Designer (Junior)
We're looking for a purpose-led junior designer with excellent precision and attention to detail.
We’re a creative studio based in London. 14 full time people work here but we bring in external collaborators on nearly every project.
We’re so lucky to work on some of the most exciting projects out there, with clients that trust us to challenge conventions across sport, tech, health and entertainment. Whether that’s helping Arsenal create the most LGBTQ+ inclusive match in football history. Or making documentaries about sign language for the Wellcome Collection. Or turning billboards across London into a gallery of real Snapchat users’ most relatable Snaps. In short, brands come to us to make original work that feels human, welcoming and full of heart — and brains.
Now, we’re growing and looking for talented individuals to join our team.
We welcome applications from all candidates and encourage those from BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ backgrounds to apply. We value attitude, courage and work ethic as much as skills and experience.
We're not a branding agency or design studio. Instead, most of our work takes the form of advertising campaign, original content and video. The key focus of this role is about executing design with beautiful precision. Taking references from across culture, understanding the visual guidelines for each brand, and building a world from these two elements.
These are the main things you’ll need to do, across a few of our clients:
- Work with the team to develop visual treatments for our campaigns, building precise and stunning visual worlds for our campaigns
- Find references from across culture, to inform the design direction of our projects
- Produce stills assets with excellent composition and attention to detail
- Take big-picture concepts from the conceptual team and transform them into campaign assets
- Working closely with motion designers, who can take your work and animate it
- Prepare compelling presentations for clients
- Help us create design toolkits and guidelines
- Explore sub-cultures and emerging trends, bringing those references into our work
Required skills and experience
- No paid experience necessary
- Evidence of creative and design projects, whether self-initiated or as part of a course or degree
- Proven love and talent for visual creativity
- Strong graphic design skills across Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign
- Nice to haves: some experience with motion design, 3D, Cavalry, and photo/video shoots
- Basic knowledge of social media platforms and youth audiences
Some extra info
- We can only hire people with the right to work in the UK.
- All team members get 25 days holiday per year (pro rata for part-time roles).
- You can work flexibly and from home, but you can also come into the office during weekdays (we’re based in Shoreditch).
- You can bring a dog to the office if you have one and it follows the office rules.
How to apply?
Please send work examples or links to people@weirdo.work.
CVs optional, but it would be great to understand what it is you're looking for in the role, your background, and what excites you about design's power to change the world for the better.
