Prepress Graphic Designer
Location: FASTSIGNS of Gurnee - Waukegan, IL
Type: Full-Time
About Us:
FASTSIGNS of Gurnee is a leader in custom signage and visual communication solutions, providing high-quality designs and printed products to businesses of all sizes. We are looking for a Prepress Graphic Designer to join our growing team. This role blends creative design with technical production and prepress skills to ensure artwork is accurate, clean, and ready for print - particularly in a large-format environment.
What You'll Do:
Prepress & Graphic Design:
  • Prepare customer files and original artwork for print production, ensuring they meet all prepress requirements: correct bleeds, color modes, resolution, crop marks, and output settings.
  • Set up and manage files for output through ONYX RIP software, ensuring accurate color management and production specs.
  • Modify and finalize customer-supplied files to meet technical specifications for digital and large-format printing.
  • Create full-color designs for signage, banners, decals, and other visual communications.
  • Proof and review designs for accuracy, consistency, and production readiness.
  • Maintain an organized library of customer assets and artwork for future use.
  • Conduct quality control checks to ensure all output meets company standards and client expectations.

Team Collaboration:
  • Work closely with sales, production, and installation teams to ensure a seamless workflow from concept to final delivery.
  • Consult with clients as needed to ensure their design goals are achieved and their files are suitable for production.
  • Recommend design or material adjustments when necessary for improved output quality or efficiency.

Skills & Qualifications:
  • 1-2 years of experience in graphic design, prepress, or signage production.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop is required
  • Strong understanding of prepress and print file setup - especially for large-format or wide-format printing.
  • Experience using ONYX RIP software (or willingness to learn quickly).
  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to handle multiple projects in a fast-paced production environment.
  • Familiarity with sign shop equipment and materials is highly desirable.

What We Offer:
  • Competitive pay plus performance-based bonus
  • Paid holidays, paid time off, health & dental insurance, and 401k matching
  • Training and development in both design and production tools
  • A collaborative, growth-focused work environment
  • The opportunity to work on projects that have real impact for local businesses

If you're detail-oriented, technically proficient, and love the intersection of design and production, we'd love to hear from you!
