Hiyall,

We have a contract position opening soon to develop at least one website, with the possibility of a full time job doing graphic and website design further down the track. Our company, Mammoth Media, is a small software development company; we currently manage BigPond GameArena (http://games.bigpond.com) and the AusGamers Network (http://www.ausgamers.com).

Previous experience working in a team in this field is preferred. We're basically after someone that knows their way around Photoshop, is comfortable creating innovative new designs and graphic elements, and can work to a production timetable.

If you're just getting started in the industry but are exceptionally talented, we're still interested in hearing from you.

Please send portfolios/resumes/links to sample sites to me at david@mammoth.com.au. Please note that we will need to see sample websites - concept art / model renders etc aren't much use to us :)

Thanks,
-- David
