Design   02.20.12   posted by SPD HR

Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel is looking for an Art Director to design our award-winning, bimonthly magazine. We are a one-person art department (working with two photo editors and a small staff of print editors), so  the successful applicant will need to be versatile and collaborative. The job is primarily devoted to designing the magazine, but there is also occasional work for the marketing and on-line departments, as well as the potential for designing tablet versions of the magazine. The "budget" part of our name runs deeply through our identity: the design budget is itself small, so our art director needs to be creative with resources, as well as with her/his design vision. (You will be designing graphics and maps, as well as the features and covers.) That said, this is a great opportunity for a designer to put her/his mark on a publication and to become a full partner in the creation of a beloved and terrific magazine (if we do say so ourselves).
