Hey All,
It's been awhile since I posted here, but I see not a lot has changed! But here is the deal I am working up in Encinitas now and we are looking to add a designer to our team! The job is not posted yet, but here is the gist. Let me know if you have any questions.Interactive Designer
Verve Wireless helps local publishers build and grow their mobile business by providing differentiated technology tools to manage their mobile presence and make their sales teams more effective. We power their mobile web sites and applications -- built on our industry-leading mobile publishing platform. We also help them monetize their unsold inventory and bring them incremental revenue through our relationships with national advertisers.The Interactive Designer will be responsible for creating mobile advertisements, presentations, and various marketing collateral (digital and print). Creativity and experience with online advertising is preferred, but willing to train candidates who lack mobile-specific experience.
Responsibilities:
• Design and image production (Adobe Creative Suite)
• Front-end development (HTML / CSS / Javascript)
• Creation of PowerPoint presentations
• Design and editing of marketing materials

I believe you are looking for a Coder and Designer my friend. Both positions in one person. So you either want a half ass coder and good designer or a good coder and half ass designer or you have a high paying role ($$$,$$$) for a one-man shop so sit in a cubicle in an office.
- rather, "Both positions in one person???"robotron3k
- yeah I knew I would get this response let me give more feed back
AMOK - I agree with your points! So yeah IDEALLY we will get approval for another position for a solid Front End Devleloper, but that has not been approved yet!
AMOK - but that REQ has not been approved yet.AMOK

Ok for clarification...this is really more of a junior position/production position. Currently we are a 3 man team...Creative Director is in Washington DC, myself and our Front End Developer are here in Encinitas. We are about to refresh the brand including Identity, Website, Collateral materials. But we also do a lot of sales support work for our national sales team. Its a start-up environment so its really casual and not so corporate. I can give more detail if you guys have specific questions.
- and yeah I know our Website is less than impressive, but that's part of the refresh that we are going to undertake.AMOK

LOL at calling someone doing HTML/CSS/JS a "coder" ..

You want a junior and want him to design and code?

I work for a small digital shop and do all the design and the HTML/CSS/ and a little JS then hand it over to developers for maximum codification. While I would agree I am not the star of both worlds, my work is fairly strong and I've pulled in a few awards in my day. Really, it all comes down to the 'generalist' vs 'specialist' debate.

HTML/CSS/JS is basic stuff you learn in college. If you want to do interactive design this is something that is understandable to be required in this day and age.
What do you consider Interactive designer to be?

If I'm hiring a print graphic designer, they need to know how the press works, how to set up the files for correct output, and basically what's possible with the technology available.
If I'm hiring a web designer, they need to know how html/css work and have the ability to actually put together a usable webpage.
If I'm hiring a developer, they need to know how to use photoshop enough to cut up a file, and they need enough of an eye for design that they can distinguish the finer details of a design to translate those into a functional page. No "Arial looks like Univers so I used Arial"
No position lives in a a silo, everyone must be cross-functional to a degree. If you're calling yourself a webdesigner and don't know how to take your artwork into HTML, learn. You'll grow as a designer.

standard... an interactive/front-end designer codes his own shit.
