AJC seeks designer

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is seeking a passionate Sports designer capable of bringing smart visual packaging to life. This person should be a visual journalist who can originate and execute creative cover solutions under deadline pressure, and who can carry that look throughout inside pages. You will work closely with section editors, slots and artists/photographers. The AJC has embarked on an industry-leading reorganization of the newsroom to be followed by a redesign and increased press color capacity. The role of designer is more critical than ever, and now is the time to get involved. Strong communication, collaboration and planning skills are a must. InDesign is a plus and Photoshop skills are required. Send a resume and cover letter to newsroom recruiter Rana L. Cash: rcash@ajc.com
Deadline: Feb. 4

 

Obviously salary depends on experience, but any idea on pay range?

 

So you're gonna be designing slot pages?

 

Sounds like a solid job with potential. Good for someone who will work hard instead of just trying to make it based on their resume. There're too many people who walk into papers thinking they are the end-all-be-all of design.
