Creative Designer
We are looking for a talented Creative Designer to work across various disciplines within this growing retail business. From brochures and website banners to leaflets, press ads and digital assets including animation, our design team are continually challenged creatively. The main part of the role will be to work across local and national newspaper/magazine press advertising including creation of adverts and maintaining the schedule and sending final artwork to the publications set up to their specifications.
You’ll already have a good knowledge of design principles and will be able to work to brand guidelines and specific briefs, ensuring that production deadlines are being met and supplying pre-press artwork ready for print and finished digital assets. Any knowledge of working across national press advertising and digital assets would be a distinct advantage. To be successful you’ll need to be super organised and have the ability to manage your own workload including the weekly press schedule, and jump between projects as necessary! You’ll be an expert with Adobe Creative Suite including InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and ideally be experienced in using Adsend. Also knowledge of Adobe XD and animation would be advantageous, but not essential. You’ll have a keen eye for detail when it comes to type-setting, layout and high quality re-touching ensuring a quality finish to all creative output from the studio.
