Freelance Designer

FREELANCE BLOG DESIGNER

Who we are:

Stoke is a full-service digital marketing and creative agency. We specialize in design and content marketing for clients such as Adobe Experience, Document, and Creative Cloud, Dell, VMware, J&J and several other clients in high-tech and B2B industries. Our design team has won awards from AIGA and had work published in national design annuals (Print, HOW). We’re a tight-knit team of designers, animators, writers, editorial strategists, and marketing gurus who love to help brands make customer connections through stories, data, and digital experiences. Our work primarily consists of animated video, live-action video, UI/UX design, web layout, demand social kits, e-books, infographics and more. 

Why we’re hiring:

Stoke is looking to grow our production team, and add a contracted blog designer to our fleet. You will work closely with our design team along with other creatives, strategists, and project members to execute a series of blog layouts for Adobe. Layouts will include text layout, formatting, some imagery placement or creation, and occasional marquee image creation. 

You will be responsible for creating blog layouts that align with the Adobe brand, match their guidelines regarding text usage, spacing, photography, artwork, and utilize Stoke’s process for reviews and stakeholder feedback.

Layouts are in Adobe Xd, while artwork can be made in Xd, Ai, or Ps.

Who are we looking for?

This role is catered towards those who enjoy production work and don’t mind repetition between their projects.

Important: Role will be focused primarily on blog layouts and occasional demand projects such as email layouts, social media, or display ads.

Requirements:

• Submit a resume and portfolio link or attachment to your application

• Fluent in 2D Adobe products (Ai, Ps, Id), especially Adobe Xd

• Have 2-5 years experience in digital design

• You’ve worked in a studio, production, or agency (or similar) setting

• Understand core principles behind typography, layout, and making informed design decisions

• Have an eye for good design and composition

• Must be organized, proactive and responsible with time management

• Cadence to handle quick turnaround times on assignments, and able to juggle multiple overlapping projects with our production team

• Strong verbal and written communication skills

Bonus if you have:

• Random quips of nuanced design knowledge/applications

• Self-sufficient nature, and a drive to do well

This role is fully remote—but working in US time zones is a requirement.

* You must submit a portfolio with application to be considered for this job
