·       We aim to be accessible to all, regardless of age or impairment

Job description:

Are you enthusiastic about making a difference in your community through your design skills?

Our charity is in need of a Graphic Designer to assist us during this exciting time. We are currently in the process of developing our marketing strategy, which means there are plenty of updates to be made to our marketing materials.

We are searching for a skilled Graphic Designer who is interested in helping us update/create our branding guidelines and develop a new set of assets for our promotional materials.

This will be a temporary role specifically for this project, unless the individual is interested in collaborating on future design tasks that may arise once the initial work is completed.

If you have a keen eye for design and are willing to work with us to create an engaging and accessible branding guideline, we would love to hear from you!

 

Project tasks:

·       Revise our branding colours and check for accessibility.

·       Provide a new pallet of colours for our branding which must pass accessibility tests.

·       Revise fonts.

·       Produce a set of assets to be used on our social media and any other advertising material.

 

What do you need to become our Graphic Designer?

 

Essential:

·       Professional experience with Graphic Designing.

·       Understanding about accessibility and able to make sure our logo, fonts and colours are all accessible.

·       Creativity and experience in developing effective marketing material.

·       Understanding brand guidelines and consistently implementing the brand voice across all produced marketing materials.

·       Experience in producing logos, assets and colour pallets.

 

By getting involved you will gain:

·       Space to develop your work and use your creativity.

·       It is a great opportunity for those professionals looking for using their gifts to reflect the needs of our community and help us reduce inequality.

·       It is also an opportunity to add to your portfolio and perhaps even develop your own projects alongside the team.

·       Try out some new techniques and get feedback on your work.

·       Become part of a friendly, enthusiastic and varied team.

 

 

Location: Fully Remote.  

Commitment:

The estimate of time needed is 3 hours a week but we can be flexible and work with you to find hours that fit ours and your schedule - all help is much appreciated.

 

How to apply:

Please send:

·       CV and cover letter demonstrating your experience with Graphic Design.

·       A link to your portfolio.

·       Tell us why you would like to support WfW.
