We're looking for 2D Designers to join a very special new 2D pre-school series called, Maddie + Triggs for CBeebies and RTE. This audio-first series is founded on the principle that 'If two kids, one sighted and one vision impaired, sit down side by side to 'watch' the show, neither will have a lesser experience'. With accessibility as a primary consideration, you'll create environments/Locations, props and characters following the design style guide. For senior roles, previous series experience is essential.

Complete all rough, revised and final designs necessary within assigned deadlines.

Resolve design problems with creative supervisors.

Communicate progress of work to appropriate production staff.

Ensure all artwork is properly backed up and stored appropriately.

Skills:
Ability to closely follow established design rules, using minimum necessary detail to create an environment/background, through simple geometric shapes, strong silhouettes and contrasting colours.

Uncluttered 'storybook' design compositions that focus attention on characters and action.

Use of colour to establish and reflect the setting, mood, time of day etc as required.

High level of technical drawing skills to create clean and precise artwork.

Have a high level of technical drawing skills.

Creativity and innovation.

Experience of using FTrack desirable but not essential.
