One of my clients is looking for a Graphic Designer for regular ‘above the line’ print design work. If you know of anyone who is interested in producing design work for a high profile, dynamic and exciting company then please send me details (don’t respond here).
The role would suit a small design studio or a freelance graphic designer. It would also be a great opportunity for someone out there who is considering going freelance and is looking for that great first client to get them off the ground, out of the rat race and enable them to work for great people, from home on some very visible design work.
I can’t mention names but you could not work for a nicer company. They’re based in Dublin but it’s possible for you to be based anywhere in Ireland.

I’ve just upgraded to WordPress 2.5 for my design blog. The only bugs I can find at the moment are the SIFR titles on blogs which are now 1/3 the size. Otherwise, it’s been a remarkably smooth experience. The hosting control panel actually handled everything so finger’s crossed that nothing came undone in the upgrade.
UPS arrived about 2 minutes ago. I have brand new copy of Adobe Creative Suite 3 (Master Collection) sitting in front of me waiting to be installed. I can’t wait to start playing with this. Here’s a list of the included software in the Master Collection.

From one of my favourite web sites ( fontshop.com ) comes the latest FontBook type catalogue.
Just like the right photograph, the right font can make or break any piece of graphic design. I love these font catalogues and can easily spend hours browsing through hundreds of pages of Serif, Sans serif, Gothic, Display, Blackletter and Slab fonts just to find the right typeface for a graphic design project. Unfortunately, typography on the web isn’t as versatile as it is in the printed world and that’s something I still miss about designing web sites. Still, these book are gorgeous pieces of graphic design in themselves and a great reference tool for a logo I’ve just been comissioned to design.
The Irish Webmaster Forum.com are organising a few drinks at the Harbour Master pub in the IFSC (Dublin) on Friday 9th February. If you’re a Web Master, Web Designer, Marketeer, Search Engine Optimiser (or all 4!) and want to meet a few of your contemporaries the drop by and say ‘hi’.
A nice feature on the HP Media Server flash demo is the ability to mute the volume on the demo before it starts playing. It’s an impressive yet simple touch that saved me having to turn off my own music.
If you work in a shared office I’m sure at some stage you’ve come to a website where the music or narration started playing automatically and never gave you a choice?
If HP have put this level of thought into my online experience then I’m interested
in exploring their actual physical MediaSmart Server. Poor usability and design is the bain of my tech life so here’s a few free links for making such a thoughtful gesture.
