News and Sports Illustrated.

The ideal candidate should have tested news judgment and a strong sense
of design. We require strong, proven illustration skills, experience
with storyboards, and the ability to translate sketches into clean
vector graphics and animate in Flash. Applicants should have a solid
journalism background. Deep knowledge of Illustrator/FreeHand and Flash
MX is required. Experience with 3D and Web applications such as
Cinema4D/Maya/Poser and After Effects are a plus. A candidate must be
someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and has strong communication skills. Assignments involve news and information graphics
for the Web, NOT Web page design.
