Description:
Second is looking for an Art Director who’s passionate, creative, innovative and enjoys being part of a team. Are you good at communicating a message through great print work? Are you passionate about how a church communicates both to its community and its congregation? We’re looking for someone with 3 years experience in concepting and executing excellent print work.
Skills.
You’re proficient in InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and familiar with web design techniques. You can determine the best print strategy to meet project budget, including paper selection, selecting/working with print vendors and performing press checks. You work well with a collaborative team. You can manage many projects with overlapping deadlines. You love typography, and twitch when you see a headline that hasn’t been kerned. When something looks good, you know there is a grid in there somewhere.
Bonus points for familiarity with CSS/XHTML/PHP and social web culture.
Second Culture.
Don't let “church” bring to mind hokey, outdated clip art. Second takes design seriously, we hold great visual communication in high regard. Some of our work requires a traditional touch and some a very progressive look.
Second has been around since 1844, takes the Gospel seriously and strives to be outwardly-focused. Second is located in the heart of Memphis, and we are committed to our city—the good, the bad and the ugly.
Because we are a church, this does present the stipulation that you have to be a Christian. Because our faith is integrated throughout our work, a life deeply grounded in the Gospel is important in effectively communicating our ministries.
