That's Nice, But What's the Job?

In short, as an Graphic Designer, you will visualize and create graphics including illustrations, logos, layouts and photos. You'll be the one to shape the visual aspects of internal brand, communication, external job advertisements, social posts, and more. Your graphics should capture the attention of those who see them and communicate the right message. For this, you need to have a creative flair and a strong ability to translate requirements into design that communicates/informs information. The goal is to inspire and attract the target audience.

In long, our Graphic Designer is responsible for:

• Understand and translate concepts and/or written material into infographics or other visual ways to communicate information.

• Conceptualize and execute a variety of online, offline, graphics and multi-media creative projects as directed

• Communicate with and directly manage print and material orders with vendors

So What Kind of Folks Are We Looking for?
