Job Opening - Art Director/Graphic Designer

Davies Rourke in Boise has an opening for an Art Director/Graphic Designer with creative, print production and web design experience.

Just as an aside, I'd link to the specific page on the Davies Rourke website, but since the whole thing is in Flash, all I can do is point you toward their Contact - Employment section of the site.

The challenge is on

Adobe has a little contest running right now, and they want you to take some Creative License.

They're looking for someone to create a print ad, using at least two stock images from the Adobe Stock Photos library. These images can be manipulated any way you'd like, but you have to use at least two to meet the requirements for the contest.

Entries are due by July 16th, so you don't have much time.

(Thanks to the fine folks over at American Copywriter for the tip)

Subscription options

Yes, I'm doing some tidying up around here tonight.

For some time now, I've made the Idaho Ad Agencies feed available via the site feed link to the right. As of today, I've also added the option to subscribe via email, to receive email updates when new content is posted to the site.

It's all about making it as convenient as possible for you to get the information that you're interested in...

And who knows, one of these days I just might play around with the design of the site.

More on resources

A while ago I mentioned that I may start adding listings of resources to the Idaho Ad Agencies blog. Well, I finally got started.

I've added a link over on the right, titled (creatively enough) Resources. As I have a chance, I'll add more information to that section. If you have anything you'd like to contribute, just shoot me an email and let me know.
