Artist Jobs in Virginia

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.
