We're looking for several freelance positions here at Time Inc. Content Solutions. All of them temporary.
The first is an immediate need : Junior designers/interns to help flow text, capable of making necessary adjustments on layouts if necessary. This person should have/had experience in magazines or a design studio and be able to work in InDesign, Photoshop.
The second is less immediate. We are often required to put together entire campaigns and presentations within a week to 10 days, which include magazine design, web design, accompanying collateral, etc. We are looking for very capable designers who are good collaborators and can help formulate and create these RFP's (requests for proposals). There are several people that we've used in the past, but I feel that we really need to start building a pool of talent.
The third: We have relied heavily on one source to help create some of the information graphics that we create here for many of our clients in finance. I am looking for recommendations of talented information graphics designers who can work for us on a freelance, project basis, out of house. They need to be people who really understand the subject matter. Not just artists who make things pretty.
I know there are a lot of out of work designers out there. Please ask them to email there resume to me at syndi_becker@timeinc.com, or please send me any emails, numbers, etc of recommendations that you can think of.
Much appreciated.

Temp Freelance at Time Inc. Content Solutions
Job Opportunity - Architectural Record
This is a dream job-in the ³new normal² world. This is a 4-6 month fill-in as AD of the 115 year-old premiere magazine of record about architecture, Architectural Record. This is a monthly and the flagship publication of my group-with a newsstand presence. I need a seasoned magazine AD who is completely hands on-this is not a managerial slot. An affinity for and knowledge of architecture is essential. The ability to create information graphics-site plans and sectional diagrams-both in-house and working with an out-of-house illustrator-essential. Beautiful architecture shoots of beautiful designs. Great editors. This is a great portfolio opportunity.
This gig requires jumping in and getting your hands dirty-and having fun creating designs that are as smart as the content. Full time (5-day week) on-site only. Possibility of staying longer and possibly transitioning to staff.
Are you interested? Does anyone else come to mind?
Email me at francesca_messina@mcgraw-hill.
Appreciate any thoughtsŠ
Thanks, Francesca

A friend and I are launching a non-profit centered around increasing helmet use on motorcycles in Uganda. Motorcycle taxi accidents are a leading cause of death in the country, soon to eclipse AIDS and we think it's an important issue.
We have a business plan put together that involves creating a new helmet that is appropriate for the Ugandan climate, aesthetic, economy and culture. We'll be entering this plan into the Harvard Business School Social Entrepreneurship Business Plan Competition and we'd love to have your class help us towards our entry if they can! I gave it some thought over the weekend and think there is a potential for three projects they could work on. If you decide you want to use us in another way, that's great too. Here they are in order of preference.
1 - Complete concept sketches / designs of the helmet and a mechanism to lock the helmet to the bike. We have some ideas and crude drawings, but need polish and detailing and a clean professional look. Timeframe: 2.5 weeks. I've included one of my pretty pictures to whet your imagination and prove why we need some sort of graphical help.
2 - Create a website. Pretty straight forward and big for us, but also time consuming! Timeframe, rest of semester
3 - Create a logo. We are tentatively called 1x1 Helmets and may already have a graphic artist on board, but this could be a good assignment anyways. Timeframe 2.5 weeks
Let me know if any of this sounds at all interesting. We'd be thrilled to have any and all help you can give or even people you can refer us to.
