(Chicago)

You:

You are best described by a story:

You think the current look and feel of our site sucks. After 10 minutes of thinking and sketching, you have three simple changes to help make it cohere. In 20 minutes, you have put together a PSD file with three different versions of your changes.

Other things about you:

• You think about branding and design constantly.
• Your natural workflow includes making many versions, selecting the best, then making many more versions.
• You have portfolio which includes both web and printed sales-y documents. The web examples should have some interactive components to them.
• You have an appreciation for the design constraints of the web (limited fonts, limited bandwidth, limited everything.)
• You have the self-confidence to work in an opinionated, quick environment.
• You excel at using words and images to convey a punchy message.
