Overview
Green Shoots Recruitment Ltd is looking for a Creative Artworker, for a small design consultancy with a busy and friendly studio. The candidate would hopefully take on all the artwork requirements for the business.
Predominantly the candidate would be producing artwork to support all of the retail projects but could also support the 2D designer at times – hence the preference for a more creative artworker.
Job Purpose:
1. To provide a professional and accurate artworker resource to all areas of the business.
2. In the main to produce design/artwork layouts of large scale POS for print.
3. To produce smaller pieces of 2D design work.
Job role outline:
The candidate will take on all artwork requirements for the business, dealing with many smaller projects concurrently. The projects will mainly consist of laying out artwork files using supplied assets and then preparing them for print. This could range from the resizing of a logo to art-working graphics for a whole store. The candidate will hopefully have a methodical ‘attention to detail’ mind when it comes to producing and saving files as this is a key area where accuracy is a must. With this being a new job role there will be times where an attitude of ‘mucking in’ would be required! They may also be required to support with some smaller pieces of actual design work but this isn’t the primary role.
Key requirements of the role:
1. Must have an extensive knowledge and understanding of the creative suite of programmes – photoshop, illustrator and in-design, font suitcase and other font programmes, also they should be aware of any relevant developments in technology that might improve performance.
2. Ensure the artwork is produced and prepared accurately – firstly for presentation to the client via e-mail and then for print.
3. Provide artwork support to the team where required.
4. Have the ability to work with assets from various brands and have an understanding of accessing these assets and working with them.
5. Have the ability to follow and understand brand guidelines.
6. Work within the set timescales.
7. Liaise with printers to discuss processes, cutter guides print spec etc.
8. Liaise with other members of the business to ensure the best possible results are achieved.
9. Maintain accurate file naming and organised saving of work.
10. Have a massive attention to detail.
