Our client, a well-known retailer west of Boston, is looking for a Junior Designer to join their Studio Team in a freelance to full-time capacity!
This is a hybrid (Tues-Thurs), 40 hours per week opportunity for the next 6 months + with the goal to go full-time for the right person.
The Junior Designer will be joining their in-house studio team that is focused on production and design services for the larger organization. You will be developing original designs, reviewing edits, executing production-ready materials, pre-flighting and releasing files to vendors.
While this role is heavy on the print side, it's really important to the team that you have exposure to After Effects/motion work as there are projects that come up in that space.
**Motion design samples will be required for consideration**
Key responsibilities are:
- Translate strategic direction to create high-quality original designs within the visual identity system
- Ensure final graphics and layouts are visually strong and in alignment with the brand campaign
- Work with copywriters and art directors to produce concepts and manage design across all components
- Apply direction and feedback to enhance designs
- Produce print and digital materials including direct mail, catalogs, emails, banners and video
- Create print and digital layouts, make edits, test and preflight files and release final assets
The ideal Junior Designer will have:
- 1+ years of experience in a design role; retail or corporate experience a plus!
- A portfolio showcasing your work across print and digital
- Basic understanding of After Effects (creating videos from storyboards ideally)
- Expertise in Indesign
- Ability to manage multiple projects at once with different timelines
