Realms of Fantasy is hiring; this time, they’re looking for a designer. Publisher Warren Lapine has been handling the graphic design and layout since buying the magazine earlier this year. Now, he’s looking to hand off those responsibilities, so that he can focus his efforts elsewhere (he’s currently putting together the February 2010 issue).
Lapine is accepting applications at warrenlapine at yahoo dot com. Applicants should include “references and links to your work. We are looking for someone that can hand in the finished layout and design in seven days from when they receive all materials. If you’re the kind of person who needs extensions or is uncertain whether you could handle this sort of deadline, don’t bother applying. Being late with the work is not an option. We would like to hire someone who is willing to maintain the current look of the magazine. Some creative tweaks are acceptable, but we are not looking for any kind of radical redesigns. Writers are often told to read a magazine before submitting to it. If you’re interested in this position, you would be wise to purchase a copy of the latest issue and flip through it with an eye toward its layout and design.”
