Australia? That looks like a random bird ****. I was thinking "What's bird **** got to do with sails?"

Fair play to Severne! I've just seen their new banner add that uses our material!!!

They've used our stuff in an advert.

I will order a 4m when my missus goes back to the UK on Thursday...

Do they rig on Amex masts?

I wonder if they asked permission to use the images and intellectual property before putting them in their banner

They are now full time employees of the new Severne Sails Graphics Design Department.
I wonder if these will end up on the sails?

Good to see that Severne have a sense of humour and are embracing the very skilled and talented work by posters in this thread.

Just saw the banner. That's hilarious.
At least we know they are reading this thread, and yes, they do have a sense of humour.

I don't think I've ever seen so many replies to a job ad where no-one is actually applying for the job.

I'm happy to run a copyright infringement case for anyone who feels aggrieved. Cash up front though.

I'm not sure but I think that as soon as we posted it, it belonged to seabreeze.. I imagine seabreeze gave it to them given that they are paying to advertise......

I reckon the people who got there art in the banner are pretty chuffed, even more so Ginger pom for his amazing forward thinking logo" severne sails are good"
Can i assume the banner is only running on seabreeze




At this stage.........

Graphic/Product Designer Full Time
Perth - Western Australia
Salary dependant on experience

[b]

Qualifications and skills should include:


• Tertiary training in graphic design and/or product design
• A minimum of one year graphic design experience would be preferred
• An active knowledge of the action sport industry specifically windsurfing or surfing
• Competent English language skills required
• Ability to work well independently, have excellent follow up skills and self-initiative
• Must be ready and willing to take on any number of small projects as need arises and prepared for a challenging creative environment



Please send a short C.V, optimized PDF Portfolio and contact information to:

HR@severnesails.com

Please respond only to the above address.



Further to the requirements above, I recently drafted an advertising campaign for an Australian based sail maker. I employed web media to canvas and collaborate with members of the desired marketing segment. Several designs were compiled and were joined together into a banner advert giving broad appeal.

The advertising campaign focused on Australia and Severne sails being good. It was well received in the industry and led to critical acclaim (as indicated by green thumbs).

This further builds on my value proposition of having my own felt tips and being prepared to work for food and kit.
