WE'RE HIJACKING THE SIGNAL AND WE NEED A VISUAL SABOTEUR.
Umbra Dynamics isn't a company. We're a movement operating on frequencies the mainstream refuses to acknowledge and we're building a webstore that looks like it was designed in a hackers basement, not a beige conference room.
THE BRIEF:
We need a Graphic Designer who treats Adobe Creative Suite like a broadcast tower. Someone who can take our Void Black palette and Umbra Orange aggression and turn it into stickers that ruin corporate laptops, clothing that starts conversations in dive bars, and web assets that look like they were smuggled out of a 1994 MTV broadcast suite.
YOU WILL:
* Design merchandise for our Retro Games Revival (think bootleg quality with professional execution)
* Build webstore visuals that feel like stumbling into an underground arcade after hours
* Create assets embracing scanlines, chromatic aberration, and the beautiful failure of digital systems
* Work across our own IP and represented third-party retro properties
* Translate "Modern Retro" into physical products—if it doesn't look like it was ripped from a bootleg VHS cover, you're doing it wrong
YOU ARE:
* Obsessed with 90s MTV aesthetics, Pirate TV energy, and the glitch as art form
* Fluent in high-contrast neon palettes (Void Black #0a0a0f, Electric Cyan #00f5d4, Toxic Purple #9d4edd—we don't do "friendly gradients")
* Able to vectorize chaos and make pixel decay look intentional
* Anti-corporate in your design DNA. If you've ever unironically suggested we "circle back," close this tab.
* Experienced in print-on-demand workflows, apparel design, and sticker production
* Ready to turn it up to 11. If your portfolio plays it safe, don't apply.
WE ARE NOT:
* Your "work family" (we're a collective of misfits, there's a difference)
* Interested in "synergy" or design-by-committee
* Going to ask you to "soften" the edges. The edges stay sharp.
THIS IS FOR:
Designers who grew up pausing VHS tapes to catch the tracking errors. Who understand that our catalogue deserves merchandise that looks sick, not sanitised. Who want to work on stickers that look like they were smuggled out of a bunker and apparel that vibrates with chaotic energy.
YOU GET:
* To work with actual 90s IP that defined British gaming
* Freedom to reject corporate design "rules"
* A portfolio piece that won't look like every other Dribbble post
* Access to the Frequency (our inner circle Discord where real decisions happen)
* The chance to preserve gaming heritage while corrupting modern design standards
TO APPLY:
Send your portfolio + one sentence on why "Retro is a Weapon"
No cover letters. No "dear hiring manager." Show us the chaos you've created. If we feel the static, you'll hear back.
THE SIGNAL IS OURS. WE NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN MAKE IT LOUDER.
Location: Dundee/Edinburgh hybrid (UK) or Remote for the right frequency
