Vacancy Graphic Designer
Are you passionate about graphic design and eager to shape the visual identity of a quarterly zine? Do you have a vision for what Simulacrum could look like? We're looking for a Graphic Designer to join our team, with a modest stipend and plenty of creative freedom.
Simulacrum is a zine at the crossroads of art, literature, and theory that can be found in print in bookshops from Amsterdam and London to Paris and Milan. For over 30 years, we have been involved in a tight community of artists, writers, academics, and zine-makers. Besides printing, Simulacrum organises exhibitions, filmscreenings, symposia, and collective readings.
Requirements
We’re looking for a graphic designer with talent and ambition, who is eager to build their portfolio by working on a professional, real-world publication.
You must be able to work with Adobe InDesign or a comparable layout tool, and be comfortable navigating the structure, expectations, and tight deadlines that come with producing a quarterly magazine.
You bring a sharp eye for detail, drive to grow, and willingness to collaborate within an editorial team.
Website design skills are a plus

A modest fee per design
Plenty of artistic freedom to shape the visual identity of Simulacrum
A close-knit editorial team that values collaboration and creativity
Access to a vibrant network of artists, writers, zines, and independent bookstores
A well-established cultural platform, with a strong online presence with 5,000+ followers
To apply, please send us your portfolio, a brief motivation to [email protected] and let us know whether you prefer to work independently or in collaboration with another designer.
