Art Direction focused Design Director with Editorial
Perm salary competitive
start asap
Applications closing Friday 12th June
We are on the hunt for a highly conceptual Design Director/Art Director hybrid with a strong editorial leaning.
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT for a fashion / shoot Art Director.
Nor is this for a fashion folio, or for a Vogue / Conde Nast type publishing background.
Fashion may be represented in your book... but not exclusively.
It more about being design... someone with an art direction eye but also a book showing elevated design skills, exceptional typography, layout and craft.
The aesthetic is not traditional, polished luxe or high street; think cool, disruptive editorial (Dazed etc): progressive, edgy, type-led, fresh, modern and engaging ... arts and cultural vibes but with something extra.
It is to join one of the most coveted agencies in London. Known for pairing progressive ideas with sophisticated executions full of personality and storytelling. They show that campaign and brand worlds can be beautiful, interesting, engaging. Your book needs to show this too and be transferable to this world.
You:
* have a relentless drive to create original and talked about work.
* are hungry to be involved with the very best creative people in the industry.
* have a keen interest in design, film with a contemporary taste for culture and work with point and purpose.
* possess a can-do spirit and when faced with a challenge have the growth mindset to solve this.
* thrive under pressure and are proud to be part of a team that can deliver, even when it something feels impossible.
* strong art direction skills and the ability to take an idea / theme and tell that story through design including typography and branding.
Your book:
* Ideally shows a mix of campaigns and branding and editorial.
* Progressive advertising agency backgrounds (Mother, Droga, WK etc) preferred
Is this the sort of challenge you love?
Only the coolest, best books will be considered!
