"We're looking for an amazing graphic designer with up-to-date knowledge to interpret our clients needs and to design solutions with high visual impact."
Eric Dahl
From The Desk Of Eric Dahl -Eugene, Oregon Here's What I'm Looking For and Not...
You will work on a variety of media, including websites, books, special reports, newsletters, magazines, websites, logos, business cards, presentations, animated video, video and you will cooperate with our designers and consultants.
The goal is to get the clients’ message across. Personally I work long hours, and I need someone who can help me implement my ideas, manage projects and communicate with clients.
Speed is very important to me. If you’re a slow worker or a slow implementer or a slow learner – we simply won’t be a good fit. You’ll have various tasks.
I expect you to have a can do attitude. I can’t stand complainers or those that talk a good game but nothing ever gets done. What I really want is someone who lets their work do the talking for them.
Some typical tasks you might do in a day (note: you don’t need to know how to do all of these just yet, but must be willing to learn)...
...What You'll Be Doing:
- Cultivate a solid body of work
- Take the design “brief” to record requirements and clients needs
- Schedule project implementation and define budget constraints
- Work with a wide range of media and use graphic design software
- Think creatively and develop new design concepts, graphics and layouts
- Prepare rough drafts and present your ideas
- Amend final designs to clients comments and gain full approval
- … and much, much more. No two days will ever be the same.
Required Skills:
- Proven graphic design experience
- Possession of creative flair, versatility, conceptual/visual ability and originality
- Demonstrable graphic design skills with a strong portfolio
- Ability to interact, communicate and present ideas
- Up to date with industry leading software and technologies (In Design, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Photoshop etc)
- Highly proficient in all design aspects
- Professionalism regarding time, costs and deadlines
You need to be a hardworking, self-starter, who is coachable, dependable, determined, driven, accountable, tech savvy, and naturally obsessed with details.
Additional Requirements:
# 1
Intermediate knowledge of internet marketing, tracking, conversions, sales funnels, sales copy, upsells, etc.
# 2
Intermediate knowledge of some of the tools we use… like WordPress, Optimize Press, Infusionsoft

Intermediate knowledge of ad creation, ad placement and ad management (i.e. banners, ppc, solo ads, etc).
Optional Skills (Not required, but a plus):
- Basic HTML / coding ability
- Photoshop

Compensation and Getting Paid:
Right now work is assigned on a per project basis and as soon as part-time or full-time work is available (provided you’ve worked well with us so far) you’ll be among the first people we contact. Rates average out to $25 an hour starting out. If you’re starting out with fewer skills and learning as you go, compensation is going to be lower. The right person for this role will also deeply value the learning experience.
