believe it or not, we actually write internal memos and e-mails correctly. Language skills other than English are incredibly cool as well.
You are organized and can't imagine what it would be like to miss a deadline.
You are happy most days :-)
