Graphic Designer

Join Arkansas’ Premier Print Media Powerhouse

Full-Time Experienced Graphic Designer

AY Media Group – Home of the state’s largest and most celebrated print publications

We’re searching for a talented, deadline-driven graphic designer to join the creative engine behind Arkansas’ most trusted and award-winning titles:

• AY About You – the state’s flagship lifestyle monthly
• Arkansas Money & Politics – the definitive voice of business and influence
• Annual Mental Health Guide – a groundbreaking, high-impact publication making a real difference

This isn’t just another design job. This is your chance to shape the look and feel of publications that sit on every coffee table, waiting room, and executive desk across Arkansas. Your layouts will be seen by hundreds of thousands of readers every month, your ads will drive business results, and your work will consistently win state and regional awards.

What You Bring

• Proven print design experience with a killer portfolio of editorial layouts and advertising creative
• Mastery of the entire Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat) – you live in these programs
• Deep understanding of typography, grid systems, color theory, and what makes a magazine page turn
• Expert-level Mac user who can troubleshoot on the fly
• The rare ability to juggle multiple deadlines without ever dropping quality
• A collaborative spirit – you thrive in a fast-paced newsroom environment and elevate everyone around you
• Calm-under-pressure attitude, especially during “press week” crunch time
• Thick skin and an eagerness to grow – you welcome art-director feedback and turn it into even stronger work
• Client-facing polish when needed; you can present concepts to advertisers and account executives with confidence

What We Offer

• Full-time, in-office role at our Little Rock headquarters
• The prestige of working on Arkansas’ most recognized and decorated print brands
• A creative, award-winning team that pushes each other to be better every issue
• Real ownership of pages and projects – your vision will be on newsstands statewide
• The satisfaction of producing tangible, beautiful work that people hold in their hands (and keep for years)

If you’re a print-obsessed designer who still gets excited seeing your work fresh off the press, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
