Atlanta magazine is looking for a Design Director, who will be responsible for the overall look of the Atlanta magazine brand, spanning print, digital, and social media. S/he will collaborate with, supervise, and
inspire a two-person art staff to create a magazine each month that is
visually inviting, provocative, and commercial. The design director will
touch, directly or indirectly, every edit page of the magazine, from the
tiniest photo credit to a 16-page service package stuffed with dozens of elements. One of the first orders of business? A redesign of the magazine
that the design director will lead.
Job responsibilities include:
• Working with the editor and editorial director to conceive and execute
compelling and commercial covers.
• Overseeing and implementing a redesign of the magazine.
• Clearly communicating assignments to contributing photographers,
illustrators and graphic artists
• Finding ways to tell stories graphically and in unconventional and
non-linear ways
• Leading brainstorming sessions, suggesting heds and deks, and coming up with story ideas
• Nurturing and cultivating a deep roster of contributing photographers,
illustrators and graphic artists
• Directing photo shoots as appropriate.
