Thorp and Sailor's Grave Board

Design Intern Wanted

BDx13 - 1-25-2005 at 04:46 AM

We're looking for someone to help out with the design-related tasks here at Thorp Records.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:
The projects you will be responsible for include website graphics, splash pages, ad banners, desktop wallpapers, AIM icons and the like. Depending on how good you are, you may find yourself involved in our site redesign or working on CD layouts or print ads for upcoming releases.

WHAT YOU NEED:
A good sense of style, familiarity with what 'works' in designing for the web, and an understanding of how art is prepared to go to press. Your own computer and a working knowledge of some or all of the following: Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, InDesign or Quark, HTML. ...And you'll probably want to be passionate about hardcore.

WHAT YOU GET:
A number of fine pieces for your portfolio (hopefully) and a nice addition to your resume, CDs (duh), and, if applicable, course credit (be sure to get us the paper work).

This is a home-based position. That means you are eligible to apply regardless of where you live 'cause we have no need to see your mug around our offices! We are looking to fill this position as soon as possible, so if you are interested, please send your website url and/or some samples of your work to bigduane -A T- thorprecords.com.

Thanks.


^^^^^^^^^^
EDIT:
I should mention that finding someone with experience in graphic design for the web is our main priority; print is second.

every job needs a foreman, chris!

keep in mind that this is a full time venture for a.k. now, and he's looking to do a lot more this year. so, there are a few reasons why we're looking for some help...
- volume. the more bands we have, the more work there is to be done.
- options. we want to make a variety of new marketing materials available for online promotions.
- growth. thorprecords.com has had the same interface design and (more or less) the same backend since it was launched in 1999 - it's time for an update.

and besides, i waste all my time talkin' shop with all youse on the boards!

Hey, I saw that you guys are looking for web help, I was actually just here to see some fdls stuff but that's cool. I would definitely be interested in working with you guys. My temporary portfolio is up at http://www.lasalle.edu/~willisp1 I am working on a new one along with a few other sites. You should be able to link up to a few sites from that address. I have fairly good experience with Flash, Photoshop, and Illustrator. As coding goes I am best with XHTML, javascript and I can do css. I also know some php but not to extensively yet. Hopefully I will from you, take care.

DAN SMASH - 1-25-2005 at 09:31 PM

NOT.

but post the plane tickets anyway,
i make nice tea.

ENDERA.x - 1-25-2005 at 10:49 PM

Big Ugly - 1-25-2005 at 10:53 PM

I have no talent whatsoever. But if you need anybody to go online and talk some shit (in exchange for some cd's of course) then I'm your man.

Douchebag!

Bah. I miss you fools.

MacSteff - 1-31-2005 at 03:10 PM

I sent you an email about the design intern position. I am very interested and would love to give it a shot. I know Quark, Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash, and dreamweaver. I have my own computer. I am done with college, so I don't need credits or anything, I just really love music and want more experience. I also do work for the Bloodshot Hooligans, a hardcore/punk band in CT.

Mikey216 - 1-31-2005 at 09:19 PM

I started messing around making a Pride Kills site. I got halfway through it and then got mega busy with moving.

ENDERA.x - 1-31-2005 at 11:39 PM

lol how many people are doing the damn thing

SmashHit518 - 1-31-2005 at 11:41 PM

I'm new to the board but I am definitely interested. I have pretty extensive knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator and useable knowledge of Flash, Director, and Dreamweaver. I will be taking programming classes this spring (my major is web design related) so as time goes on I'll be able to contribute more.

Some examples of my stuff (and just a general idea of my web skills) are at http://www.rit.edu/~msn4074/index.html or http://www.notinthathole.com (both addresses go to the same thing but I posted the long one first so that you didn't think that the other one was a joke. There will be more up eventually and I can send more examples if you want.

Thanks a lot.

Big Ugly - 2-1-2005 at 12:05 AM

No answer. Does this mean you're not taking me up on my offer Duane?

ENDERA.x - 2-1-2005 at 12:28 AM

who knows if he answered anyone?

Position Filled

BDx13 - 2-14-2005 at 02:59 PM

I'm pleased to announce that Brandon K, aka ENDERA.x, has accepted the design internship position here at Thorp Records. He has an outstanding portfolio, and being a regular on the Thorp Boards, we already get the impression he's a pretty stand-up guy as well. So, congratulations to Brandon!

I'd also like to thank everyone that applied for the position. We received a number of great portfolios, and may very well be in touch with some people again in the future, depending on what our needs are. Thanks for your interest.

BDx13 - 2-14-2005 at 03:01 PM

OH, and yes, we've put him to work already... he did one of the two new splash pages: http://www.thorprecords.com/splash_ramallah.html

moron - 2-14-2005 at 04:07 PM

BDx13 - 2-14-2005 at 04:16 PM

well, there you have it, endera, you must be off to a good start... moron has never complimented one of my splash pages! ;)

moron - 2-14-2005 at 04:19 PM

I beg to differ. Not to take anything away from Endera, but I do remember complimenting you on a Madball splash page back when they got signed. :)

BDx13 - 2-14-2005 at 04:36 PM
