Blueprint Interactive is a full-service digital agency that provides top-shelf strategy, targeting, creative, and advertising for a variety of political campaigns, non-profits, and other organizations. We're a small, energetic, and occasionally weird team who have been churning out some kick-ass projects fighting for women’s health, racial equality, the environment, and much, much more.

JOB DESCRIPTION

It will be love at first sight if you are super-duper creative, quick on your feet (and with a mouse!), crave learning new skills, and obsess over serving up pixel-perfect perfection. As a Junior Designer, the candidate will be working closely with Blueprint’s design staff to support the creation of landing pages, websites, digital ads, and even some video and email projects.

We are looking for someone to join us through the November 2018 election cycle who is a bright, creative mind that can jump right into projects and hit the ground running, has a killer portfolio, and is excited to gain some agency experience. You will need the ability to take existing designs and styles and apply them to new pieces, make edits and changes to work that is in the production cycle, and come up with original ideas and concepts.

REQUIREMENTS

Background in web design or other creative field
Working knowledge of designing intuitive and effective web layouts
Ability to apply existing designs and concepts to new pieces and projects
An understanding of color, typography, and composition
Being cognizant of your design decisions vs. just pushing pixels around (Why did you place the object where you did vs. someplace else? Why did you use this color?)
Can handle multiple tasks/assignments and anything else we may throw at you!
Strong attention to detail
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Ability to take and apply direction and constructive feedback
Comfortable with design standards like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign

BONUS (BUT NOT REQUIRED) SKILLS

Programming/coding experience
Illustration and rendering vector graphics
Video editing and motion graphics
Print and identity design
Yo-yo or juggling skills

COMPENSATION

You will receive a competitive salary and:

100% company-paid premiums for health and dental insurance coverage.
401(k) with matching
100% company-paid premiums for life and disability insurance
Regular lunches, happy hours, and other team events
Plenty of wine, beer, and baked goods

HOW TO APPLY

Please reply to jo...@blueprintinteractive.com with your resume, cover letter, and any portfolio samples or links. Don't write us a book, but do tell us about yourself and why you'd like to work for us. In other words, don't copy and paste the same mass email you send to everybody else. That stings a little!

So that we can be sure that you've read this whole thing (and to make sure you're not a killer robot), please title your subject line "Application: Junior Designer." We're looking forward to hearing from you!
