Tips for Writing a Illustrator Job Description

Illustrators convert written and spoken ideas into a visual format to help convey information to the end users, consumers, and prospective buyers. Common examples of illustrations include infographics, whitepaper visuals, and expanded/exploded isometric views of a 3D rendering, which is usually made by another creative, such as a 3D animator.

An illustrator’s role is to use colors, text, images, and symbols to design graphics and make information easier for audiences to understand. Engineering illustrators, for example, may be involved in blueprint reviews to ensure all manufacturing and construction callouts are correctly placed and spaced and represent the correct items. Even seemingly minor errors, such as an extraneous counterbore in a steel girder, can cost hours of time and may even result in damaging the integrity of a structure.

An illustrator should be proficient with visual programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator and familiar with layouts and graphic fundamentals. Standard fields that illustrators excel in are advertising, digital design, and branding.

The section below will cover a sample job description, exploring the daily responsibilities and necessary qualifications for an illustrator.

4 Steps to Creating an Illustrator Job Description That Fits Your Needs

There are many professional illustrators out there, so you must understand what you need before hiring. Below are some factors to consider to help you choose the right fit for your company:

1. Type of Illustrators

Illustrators have many types of specializations: print, fine arts, video, multimedia, engineering, branding. Illustrators may also come from a variety of backgrounds. Some may specialize in illustrating editorial such as books and articles; others may excel in illustrating materials for educational videos and other content for children.

For example, an illustrator who studied engineering and machining before switching to illustration—after discovering a love for visual media through their engineering design fundamentals course—might provide excellent support in reviewing engineering blueprints, while a cartoon animator probably would not.

2. The Position

Illustrators can be hired in-house, contracted through an agency, or hired as freelancers.

In-house illustrators can be great for all projects, but building out the right team requires a hefty investment. Hiring a full-time graphic designer through an agency is excellent for short-term projects, as they can provide reliable results, but they are likely to cost more in the long term as a result of higher hourly rates and the agency’s margin on the labor tab.

Freelance illustrators provide a balance, as they do not require time investments and can produce good results on both short- and long-term projects.

3. Experience

Experience is a valuable resource for assessing potential hires. A junior illustrator may be more suited for projects such as children’s books or advertising materials that require a broad skill set, as they have a great deal of potential but lack experience.

A senior illustrator is great for a project that demands a specific skill set. Some common examples here include senior engineering illustrators, who may be reviewing skyscraper plans, and senior video game illustrators, who likely spend time polishing designs and illustrations.

4. Industry

Illustrators are an essential part of many industries. In addition to the typical web design applications, illustrators are vital to video game production, fashion—in the fashion mock-up and haute couture realms especially—as well as in architectural engineering, television and entertainment, and even in business execution through offerings such as product mock-ups and packaging designs.

Recently relocated to Berlin from Melbourne and Sydney, Australia but originally from Vancouver, Canada. I graduated from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2002 with a BFA and have been working as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer for the last decade. I have worked both as a freelancer and in a studio setting creating illustrations for advertising, books, products and projects (including assets for NFT projects). I also work as a graphic designer creating marketing materials for both print and digital. In my personal time, I have spent the last five years on the series ‘A Delicate Balance,’ and have had pieces exhibited in both the USA and Canada. This is a series of surreal architectural ink drawing of palaces and castles, which are intertwined with elements of the natural world (both flora and fauna). These castles show both the beauty of ornate ancient architectural elements through detailed illustration, of a bygone time and the beauty and splendor of nature. They highlight the importance of the coexistence within nature and hearkening back to a time when we, as a species were not terraforming the planet for greedy ends. I have 15 years of experience and am an expert using Photoshop and to a less degree using Illustrator and InDesign. In the last year I have switched to Procreate and Affinity. I also have a beginning to intermediate understanding of Wordpress, Flash, and Sketchup. I am prompt, reliable as well as a highly skilled illustrator, both with traditional media and as a digital painter. My services are flexible and my timetable is open to meet your company and projects needs.
