Here’s what your day will look like as our Graphic Designer

You start your day with the team, catching up over coffee and sharing your plans for the day. The morning kicks off with a design meeting where you’ll be reviewing the concepts for an upcoming conference. You’ll refine a few banners and social media assets, making sure they align with the event’s branding. After the meeting, you jump into finalizing the presentation templates that the team will use at the event, ensuring they’re polished and ready for delivery.

Lunchtime is a chance to relax with your colleagues and swap stories about the weekend. In the afternoon, you dive into some design feedback you received on a recent brochure. You make revisions and tweak the layout to ensure the message is clear and visually engaging. You then collaborate with the Marketing team, ensuring the social media posts for the upcoming event are on track. After reviewing the designs, you create a few new visuals for an ad campaign.

Before wrapping up the day, you organize the design files and update the project library, ensuring everything is properly stored and easy to access for future use. You check your emails, make any necessary adjustments to your designs, and call it a day, heading home after a productive day of creative work.

• A keen eye for detail and an understanding of brand consistency.
