• Present design concepts using mock-ups or storyboards, clearly articulating the value and benefits of each approach to clients.

• Develop original design solutions that meet project requirements while navigating technical standards and constraints.
• Assist in the selection or creation of soundtracks and other audio elements to enhance a wide range of visual content and programming.
• Direct video shoots and the assembly of assets specifically designed to complement graphic and infographic concepts.
• Manage the production process through to the final format, except when specific elements need to be inserted by the producer.
• Perform in-depth, detailed research and analysis to solve new or complex design challenges where established standards and practices may not yet exist.
• Develop and recommend design standards for graphic and infographic content to ensure visual consistency across all programs and materials.
• Design and execute visual layouts, interfaces and navigation for web-based content and multimedia applications (CD-ROM).
• Ensure quality control throughout the project life cycle.
• Manage digital assets and storage by effectively archiving or deleting project-related content.
• Stay current with emerging trends in art, design and technology.
• Assist in building and maintaining a comprehensive image and media database (print, video, digital) for future reference and project integration.
• Participate in project reviews to assess progress and make corrections/adjustments or evaluate the success of completed initiatives.
• Complete the appropriate forms and documents; share information verbally or in writing to ensure proper followup and to keep others informed.
• Familiarize other employees with their duties and work environment.
