Graphic Designer
photo.net is looking for an experienced designer to develop a new visual identity for the site, including logo design and page templates for our different areas. The designer will be responsible for the art as well as the front-end coding (HTML/CSS).
The designer will report to the Director of User Interface.
Experience with designing standards-compliant websites as part of a team is required.
To apply, please email the following to user.interface@photo.net, with a subject line of "photo.net graphic designer":
- Cover letter stating salary requirements
- Resume (in plain text or HTML preferred, PDF is acceptable, Microsoft Word we can't read reliably)
- Three example websites that point in the direction you'd like to take photo.net
- Sketches of a redesign for a discussion forum page (example) and a static article (example)
About the Company
photo.net was established in 1993. We have minimal (approximately
$500,000/year), but fairly steady and growing, revenue. Currently all
contributors work from home, but if service improvements result in
revenue growth, we expect to be renting some office space in the
Boston area by early 2007.
Advantages of working for photo.net:
- your work will be used; if you build it, they will come. Well, at least 1000 or so folks will probably try out any new service within one day. Big companies can afford to pay people to build things that never get marketed. photo.net is small and we don't mind experimenting with new ideas and services.
- your work will be public; instead of asking an employer to look at your resume and imagine how glorious the system that you built was, the employer can visit www.photo.net 24/7 and see for him or herself
- you can learn from some senior people, many of whom were pioneers on the Internet; we have a strong culture of design and code review
- if you're in Boston, you can hang out with our circle of friends, many of whom have started and sold businesses and most of whom are successful enough to own and operate private aircraft (free helicopter rides for anyone working at photo.net!)
