Visual Designer

A Visual Designer looks after the overall look of a brand or project. You’ll liaise with marketing and graphic design colleagues to develop visual concepts and oversee the production of materials with this look. Visual Designers may work with clients to discuss their needs and come up with concepts on their behalf. You’ll ensure all material produced has a consistent look from colours, fonts and images to layouts and text.

Visual Designers need to be creative and have excellent attention to detail. You’ll need to be up to date with current trends and able to come up with unique ideas. Visual Designers work with a range of people from clients to colleagues so you’ll need to be a good communicator. You should be able to present your ideas with authority and be able to work to a deadline.
