Can you juggle and laugh at the same time?

  

We’re on the hunt for a motivated, skilled graphic designer for our team. If you've got what it takes to work in an open plan (sometimes fast-paced) environment and have fun while you churn out creative magic, then we'd like to hear from you.

dandesign is a boutique multidisciplinary studio, and runs on the power of trust and empowerment. We champion results over methods and happy clients are our awards. Our clients range from the wine industry to manufacturing, insurance, health, retail, events and education. Think of it as mix of SMEs with a dash of corporate and a university or two. We encourage fun and flexible work hours, take breaks when we can’t think, and Friday arvo drinks are policy.

As the perfect candidate, you must be able to work unsupervised and manage and meet your own deadlines, without being prompted. You’ll be liaising directly with clients, taking jobs from concept through to finished art, so excellent communication skills, professionalism and efficiency are a must. Attention to detail is your middle name because you always spell-check and ensure you’ve ticked all the boxes before submitting your work. You can juggle multiple tasks with ease, have a ‘can-do’ attitude and really enjoy what you do.

Your folio will demonstrate your knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, as well as your creativity and typographic excellence - showcasing logos, brochures, typesetting and layout, image manipulation and web design.

Your understanding of SME branding will make your job of interpreting briefs and delivering relevant concepts a breeze. An interest in small business and marketing will help but isn’t compulsory. We specialise in design that sells products and services, not pretty pictures. The more you know (or learn) about design and business, the further your career can go.

To be successful in this role you will have a between 1 - 3 years commercial experience in Graphic Design and relevant tertiary qualifications. You’ll be a wizz on a Mac and best mates with Adobe Creative Suite CS4 - particularly InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. Dreamweaver experience will be a bonus.

Your position involves:

  • Designing effective solutions for logos, business cards, brochures, reports, advertisements, marketing campaigns, etc.
  • Designing website concepts
  • Brand development
  • Client interaction throughout the project
  • Working on your own and as part of a team
  • Building websites (optional)
  • Managing projects from concept to delivery, using our online project management tools.
