Artist Jobs in Illinois

An Artist in the commercial art industry creates visual content for advertising campaigns, promotional materials, and product packaging. They are typically responsible for designing and creating visual elements such as logos, illustrations, layouts, and photos that help to sell a product or service. Their work often involves collaboration with marketers, copywriters, and art directors to ensure the visual elements align with the marketing objectives and brand identity.

Important skills for an Artist in the commercial art industry include creativity, and strong visual design and communication skills. They should also have proficiency in design software like Adobe Creative Suite. A degree in graphic design or a related field can be beneficial, and some positions may require professional certifications like Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) or Certified Graphic Designer from the Graphic Designers of Canada (GDC). Prior to becoming an artist in this industry, individuals often gain experience in roles such as Graphic Design Intern, Junior Graphic Designer, or Visual Communication Specialist.
