Part-time Graphic designer Jobs in West Vancouver, BC

The role

The role of content designer is to create the experience for our audiences across each channel. You will need to design and leverage templates to deliver a consistent but tailored experience for articles, video content, social media and newsletter content that results in high-quality assets to feed the publishing process. You will be expected to contribute directly to the creative process and help shape our content to be the best expression of our brand possible.

The job

Using the ingredients produced by the content and production teams, you will use Figma to create the layouts and assets needed to support our content streams and our publishing team.

Each piece of content (article, video, etc.), and all of its social and promotional assets, are conceived, created and approved in Figma and then exported for publishing. You will be required to select, find or create artwork that represents the content with clarity and captures the attention of our community. You will need to make layout decisions on-the-fly and adapt to less-than-ideal inputs (low-res imagery), changes (last-minute pricing) and challenges (terrible weather) consistent with a fast-paced, real-time media environment.

Scope of work

The Studio produces between 5-8 articles per week, from simple resources to epic episode articles. On average, you will need to be able to handle —

2-3 complex (layout, charts, graphs, multiple imagery selection)

2-3 standard (layout, imagery, media, modules)

4-5 simple (layout, imagery)

Each article will require social assets and newsletter artwork with some requiring ad unit and additional promotional assets in different sizes and formats (carousels, thumbnails, IG Stories, etc). Our anticipated weekly asset requirements include —

30-50 social assets (across all channels)

8-12 newsletter images

3-5 video thumbnails (landscape and portrait)
