We're looking for a graphics designer to create up to six different websites for an alternate reality game based around a highly popular young adult book. This job will involve working with our team in London on creating concepts and then finished PSDs for our in-house web designer to implement - this means that you will not be doing any HTML work, although we will expect you to have a very good grasp of the web and interaction design. The websites should look lushly designed illustrated. We are not looking for web 2.0 or corporate designs; instead, imagine that you have to create a Victorian rail timetable leaflet, but online. You will need to show us a portfolio of sites you have designed in this theme, otherwise unfortunately we're not interested. This is a relatively short project, which will need to begin almost immediately. You will need to have good communication skills and be fast and prompt. It's a very fun project though, with a good client! You can be based anywhere in the world, but things will be easier if we can talk to you on the phone, which (depending on where you live) could involve occasional late nights or early mornings.
