YES! Weekly

Creative Assistant

In addition to laying out content in certain areas of the publication, I am exclusively responsible for creating the cover art/illustration/photography. I love the freedom that comes along with working in the art department of an alt. weekly publication, but I'm really striving for a position with a bit more variety in working with clients, problem solving, etc.
