JOB – User interface graphic designer for games UI/UX

We’re looking for a talented user interface graphic designer for games to join our team on a variety of cross-platform projects, to see them through from concept to delivery. Specifically we’re interested to see portfolios focusing on interface design for games and well as logos, brand graphic design.

Ideally you will have at least 1 to 2 years of commercial experience of graphic design for games, but equally if you’re a super talented graduate, moving from a different creative field or self taught with a passion for game production and attention to detail, then we’re interested to hear from you. You MUST provide a CV with examples of your work.

• Creative designer with an excellent attention to detail!
• Skilled at working with bitmap and vector based graphic design.
• Highly proficient in Adobe Photoshop

• Love producing UI and interface designs
• Able to adapt to many different art styles.

• Preparing, optimising textures for Texture Packer
• Experience using Esoteric Spine or similar animation software
• Knowledge of general digital media asset production
