Graphic designer: visual troublemaker

One day you’re building a brand from scratch. The next you’re laying out a magazine, designing a campaign, making social content move or trying to convince everyone that yes, that font really does make a difference.

We’re looking for a graphic designer with a sharp eye, good taste and enough ideas to make blank artboards slightly nervous.

Someone who can turn a rough sketch into something beautiful, a strategy into a visual world and “can you make the logo a little bigger?” into something we can all live with.

And yes, every once in a while you might still end up designing your future boss’s Christmas card. Stay humble.

Things you can bring to the table:

• You have a degree in design and some relevant work experience. Or you’re a wildly talented recent graduate who is sick of every junior vacancy asking for three years of experience. Show us what you’ve got.
• Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator feel like home. After Effects? Bonus points. Lots of them.
• You don't just make things pretty. You understand brands, ideas and why a design needs to work.
• You enjoy a good creative brainstorm and aren’t afraid to throw your own ideas into the room.
• You can jump from branding to campaigns, print, digital and social without suffering an identity crisis.
• You have an eye for detail. Yes, you noticed that one pixel too.
• You can handle feedback without dramatically deleting your Adobe account.
• Hard deadlines don’t scare you. Bad kerning does.
• You’re positive and generally fun to have around. At least after your first coffee.

Things we can bring to the table:

• A fulltime, indefinite-term contract.
• A salary according to your experience and talent.
• A wonderfully unhealthy variety of projects, brands and clients.
• Work that actually gets made, printed, posted, launched, watched and occasionally put on very large billboards.
• A laptop and smartphone.
• Creative colleagues who care perhaps a little too much about ideas, words, colours and whether something is really finished.
• A personal email signature in the SirFish colours of your choice. Career goals.
• An inspiring office space right in the centre of Hasselt.
• Real coffee, a stocked fridge and your own place at the table on vettige vrijdag.

Still here? Good.

Don’t just tell us you’re creative. That would be a disappointing start.
