[job] Illustrator/Graphic Designer

Role
You'll illustrate, animate and design foreground and background elements for a range of HTML5 web games for our dynamic, kid-friendly brand.

This position requires a great thinker and not just a painter as you will be involved in working out the most efficient way to design the required elements. There will also be design work required for assets on the website as well, so a strong sense of general graphic design is also very important.

Responsibilities
Work with a team to design, illustrate, and enhance mobile and web based games
Collaborate with others to formulate requirements for changes and additions to the games
Provide time estimates for various development tasks

Requirements
3+ years’ experience
Illustrate in a range of kid-friendly styles
