What You'll Do

• Produce concept art, illustrations, and digital designs from a creative brief

• Deliver assets for a wide range of needs, from corporate partnerships to comics.

• Use colour palettes, textures, and linework to evoke specific moods.

• Check artwork for print accuracy, colour requirements, panel alignment, and quality.

• Meet existing art standards and style guidelines, ensuring consistency and continuity.

• Adapt and polish artwork based on creative feedback to hit tight production deadlines

• Contribute to the ongoing development of multiple family-friendly brands.

• Manage your assigned tasks and timelines using agreed workflows, keeping accurate job notes and status updates in our project management system.

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite.

• Experience working on MacBooks with drawing tablets.

• The ability to draw and work quickly, take direction, and navigate constructive criticism.
