ongoing freelance graphic design work for MyDamnChannel.com
Lauren Galanter
Hi all,
As some of you may know, for the past few months I've been working as the website manager/media specialist at www.mydamnchannel.com (telecommuting). Frequently we need ad artwork created for promoting episode premieres, internal branding and the like. Up till now I have been creating these things, but have too many other duties on my plate to keep doing so.
So, they are looking to find a freelance graphic designer. I figured I'd check in here to see if anyone would be interested or know others who might be. This is simple work. Description is below. Email me off-list if interested, and I will give you the contact info of who to write to.
Requests for Bids:
Freelance Graphic Designer needed for periodic, ongoing work. Fast turnaround time required.
Creation of ads and graphics (728x90, 300x100, 300x250, etc) for internal promotion of site & content, including occasional creation of logos/artwork for new series. Both static and animated.
This would be ideal for someone with a lot of talent who is just starting out in the design field. Work would be done remotely. Must own Photoshop and/or Illustrator.
Any of the following are pluses: experience with web ad design, copywriting, creating Flash rich media ads, and an understanding of how to entice a user to click. Also any experience creating promotional graphics for online videos.
Please send links to online portfolio and include your rate. Please review www.mydamnchannel.com to familiarize yourself with our content and style/branding.

When I say "cross-channel interactive", by Gawd I mean CROSS-channel.
My one-person shop Tikaro Interactive here in West Chester has just
diversified into nitro-powered airbrush tattoos, and we're looking for
tattoo designs.
You can see pictures our first-ever tattoo booth setup in West Chester
last saturday on Flickr:

We offered any design you want, as long as you wanted one of these
three:
1) A sailor's anchor,
2) An unlicensed "Black Flag" logo, or
3) A magical unicorn.
If any of you web designers want to push pixels that will be output to
self-adhesive Oracal 631 on a vinyl plotter, then be instantiated in
the Real World as alcohol-based ink or shiny glitter on a festival-
goer's bicep, send me a .gif or .jpg sketch of the art you'd like to
do. I'll be delighted to consider any and all submissions, and if we
use the design, we could split the proceeds after the cost of ink and
nitrogen.
In case this sounds like something fun and/or interesting to you as a
break from a long workday of crunching your GIFs down to 4-bit, I'll
provide the following technical details:
* Submissions in Illustrator are great (up to CS3). EPSs are fine
too. It does need to be vector (not raster) art, though. We _could_
live-trace it for you if it's the One True Design.
* Art should have "bridges", without areas of floating color, since
they will be used to make stencils, but
* We transfer the stencil to the skin using protective transfer tape,
so you can make longer, more fragile "bridges" than you would in a
graffiti application.
Cordial regards,
John Young

PS. The "Interactive" part in "cross-channel interactive", in this
application, comes from the machine-readable QRCode tattoos we're
working on. If you have an event coming up that you want to explore
doing QRCode temporary tattoos (Payment proxy? Access to the VIP tent
is granted via a barcode on your bicep?) let me know -- I'm looking
for a prototyping venue, and would be DELIGHTED to work with Indy-hall-
ers.
