Job Description

Job Description


I/D.W is searching for a talented Motion Designer to build stunning and sophisticated motion graphics and visual effects. This is a contract position with the potential for full-time employment, depending on the candidate.

The Role

Motion Designers at I/D.W work collaboratively with clients, internal designers, and production artists to create stand-alone animations and compelling high-quality videos. The role includes start-to-finish motion design, from storyboarding through to design, animation, and publication. The successful candidate will be a team player who enjoys working in a fast-paced creative and post-production environment with quick turn-arounds. We’re looking for a designer that lives for animation and visual effects can work out of our Oakland studio at key moments including kick-off and review. This is a contract position, focused on specific creative projects.

Qualifications

Motion design and animation spans I/D.W disciplines and projects. Ideal candidates should have a strong portfolio and be very comfortable designing and animating in both 2D and 3D. Advanced knowledge of After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop and other design tools to aid in the creation and manipulation of assets are a must. In addition, we look for a deep understanding of design and typography—and a dedication to usability and user-centric design. Applications should demonstrate an ability to manage multiple projects and advance the work through multiple revisions, while maintaining attention to detail.
