You have:

• fluency in Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and other relevant Adobe programs

• an extensive portfolio of great creative work across a wide range of media types - please submit your book with your application 

• technical skills that span both art direction and design

• ideas. And more ideas, even when your first ideas didn’t go anywhere. And then even more ideas when the ideas that came after your first ideas didn’t go anywhere

• the ability to think strategically and activate creatively

• the social skills to work well with others, the patience to collaborate, the positive attitude that developing great work commands

• the dexterity to juggle multiple projects at once

• the talent to do all of this with a smile and, occasionally, some well-timed sarcasm
