Assistant Art Director (Vancouver)

Adbusters Media Foundation is looking for a passionate and aesthetically sharp Assistant Art Director to help produce one of the boldest, most visually audacious magazines currently available on newsstands worldwide.

Adbusters, the journal of the mental environment, is a staple of the counterculture. For three decades, our collective of dissidents and dreamers has been smashing ads, castigating corruption, and taking the powers that be to task — without ever accepting a single corporate dollar. From Buy Nothing Day to #OccupyWallStreet, we've been at the helm of some of our era's definitive toneshifting moments. Become a key part of our mission to forge radical new ways to live, love, and think.

The Assistant Art Director will work closely with our Creative Director,  Art Director and Editor in Chief to create layout and material for print and web use. The Assistant Art Director's job consists primarily of the following tasks:

• Researching and creating visual material for both print and web;
  
• Preparing visual material for print (pre-flight).
  

The successful candidate will have the following qualifications:

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator);
  
• A background in Art & Design or a related field;
  
• Knowledge of FTP, online newsstands, ecommerce, and imaging for web is a bonus.
