Hi Guys, still looking! Please see below.

Freelance Creative Assistant

First and foremost, you’re Type A and extremely organized. You can write, strategize, source, research and help manage a production timeline in connection with a new project from Pattern Pulp Studios. Experience in coordinating events and a strong command of the digital sphere are a must. This is a shortish term project (4-6 weeks) in New York City and while the budget is not huge, compensation will be commensurate with experience. This is a great opportunity for someone that gets the Pattern Pulp aesthetic- we’re bold, bright and to the point.

To Apply:

Please email editor@patternpulp.com. The email header should include your first and last name as “Freelance Creative Assistant”.

Please include anything relevant that would make you an ideal person to meet with: ie portfolio links, linkedin url, a project or two that you’ve personally seen through and a few words about the designers, thinkers and websites you’re most inspired by.

 

Wanna Collaborate?




Hi guys. So the latest in my court. I’m working on something exciting- something that will hopefully be launching in the near future. I’ve realized that with my current work/life schedule, I need an extra hand and can’t do it all myself. Hopefully those hands are talented, reliable and fun to work with! This is a part-time gig, so if you’re already semi-committed to something, it shouldn’t be a problem. If interested in either of these roles, please get in touch- also feel free to pass these descriptions along to anyone who may be a good fit. Thanks a million! -Shayna

 

Freelance Graphic Designer

I’m looking for a sharp graphic designer- someone’s who’s willing to embrace and execute on colorful shapes, youthful vectors and interesting typography. Having a handle on Illustrator is very important. I’d also love to see a balance of masculine and feminine looking styles in your portfolio. Please don’t send corporate projects you’ve put finishing touches on- I’d like to see your personal design style- the kind of work that you do for fun once the clients have been taken care of.

This is a shortish term project (4-8 weeks), and ideally the candidate will be New York area based. You’ll need to be an Illustrator and Photoshop whiz- as you’ll be developing graphics and working on website layouts. Having an understanding of user experience is a plus.

The rate will be commiserate with experience. I’m looking for someone that gets the Pattern Pulp aesthetic- we’re bold, bright and to the point. That said, this project will be a different entity and separate of the site.

 

Freelance Product Manager

This person has worked with product design that’s tangible (not only web-based), setting and adhering to timelines as well as production both locally and abroad. It’d also be great if you have a bit of experience handling the particulars of live events. You’ll also be working on strategies related to production rollout, partnership collaborations and keeping track of all that’s incoming and outgoing.

This is a shortish term project (4-8 weeks), and ideally the candidate will be New York area based. If you come from the agency world, we’ll probably speak the same language, though someone with smaller shop experience is also great.

I’ll try to respond to everyone, though relevant resumes will get top priority. Also, I’ll  happily discuss the project in detail, it’s goals and expectations in person.

 

Book Review: Creative, Inc.




When the end of August looms and September heads into sight, you can’t help but get that “back to school feeling,” no matter how old you are. It seems like just the right time to think about starting new projects and learning new things, maybe even setting out on your own.

As more and more people embrace (or dream of embracing) the freelance life, the little details can feel illusive and innumerable. You may know your craft, but how to make a career out of it can feel like heading into an overwhelming and uncharted territory. Fortunately, designer and writer Meg Mateo Ilasco of Modern Economy has been down that path and has collaborated with fellow design maven, Joy Deangdeelert Cho of OhJoy! to help others who hold similar aspirations. With their latest book, Creative, Inc.: The Ultimate Guide to Running a Successful Freelance Business, the duo offers creative individuals solid direction, advice, and guidelines on becoming successful creative entrepreneurs. After all, we were told as children that we could do anything we wanted to when we grew up; why not snap up this book and seize the opportunity to do just that.
