Fest is looking for an in-house graphic designer to join its team in Amsterdam.

Graphic designer

In this in-house role you will deliver the best quality, creative work. You’re the storyteller, telling our story, making our brand identity come to life across all touchpoints. You never fail to surprise and amaze with your original creations. Having experience in the field, you fully understand the importance of design production and final artwork preparation within a creative environment.

We are looking for someone who is living in/near to Amsterdam – because we like to see each other face-to-face every week.

This role needs a pro-active graphic designer with experience to produce compelling ideas and execution across creative design, retail, animation, illustration. An experience working with still and moving imagery material is a bonus. A keen eye on detail and typography is also needed. Last but not least, you have a love for photography and/or videography; the inconsolable urge to work with the best photographers, videographers and editors and a finger licking enthusiasm to edit pictures and video content, conform our identity.

Context

You’re the ‘go to’ person for the graphics output within the marketing and ecommerce department. You’ll report to the head of brand.

Responsibilities:

• develop ideas which are on-brand and own creative projects and preparing all assets to a final artwork stage
• act as a brand guardian. You’ll convey the brand vision and ensure the visual aesthetic and tone-of-voice are consistently communicated across all touch points
• develop seasonal communication layouts, campaign guidelines, and artworks
• create digital assets across all channels that are both inspirational but also drives impact
• develop retail and event collateral; both print and digital
• create and raise the bar of the future of our visual style for the upcoming years
• translate a brief into a wonderful visual surprise
• you know everything from print to online, from packaging to a brand catalog, flyers, etc. etc. You create whatever is needed. Your visuals are your babies: you take care of them from A to Z
• you are actively engaged with what’s happening in the world of design and in the world of our customer and loves to bring these two together to create impactful communication

Who we are looking for

For us a brilliant brain, creativity, and the right attitude, are more important than certain years of working experience. So, a portfolio says more than the CV.

There is a pro if you’ve completed studies in art or graphic design (or related field) and ideally a minimum of three plus years of experience within graphic design.

Of course, you’re familiar with design software such as InDesign and Illustrator and proficient in artwork development & preparation as well as production processes.

What would make you successfull in this job:

• you have a natural feel for what FEST is about and you have a strong vision on how these ingredients should be translated into a visual identity
• you have a keen eye for aesthetics, colors, and trends. Your designs are powerful and ever surprising
• a vision of communication channels and branding
• you’re a team player: at FEST titles are less important. Together we move mountains, this means we help each other with wherever needed
• you are curious, flexible and resilient: we’re growing at a fast pace and we thrive on continuous improvement
• whether is graphic, motion or digital design: you are ambitious and eager to learn and improve all your skills
• you have a strong sense of ownership, and you can keep your focus on highest-impact priorities

At FEST we believe that optimism is a superpower; a mentality we value deeply and seek in our candidates as well.
