Dream job for photoshopping, web-skilled NIN fan.

Apr 28, 2008 by Jennifer Farley    No Comments    Posted under: Blog, Design Stuff!

There’s an ad on the LA Craig’s List, looking for someone with graphic design and web skills to work with Nine Inch Nails art director. It sounds like a very cool job, although the hours sound unusual.

“Work would be done mostly from home, with communication via internet and phone. Sometimes on-site work in the Los Angeles area would be required. Hours would be flexible and sometimes odd. ”

I’d love to apply for this myself – I’d say there’s huge scope for creativity but I suspect the Dublin – Los Angeles commute is possibly worse than my current Westmeath – Dublin commute for my teaching job. The job specs are looking for someone with the following skills:

- Very well versed with web development: Expert at CSS/HTML, Flash, etc. Knowledge of javascript and web programming for mobile platforms a big plus.
- Intimate knowledge of the web, websites, internet culture and trends, etc. Would be helping to maintain NIN presence on various web 2.0 sites.
- Basic knowledge of Photoshop (basic image editing/cropping/resizing)
- Has good visual taste and design sensibilities, and can create new designs/layouts from an established aesthetic.
- Basic knowledge of Final Cut Pro and common video file formats/compression tools.
- Ability to quickly learn and adapt to new computer-related skills.
- Experience with print production/layout software like Quark and InDesign a plus.
- Knowledge of Adobe Illustrator a plus.
- Knowledge of After Effects and/or Motion a plus.
- Must be SUPER Mac-friendly, even if their primary computer is a PC.
