We’re looking to add an infographic designer to our team here at Datalabs.

About the Infographic Designer role:

Our Infographic Designers are the agency’s creative visualisers and graphic designers, working on the creation of infographics and data visualisation projects. Our agency creates data-driven visual content and reports for consumers (B2C) and to internal audiences and other businesses (B2B). These positions work on more than one design brief at a time.

A typical day’s activity for an Infographic Designer:

• Taking an infographic story document and mocking up sketches or wireframes for the infographic’s layout & visuals.
• Bringing those sketches or wireframes to life, using Adobe Illustrator and your own artistic skills to produce a finished infographic.
• Visualising data in innovative ways, teasing out the narrative that effectively tells the story and using Illustrator, PowerPoint and other software to communicate that story.
• Designing your own artistic and content creation workflow; looking for plug-ins, scripts, and software add-ons that can simplify and enhance the graphic design process.
• Brainstorming new ideas and concepts for clients.
• Presenting the creative designs to clients.
