Digital Artist

A Digital Artist creates video and pictorial content for use in online media. You might plan material and work with a small crew to produce it. Digital Artists might coordinate film shoots, carry out editing and perform post-production work. Your work might focus on a particular subject or you might cover a range of topics.

Digital Artists should have strong technical skills and be comfortable using a range of digital platforms. You’ll need to be creative and able to come up with unique and innovative ideas. Digital Artists should be aware of current trends and up to date with current affairs. It’s important you can manage your time and meet deadlines when required.
