* Preston Kelly: Rock Star Designer Needed. Preston Kelly, the iconic ideas agency, is looking for a design rock star with one to three years experience and a book that looks like you’ve got five. You believe iconic design is the heart and soul of a great brand and great communication, but you’re not afraid to collaborate with art directors, writers, media planners, techno geeks and strategists about big ideas and media neutral approaches.  In other words, you are an idea focused designer who is not so single minded that design is the only solution you can see. You have designed award winning and outstanding identity systems, brand marks, posters, POP, collateral, and have a passion and affinity for designing user friendly and elegant web pages and digital communication.  You are the rare combination of self starter who doesn’t need supervision and master collaborator who seeks to raise your work to the highest levels of multi-level brand building.  You have a healthy ego but don’t always have to wave the baton. You are a strategic thinker, but your craft pushes the edge and gives your consumer credit for taste and intelligence.  Finally, you’d like to join a focused, fast growing, nationally emerging agency who treats each other with respect and a sense of grace and humor.
