Junior Media Designer

A client of TEKsystems is hiring for a remote, junior level media designer. This person will be working on product design reviews, quality assurance, and tweaking of art assets and have experience working in creative roles.

This person will work closely with an expert-level media designer produce the processes and guidelines, and then an outside vendor creates the content or asset (in this case, a video, but it could be any type of asset). When they receive the asset back, the media designer uses a template or guideline to do side-by-side comparisons to iterate on the asset. The designers typically do 2-3 rounds of iterations.
