InDesign: magazine layouts, multi-page PDF projects, infographic design, getting files print-ready
Photoshop: retouching and upscaling images, removing backgrounds, cleaning up assets for digital and print
Illustrator: custom design elements, pattern creation, cleaning up vectors
Social content: designing assets for our Instagram (carousel graphics, story templates, repurposing editorial content for social)
File management: keeping our digital assets organized, properly named, and easy to find
General creative support

A project you've worked on that you're proud of (tell us why)
Your strongest skills from the list above

Please don't send us copy-pasted AI-generated applications. We use AI in our own workflow and think it's a great tool, but it's obvious when your entire application is a ChatGPT template. Appreciate you taking the time to apply and we'll reply with next steps if you're a good fit. Thank you!
