Position: Graphic Designer and Website Designer

Scribe Video Center is currently seeking a graphic designer and website designer to create marketing materials, including a logo, for Muslim Voices in Philadelphia, a new community history project. This media project will train members of Philadelphia’s diverse Muslim communities in the skills of video documentation. Working collaboratively with area scholars and independent videomakers, community members will create a series of documentary histories looking at various Muslim communities from the late 1800s until today.

The marketing materials developed by the graphic designer will introduce Muslim organizations and individuals to the project as part of our outreach efforts. We seek to create an inviting, recognizable logo for Muslim Voices that makes clear both the general subject of the documentation and our specific focus on the Philadelphia region. Marketing materials will include a brochure and a website that describes the project.

For consideration, please submit samples of your work to jobs@scribe.org or call 215.222.4201. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
