The ‘cracking’ team responsible for the news-spreading-but-not-by-us social media stat widget whatsit [on the right] are looking for a designer/graffiti security at their Dublin-based operation.
In some damn hipster ‘hub’, if you’re not careful.
Founder Paul Quigley sez:
This is a full time position with significant creative control. In the next six months you’ll be leading design work on projects including:
- Making changes to UI and features in Spike, based on user feedback, testing and customer interviews.
- Opening up our consumer site functionality, and working on our widgets for our off-site network.
- Engineering our user journey and signup flow. We have great products but we’re still working on getting them under people’s noses. Intelligent user journey design will be a big part of getting this right.
- Mobile app design, including planning better Facebook and Twitter integration for our apps and bringing a user experience perspective to further product development.
- Some brochure and other graphic design for marketing materials.
Chompsky sez:
We can’t speak for them as bosses but out ‘user journey’ with Newswhip has been lovely to date.
The Predator 2 motorcycle helmet ($780) complete with dreadlock mullet and tri-laser (LED) ‘scope’.
Optional extras include tiny spearheads on the end of the dreads, and a ‘hyper real’ airbrush finish complete with scars and plasma burns.
Watch the promo video here. Then go paint your 1989 Yamaha Jog black.
HELLO?
HELLO?
F@%*ing thing.

GOOD times.

Last January top Irish windsurfer Mikey Clancy passed away tragically at the age of 22. At the time you very kindly posted this tribute. During his last months he had visited Pieta House [suicideation and self harm treatment centre]. His friends and I are putting on an auction event in The Morrison Hotel on May 23rd in his memory. It will be hosted by Marty Whelan and all proceeds will go to this extremely worthy cause.
