Purdue Hackers aims to help others find their people and make things together regularly. + +Please read the `README.md` for more information if you haven't already. + +# About the role + +Purdue Hackers has become very design-driven over the past two years. Via [our homepage](https://purduehackers.com), [socials](https://instagram.com/purduehackers), and [laser-cut collectibles](https://arc.net/l/quote/nhmllfoo), we’ve crafted a bold & recognizable visual identity. + +This year, we want to ramp up our visual output—but across making a new badge every week, shipping a new brand, and designing weekly badges, our current design team is already quite capacity-constrained. We’re looking for 3 new designers to help them out. + +## What you will do + +- Create marketing materials for upcoming events, such as workshops, to be shared with professors & posted to our social media +- Work with the Hack Night Badges project owner & be responsible for the badge for some weeks +- Help create a new brand and integrate it into a new website & all our visual comms +- End-to-end ideate, design, and roll out a brand for an event we’re running at the end of the semester + +While your main focus will be design work, you are encouraged to wear many hats & contribute to any other part of Purdue Hackers if you feel inspired to do so. + +## About you + +You will be a great fit for this role if you: + +- Are extraordinarly kind, humble, creative, and curious +- Deeply resonate with Purdue Hackers & feel inspired to make it better +- Are a talented designer with an established portfolio + +Bonus points if you: + +- Have done brand design work in the past and/or are interested in high-level thinking about Purdue Hackers' brand +- Have good executive function and can work without much direction +- Are weird and/or have felt in the past like you struggled to find your people + +## Time commitment + +Some organizers spend 5-10 hours per week; others spend 20-30 hours per week. Some weeks will be heavier than others, but you can probably send somewhere in the 5-10 hour range and be successful. We're all full-time students, though, & are happy to be flexible. + +# How to apply + +Send an email to purduehackers@gmail.com including **"designer fall 2024”** (case-insensitive) in the subject line with the following: + +- Tell us about yourself. Who are you, what are you studying, what are some of your hobbies, any other relevant things? +- What resonates with you about Purdue Hackers? +- What resonates with you about this role? +- If you have a portfolio of past work, please share it. +- Between badges, marketing materials, and brand designing, which excite(s) you the most? + - This won’t affect your application, just curious what people gravitate more toward +- Anything else you find relevant + +The structure of the email is up to you, but please "be real"—we're students reading these too, and we're strongly anti-bullshit. Be authentically yourself! + +## Next steps + +We will reply to confirm we've received it; after that, you will only hear from us if we're interested in following up. There's no deadline on either end, and it's possible this position won't be filled for a while. + +If we're interested in following up, we'll reach out to schedule a 20-minute Zoom call to get to know each other better. + +After the call, you will receive a response—acceptance or rejection—within a week. + +--- + +For questions, please email mstanciu[at]purdue.edu or ask in `#lounge` in our Discord.
