Shatterglass Studios :: Designer for New-Media Experiment (Unpaid)

Shatterglass Studios is seeking a forward-thinking graphic designer who is interested in participating with us in a new-media experiment.

We’re looking for a talented individual who thinks outside the box in regards to graphic design, and who is interested and excited about the future convergence of print, web and video for informational and emotional delivery. Shatterglass Studios is an award-winning film and video production studio made up of a small team of young creatives who are striving to bring high production value and innovative new media techniques to the central Illinois region.

If you’d be interested participating in this small new-media and design experiment, please contact us at moc.soidutsssalgrettahsnull@ekul. Please attach a resume and accessible portfolio (PDF or online) with your message.
