What you will be doing:
Templates and Brand Consistency

Design Execution
* Build packaging and SRP artwork for new and existing products, sizes and variants using existing templates and approved design guidelines.
* Lay out IFUs using supplied content, icons and style guides, ensuring instructions are clear, legible and correctly linked to product packs.
Advanced artwork builds and preparation
* Produce accurate packaging artwork from master design through to print ready files, including IFUs and information heavy packs.
* Prepare artwork with correct layers, bleeds and colour settings, carrying out quality checks before handing to the Senior or Manager for final sign off.
* Manage your own workload across multiple briefs, delivering to agreed timelines within the Creative Team.
* Work closely with the Artwork Manager, Senior Creative Artworker, Designers and key stakeholders to understand briefs, ask questions early and action feedback.
* Follow studio workflows for briefs, feedback, approvals and handover to production, keeping files and versions organised.
File and Asset Management
* Name, store and archive artwork files and linked assets so ranges are easy to find, update and reuse.
* Maintain clear version control across initial artwork, amends and final files.
What skills and experiences you’ll need to ace this job:
* Highly proficient across Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, with strong Photoshop skills.
* Strong design skills with a good eye for layout, composition and typography.
* Experience working from templates and an understanding of how print and finishing affect artwork.
