Tips for Writing a Illustrator Job Description

Illustrators convert written and spoken ideas into a visual format to help convey information to the end users, consumers, and prospective buyers. Common examples of illustrations include infographics, whitepaper visuals, and expanded/exploded isometric views of a 3D rendering, which is usually made by another creative, such as a 3D animator.

An illustrator’s role is to use colors, text, images, and symbols to design graphics and make information easier for audiences to understand. Engineering illustrators, for example, may be involved in blueprint reviews to ensure all manufacturing and construction callouts are correctly placed and spaced and represent the correct items. Even seemingly minor errors, such as an extraneous counterbore in a steel girder, can cost hours of time and may even result in damaging the integrity of a structure.

An illustrator should be proficient with visual programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator and familiar with layouts and graphic fundamentals. Standard fields that illustrators excel in are advertising, digital design, and branding.

The section below will cover a sample job description, exploring the daily responsibilities and necessary qualifications for an illustrator.

4 Steps to Creating an Illustrator Job Description That Fits Your Needs

There are many professional illustrators out there, so you must understand what you need before hiring. Below are some factors to consider to help you choose the right fit for your company:

1. Type of Illustrators

Illustrators have many types of specializations: print, fine arts, video, multimedia, engineering, branding. Illustrators may also come from a variety of backgrounds. Some may specialize in illustrating editorial such as books and articles; others may excel in illustrating materials for educational videos and other content for children.

For example, an illustrator who studied engineering and machining before switching to illustration—after discovering a love for visual media through their engineering design fundamentals course—might provide excellent support in reviewing engineering blueprints, while a cartoon animator probably would not.

2. The Position

Illustrators can be hired in-house, contracted through an agency, or hired as freelancers.

In-house illustrators can be great for all projects, but building out the right team requires a hefty investment. Hiring a full-time graphic designer through an agency is excellent for short-term projects, as they can provide reliable results, but they are likely to cost more in the long term as a result of higher hourly rates and the agency’s margin on the labor tab.

Freelance illustrators provide a balance, as they do not require time investments and can produce good results on both short- and long-term projects.

3. Experience

Experience is a valuable resource for assessing potential hires. A junior illustrator may be more suited for projects such as children’s books or advertising materials that require a broad skill set, as they have a great deal of potential but lack experience.

A senior illustrator is great for a project that demands a specific skill set. Some common examples here include senior engineering illustrators, who may be reviewing skyscraper plans, and senior video game illustrators, who likely spend time polishing designs and illustrations.

4. Industry

Illustrators are an essential part of many industries. In addition to the typical web design applications, illustrators are vital to video game production, fashion—in the fashion mock-up and haute couture realms especially—as well as in architectural engineering, television and entertainment, and even in business execution through offerings such as product mock-ups and packaging designs.

Next Steps

So you’re now ready to begin looking for an illustrator. Great illustrators can be found on Upwork. Their qualifications are listed along with their experience, giving you all the information you need to find the right fit for you.

Hello there! If you're searching for unique and eye-catching designs to boost your visual expression which retains the attention of your audience, I can help you with that! I'm a graphic designer with a Fine Arts visual education background, specializing in Graphic Design. I have 5+ experience working in a company and with separate clients as a freelancer. As I was always interested in psychology, I approach every design with a psychological background. My passion initially was in the Fine Arts area, but I fell in love with Graphic design along the way unexpectedly, in which I'm partly self-taught. Visual identity is essential to building a business because it's the customers' first impression. As we know, if the first impression is made in the first 7 seconds, they don't have the time to check any other information, so in those 7 seconds, you have a chance to stand out from the crowd. For me, Graphic design is a crucial part of building a visual culture around us, and that should be the process in which we all experiment and bring out our creative ideas. So, the appearance of the world, also our evolution depend on how authentic and open-minded we are. SERVICES: ➤Digital Art -Digital Painting -Digital Illustration -Creative Photo Editing & Manipulation -Print Design / Wall art, Posters, Clothing ➤Branding & Corporate Design -Logo Design with visual identity elements -Unique Color Palette and Typography -Company Kit / Business card, Envelope, Letterhead ➤Printed and Advertising design -Brochures, Flyers -Signage & Billboards -Book Covers -Menus ➤WORKFLOW QUALITIES - Serious approach to project deadlines, - patience in listening and understanding client's needs, - attention to detail, - creative, eye-catching effects, - minimal, organic, modern, or other trend styles. ➤TOOLS | Adobe Creative Cloud: - Adobe Illustrator - Adobe Photoshop - Adobe InDesign - Adobe Premier ➤PROJECT STEPS (can be flexible) - We discuss the general idea and what kind of design you need for your business - For Logo design, you get a questionnaire to help both you and me determine the details, including images with different logo styles to check-in - I'll make 2-3 proposals where you choose one that is closest to what you are looking for - You review my work, give me feedback, and edits are made accordingly - When you're pleased with the design, your edits are incorporated, and you get final files with tips for use in print and web The final files PRINT or WEB at the end of the project that you get are - PSD, AI, EPS, PDF, JPG & PNG (PSD, EPS & AI are Editable) So please feel free to contact me and let me know what kind of project you have in mind :)
