orangeross_design asked:
I am looking to relocate to the Portland, OR area. Anyone a working designer in the area with some advice as to what places to look at or where to begin my job hunt (other than online job sites such as monster, or creative hotlist)? My wife and I are both mid level print designers. Any info would be helpful.
Unfortunately I do not reside in that area, so I don’t have first hand knowledge of whom you can approach (I live on the other side of either the Atlantic of the Pacific Ocean in Africa), yet I hope my advise will be helpful: Contact one of the newspapers being produced in that area. All newspapers have graphic design departments to produce advertising material, and usually there is a great turn-over in staff in those departments, as youngsters learn the trade and move on to greener pastures (larger corporations). Your chances probably are good to start off in a newspaper graphics department, and being in the advertising game, finding somethings better suited to your needs soon enough.
