Joe Zeff Design is interested in hiring a contract-based iPad producer through the end of the year to help produce a variety of apps using Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. This position requires 3+ years of publication design experience, production-level InDesign skills including stylesheets and master pages, strong typographic awareness, unrelenting attention to detail and organization, and an understanding of how DPS works. We are a small studio, so everyone is a team player, with no task too big or too small. Everyone rolls up their sleeves, and very little gets delegated. That said, we work as a team and the ability to play nicely with others is important. We work Mondays through Fridays in a converted church-turned-office in Montclair, NJ, for some of the most prestigious clients in the world, so bring your A game because nothing else will do. We expect our employees to know their way through the Adobe Creative Suite, with some fluency in Photoshop and Illustrator, and we highly value anything beyond: HTML, After Effects, Edge. No phone calls, please. We're too busy making apps. Please send inquiries with resumes and portfolio links to helpwanted@joezeffdesign.com.Director of Marketing/Communications Design & Production
