Production Artist
Washington D.C. Metro Area
My role was an entry to mid-level position in the design department. I worked independently on assigned projects, or as a member of a project team. I worked up concepts and fulfilled layout assignments according to supplied strategic and creative input. I occasionally worked directly with account services, or with production artists and outside contractors (freelancers and vendors), but more typically, I worked under the direction of art directors and the Production/Traffic manager. My key responsibilities were:· Supporting graphic designers and art directors on campaign development and production deliverables, as well as keeping the company website and client websites current.· Supporting new business and company needs for meetings, presentations, and internal design projects, as well as being accountable for assigned budgets and alerts production manager if this is questionable before the budget is exceeded.· Working with art directors, graphic designers, copywriters and additional designated “team” personnel in production of said materials.· Assisting in archiving and maintaining digital files, project hard copies, photography, illustrations, logo art, typestyles, historical collateral samples, etc., of client materials and resources, and in maintaining a log of said archives to assist other department members in locating necessary files and references.
