Employment Vacancies and Leads

Employment Vacancies




Looking through the internet I found three job vacancies that would be suitable.


Creative Designer



This job is set in Bristol and has a salary of £25,000 per annum, it is looking for someone with a well polished portfolio who is a natural at digital art programs like photoshop and illustrator. They also need you to have a keen eye for typography, colour and layout which will help to pinpoint a variety of design techniques to solve specific design problems. You also need to be good at multitasking and communication. Bringing something new to the job would be a massive bonus as well.

This job sounds really good but I don't think it will give me much creative freedom, also I think it would be aimed more towards graphic designers.

Designer And Artworker - Design & Print

This job is set in Surrey and the salary is £ 25000-30000 Per Annum. The company is a supplier of design and print and they have a design studio where they create high quality printed material, they are looking for someone who is hard-working and good under pressure with good knowledge of digital art programs, especially 3D would be a bonus. 

This job sounds more like a following job not leading like the one before, which I prefer as I don't have much experience.

Creative Artworker

This job is based in Waltham Cross and pays £18 per hour, they are looking for someone with photoshop skills on the mac. They also want you to be  highly organised, a good communicator and have good attention to detail. As well as that you need a strong portfolio.


This job seems more flexible than the rest with the whole £X per hour, it also seems like it's based in a studio with macs which I am not used to.




Employment Leads




Disney Character Designer


I have always loved Disney and it would be absolutely amazing to be a character designer there, I have grown up with it's classic films and I loved how even with each style change the movies were so predominately Disney. Although the company had declined over the years and a lot of their films come across as the same old stuff again, after seeing Tangled it feels like the company may be going up-hill again and having a chance to create a princess, villain or comedy relief character with my own little twist or even have an influence on the films style would actually be a dream come true, especially since character design has become my passion over the years.


Studio Ghibli Character Designer


I discovered Ghibli in my late teen's and I fell in love with how the films weren't just the typical prince meet princess story's. Most were about the journeys of the characters. I'd love to do illustrations for Ghibli but they don't really need them, but drawing the designs for the characters would be so much fun, especially since the films have amazing slightly unusual designs even though the style doesn't change like with Disney. Unfortunately being based in Japan would cause language barriers but it is still one of my dreams to work there.


Square Enix Character Designer


Until I actually looked into this company I wasn't really impressed but once I played Kingdom Hearts it opened my eyes to the company I discovered the amazing designs Tetsuya Nomura (Now one of my hero's) for the Final Fantasy games as well as Kingdom Hearts and The World Ends With You. I think my dream job would be Nomura's, he designs the characters for the games as well as monsters and the plot, all his designs are so unique they are one of the things that makes the whole company stand out. I am not even a game fan but some of Square's work is absolutely breathtaking and working there would be a dream come true, although since the company is situated in Japan like Ghibli there would be language barriers.
