I’m overwhelmed producing cheap vector art for the consuming masses and now I need help. Jacobin is looking for an Art Editor to assist with the visual end of the magazine. The main responsibilities include selecting images (without getting us sued) to pair with blog posts and commissioning artists to do work for the issues. Secondary responsibilities may include assisting me in typesetting the print magazine (it’s easy and I’ll teach you Indesign).

Foremost, I’m looking for someone to bounce ideas off of in producing Jacobin‘s design. I’ve been given far too much power over the look of the magazine and now I want company. Otherwise, I’m stuck with Bhaskar; tasteless, petty bourgeois scoundrel that he is, he’d probably let me run anything from Boyz II Men videos to animated gifs of cats pummeling small children.

You don’t have to be an artist or designer to fill the position, but you must have an understanding of visual communication. We need someone with a solid grasp of the magazine’s writing and a keen sense of aesthetics. It’s a fine balance, but we neither want socialist realist propaganda nor do we want you to turn our blog into an Instagram reel.
