Junior Designer
Protocol's Product team is seeking a designer to complement and elevate its visual storytelling for our rapidly growing content, alongside the Creative Director.
The designer will collaborate with writers and editors to produce high-impact designs and thoughtful illustrations for Protocol's digital-forward journalism experience. Ideally, you're a self-starter able to think creatively about tech news content.
The designer will:
- Produce high-quality design deliverables, whether the output is an illustration, photo-illustration, icon or typography-focused visual, with supervision and guidance from the Creative Director, Head of Product and/or senior editors.
- Creatively problem-solve using available tools or methods.
- Responsibly self-manage daily and long-term projects.
- Participate in some development of front-end experiences.
- Collaborate with team members in several time zones.
- Be committed to creating a culture of high ambitions, big ideas and truly excellent work — and also one that is collaborative, diverse, inclusive and fun.
Our ideal candidate has:
- At least a year or two of internships and/or professional design experience in either editorial or creative studio environments.
- Knowledge of good design basics: typography, color and composition.
- Strong illustration skill with a wide range of styles.
- A keen eye for detail and awareness for creative trends and design sensibility.
- The ability to communicate about design.
- An ability and willingness to learn and share knowledge.
- Must be fluent in Adobe Creative Suite (specifically Illustrator and Photoshop).
- Familiarity with HTML/CSS and any content-management systems (CMS).
- Some working knowledge of photography, motion graphics and/or UI/UX.
- Some knowledge of the tech industry, or willingness to read and research about the tech industry.
