iPad Designer / Producer

Joe Zeff Design is interviewing for a graphic designer to manage the technical side of our operation in Montclair, NJ.

We're looking for someone who can push our apps to the next level, but not a programmer: a graphic designer with lots of great ideas and a willingness to roll up his or her sleeves and build some great apps. We would train you in all aspects of app development using WoodWing's Digital Magazine Tools, which do not require coding experience but do require basic familiarity of HTML and JavaScript and an interest in learning more. You would design and process page layouts using InDesign CS5 and create profiles, certificates and app builds using XCode. Again, we'll teach you what you need to know and expect you to eventually teach us whatever we don't.

This is a position that will define itself by the candidate's qualifications. Someone with information graphics experience may find opportunities to push the envelope in data visualization, while a strong graphic designer may focus on developing new storytelling techniques. It is emphasized however that the candidate's primary responsibility will be producing our apps from start to finish.

Salary and title commensurate with experience.
