Graphic Designer Needed!

As most of you know, Matt and I not only run LOUD& OBNOXIOUS but we also run a screen printing company called GLAD RAGS INK. We offer screen printing services to anyone that needs custom apparel and it keeps us pretty busy. So busy that it has become increasingly harder to find time to keep LOUD& OBNOXIOUS going as actively as we want. It explains a lot of things, like why the website isn't completely finished and why the Weekly Winter 08 never really happened (sorry about that).

Both of our companies are still small-scale operations and we work very hard every day to keep both growing, but since L&O was born from GRink, the screen printing company takes precedence and is currently our top priority. Up to this point, our friends have been very supportive of our endeavors and we thank them wholeheartedly. They're the ones you see on the blog occasionally who help us in the warehouse with any task that we need (especially Nancy, Krista K, Kris G, Chuck, Justin, & Franky).

With that being said, the time has come for us to find people with more particular skills. I give you our first official "job opening"/internship:


GRAPHIC DESIGNER

- Proficiency in Adobe programs, mainly Photoshop and Illustrator
- Demonstrate a clear understanding of existing and potential customer base
- Ability to create unique and original graphics for overall brand image
- Must be self motivated and able to work effectively
- Must be an open minded team player
- Displays initiative and innovation on the job
- Preferably Southern California resident

Another important point: if you have a basic knowledge of screen printing techniques or how to properly prepare graphics for print, that would be a huge plus. Don't worry though, if you don't then we can help train you for that. Bottom line, we're just looking for someone who is down to be a part of something that could potentially become a bigger operation but also has the skills that we need to help us make it to that point. We have TONS of ideas for new shirts and new concepts, but we just need the help of a graphic designer to bring them to life.

Also, if you are looking to do a lot of freelance design work, our screen printing company (GRink) has a growing client base (schools, bands, churches, businesses, etc.) that is always looking to us for designs for their apparel that we print.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!
If interested, please send an email to email@loudobnoxious.com with some information about yourself, past graphic design work, and portfolios. If you've got a resume, even better!

We look forward to hearing from all of you awesome graphic designers out there! We need you!
