The posting
Your files become physical objects in front of an audience. That is a different job from designing for a screen.
Our client works at the intersection of live events, branding and experiential delivery, producing branding and signage, custom fabrication and on-site event execution for major properties in sports and entertainment. The work is physical and it is dated: artwork becomes a printed object on a wall, a stage or a concourse, and it either arrives right or it arrives wrong in front of an audience.
This is a production design seat, not a screen design seat. You take creative from concept through to production-ready artwork for small- and large-format branding and signage, you build 2D elements and textures for the render team to place into 3D layouts, and you prepare, correct and troubleshoot files so they meet real print specifications: bleeds, colour profiles, resolution at scale, print marks, cut paths.
You will also build templates for fabricated builds, pull dimensions out of SketchUp, Fusion or CAD drawings, and give and take creative direction across project managers, account teams, producers and other designers. If you have spent your career designing for screens, this will be a harder job than it looks. If you have sent files to a large-format printer and had them come back, you already know exactly what this role is.
