Graphic Designer Job at DSI Systems in Richardson

OK, Star lords, are you on a quest to collect the Infinity Stones of Opportunity, Creativity, Imagination, Teamwork, Professional Growth, and Artistic Adventure? Then buckle up and get ready for some potentially life-altering questions:

• Is your Jedi-level design creativity looking for a new outlet? A new hope or hyperspace route to showcase your creative abilities? (Yes, we just switched movie references on you, with no regrets.)
• Is graphic design, publishing layout, color theory, typography, and attention to even the smallest details part of your professional DNA?
• Do you think you can apply your exceptional graphic design and illustration skills to great success in a corporate environment?
• Are you a quick, creative thinker who loves working with others to brainstorm ideas that are just crazy enough to work?
• Do you ever catch yourself doodling random shapes, designs, characters, or creatures on whatever blank surface is in front of you? (Wait, you’re doing it right now, aren’t you?)
• Do you want to create clever, visually appealing, scroll-stopping designs for social media platforms?
• Can you transform an elaborate, wordy, or just plain boring PowerPoint presentation into an easy-to-understand and aesthetically pleasing work of art?
• Do you stare down quick turnarounds and tight deadlines with an icy glare and say, “Bring it on”?
• Have you ever asked yourself, “How can I turn my superior skills in graphic design, layout, and illustration into a job that provides a solid paycheck, great benefits, and personal and professional satisfaction, with a chance to grow and evolve in a field I love, AND work with some solid Starfleet officers to boot?” (That’s right, we did it again. Another movie reference switch-up!)
