Role: 2D Illustrator (Events & Experiential)
Can you take a creative brief like "cyberpunk eco-gala" and immediately translate it into striking hero artwork, vibrant color palettes, and custom vector patterns? Do you get a high from seeing your digital art printed on massive 30-foot stage backdrops, interactive photo booths, and event merchandise? If you’re a versatile, fast-working 2D Illustrator who loves bringing physical spaces and live experiences to life through visual storytelling, we want you on our creative team.
Role Overview
As our 2D Event Illustrator , you will be the artistic backbone of our event concepts. You’ll transform abstract themes into visual narratives—from initial pitch sketches and key visuals to print-ready assets for mega-events, music festivals, trade shows, and brand activations. You’ll work alongside spatial designers, art directors, and event producers to ensure every physical touchpoint tells a cohesive, beautiful story.
Key Responsibilities
Hero Artwork & Key Visuals: Craft core event illustrations, hero artwork, and visual motifs that set the aesthetic theme for client pitches and live events.
Environmental & Collateral Graphics: Design custom illustrations for large-format prints, stage backdrops, entrance arches, LED screen loops, wayfinding maps, badges, and guest swag.
Rapid Concept Sketching: Generate quick digital storyboards, character/mascot concepts, and mood illustrations during brainstorming sessions and client proposals.
Print & Production Readiness: Prepare vector and raster files for production—ensuring proper color profiles (CMYK/RGB), bleed lines, aspect ratios, and high-resolution scaling for giant surfaces.
Brand Adaptability: Effortlessly adapt your artistic style to match diverse client brand guidelines—ranging from sleek and corporate to bold, painterly, or illustrative.
(Bonus) Live Event Scribing: (If skilled) Participate in live digital sketching or visual note-taking during conference sessions and guest interactive activations.
The Ideal Candidate Attribute What we're looking for
Artistic Versatility
Fluent across multiple illustration styles (vector flat-art, isometric layouts, detailed digital painting, and custom typography).
Tool Mastery
Master of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Procreate; deep understanding of vector vs. raster workflows.
Large-Format Intuition
Knows how graphics translate from a laptop screen to massive physical structures without losing fidelity or legibility.
Speed & Agility
Thrives under fast event production timelines, delivering quality art even when project parameters change overnight.
Massive Visibility: See your digital creations transformed into physical, tangible spaces experienced by thousands of attendees.
Portfolio Diversity: Work across a wide spectrum of visual universes—from tech summits and luxury galas to esports arenas and pop-up activations.
Collaborative Environment: Partner directly with 3D designers, motion artists, and producers who respect and elevate your creative vision.
No Design Monotony: Every project is a brand-new client, a new aesthetic, and a fresh artistic challenge.
Note to Applicants: Event graphics aren't just about making pretty artwork—they're about spatial storytelling under dynamic, fast-moving deadlines. If you love seeing your art come alive in physical spaces and thrive on creative momentum, you’ll fit right in.
