Design Assistant Jobs

A Design Assistant in the commercial art industry plays a crucial role in supporting the design team to create and implement visual components for various media such as print, digital, and social media platforms. Their responsibilities include assisting with the creation of layouts and design concepts, preparing files for print or digital publication, conducting research on current design trends, and collaborating with the design team to execute projects on time. They may also be involved with administrative tasks such as organizing files, managing design resources, and coordinating with clients or vendors.

To excel in this role, a Design Assistant should have a strong understanding of design principles and proficiency in design software such as Adobe Creative Suite. A degree in Graphic Design or a related field is often required. Important skills include attention to detail, creativity, strong communication, and the ability to work under tight deadlines.
