Wordbank•Los Angeles, CA

6d•$105 - $105•Remote

About The Position

Wordbank is seeking experienced, Norwegian or Danish speaking, Graphic Designers for an ongoing project with a renowned international streaming service. This project focuses on localizing title image content for various global markets. As part of the team, you will be responsible for recreating English title images (logos) in your native language. While translations will be provided, your role will involve designing visually compelling and culturally appropriate localized titles and logos for TV shows and movies. We’re seeking designers who are able to create both 2D and 3D graphics from scratch based on detailed specs and a brief, who can provide consultation on what designs will work for the target market, and who are excited about working in a deadline-driven team environment in a virtual capacity. Designers need to have access to their own Photoshop and Illustrator, and 3D design software (Blender, Maya etc). We'll be managing the workflow through JIRA, our project tracking system, on which we can provide training. This is an ongoing freelance engagement, and if hired, we request that you are available to design at least 2 titles per week. The standard turnaround time for a title is 8 hours. We require a test as part of the evaluation process and will first need a signed confidentiality form since the test includes client-specific information. This confidentiality form is primarily for confidentiality purposes and does not require you to commit to the project. You retain all rights to withdraw your application at any time during the hiring process.
