Artist Opportunities
Creativity is fundamental in making The Beaney a vibrant and exciting place for everyone. Whenever possible we offer opportunities for artists to create, explore, engage, share and challenge using our collections and building as a resource for inspiration.
Callout for Graphic Designer
We are inviting portfolio submissions from graphic designers and publication designers for an upcoming digital publication on Health and Wellbeing in Museums. The publication content has been developed already and we estimate the final document will be 24-28 pages in length depending on the design. We are looking for someone who can bring this information to life as an online booklet with a strong visual identity, working within existing Beaney branding guidelines. The publication will be accessed via The Beaney website and needs to conform to current online accessibility guidelines, including compatibility with e-reading software including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver.
We are looking for someone:
- with excellent creative design and layout skills with experience working with text based publications, both online and in print.
- With an understanding of online accessibility requirements.
- who can work collaboratively with museum staff.
- who can use their skills to enrich the information provided and communicate it effectively with a professional readership.
Please provide:
- A biography about yourself or a CV.
- A weblink to your portfolio of work with examples of any previous reports, booklets or publications you have worked on OR a dropbox link of up to 5 examples of your previous similar work.
