Point B Communications, a branding & advertising agency in Chicago’s West Loop, is searching for an Art Director to join its growing creative department.
Who We Are
Point B is a branding and digital agency with over 50 years of experience. Though much has changed since we first opened our doors in 1972, branding remains our core competency – the place where we thrive and help our clients thrive as well. We believe the ultimate success of any product or service always comes back to the brand. When our branding work is done, we work just as hard to bring that brand to market with smart strategies and seamless execution. Even then, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. There’s always hot espresso on hand, cold beer in the fridge, quarters in the arcade game, and plenty of fun-loving co-workers to keep things interesting.
The Art Director Role
The right fit for our Art Director role will have core competency in layout building and typography for print and digital projects within established brands. This person should be very comfortable with core Adobe apps such as inDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and XD and yes, even Keynote/Powerpoint/GSuite productivity. Our Art Director will exercise their skills in creating graphic projects such as collateral systems, direct mail, landing pages, banners, and more. Things aren’t always so predictable though – they could also oversee projects such as environmental graphics, bus wraps, logos, and anything else our clients throw at us. Willingness to adapt, identify and ask for missing resources, and learning as they go will be important.
This person is obsessed with layout and clear communication of information – They are skilled in creating systems of visual hierarchy that correctly communicate information priority, are visually engaging, and scalable across multimedia design systems. They don’t just set the copy – they strive to understand it, so they can communicate it correctly and make thoughtful edits. This person must be fastidiously organized and methodical in their approach to creative file setup, organization, and asset management, and be willing to adhere to teamwide standards of process as well as assist in building new ones. Our Art Director should know their way around vendor specifications and be able to build production-ready files with minimal supervision. This person should be an excellent creative proofer with an obsessive eye for detail, able to effectively troubleshoot graphic design challenges small and large.
If well-organized layers, master pages, character & paragraph styles, swatch library files, and golden ratio grids make your heart sing – we want to hear from you.
