What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Environmental Graphics Designer, and why are they important?

To excel as an Environmental Graphics Designer, you need expertise in graphic design principles, spatial awareness, and a relevant degree in design or architecture. Proficiency with design software like Adobe Creative Suite, CAD tools, and familiarity with signage systems and materials is crucial. Creativity, strong communication, and attention to detail help in translating brand identities into engaging physical spaces. These skills ensure visually impactful, functional environments that enhance user experience and client satisfaction.

What are environmental graphics?

Environmental graphics, also known as environmental graphic design (EGD), involve creating visual elements that enhance the experience of built environments. This field combines graphic design, architecture, art, and interior design to communicate information, guide people, and create a sense of place within spaces such as offices, museums, airports, and public areas. Examples of environmental graphics include wayfinding signage, wall murals, branded environments, and exhibit graphics. The goal is to make spaces more engaging, accessible, and visually cohesive.

Industry UsageInterior design, branding, wayfindingSignage production, branding, wayfinding

Environmental Graphics focus on creating visual elements that enhance spaces and communicate messages within physical environments, often involving large-scale installations. Sign Designer specializes in designing individual signs and wayfinding systems. While both roles require graphic design skills and often overlap in projects, Environmental Graphics emphasizes spatial storytelling, whereas Sign Designers concentrate on sign aesthetics and functionality.

How does an Environmental Graphics professional typically collaborate with architects and interior designers on projects?

Environmental Graphics professionals often work closely with architects and interior designers from the early stages of a project to ensure that signage, wayfinding, and visual elements are seamlessly integrated into the built environment. This collaboration involves regular meetings to discuss design concepts, coordinate materials and finishes, and align visual messaging with the overall architectural intent. By working as part of a multidisciplinary team, Environmental Graphics specialists help create cohesive, functional, and aesthetically pleasing spaces that enhance user experience.

Job description

Graphic Designer
Job no: 493324
Work type: Exempt Staff
Location: Gambier, OH
Categories:
Kenyon College is conducting a search for a graphic designer to join the award-winning creative team in the Office of Communications. Do you have a passion for building brands - for making an institution come alive visually through smart, high-quality, creative work? The graphic designer at Kenyon does just that, producing visual content for all channels, digital and printed.
Work That Matters
A skilled visual storyteller, the graphic designer makes a wide variety of digital and printed materials for Kenyon's varied and sophisticated audiences. This creative work builds our brand, but, more than that, it builds Kenyon - helping recruit and enroll the next generation of students, and keeping alumni connected to the College.
The graphic designer's portfolio includes digital graphics for social media, email campaigns, videos and the Kenyon website; printed publications such as brochures, posters and invitations; branded promotional merchandise; and signage, environmental graphics and displays for events. Taken together, the creative projects in the graphic designer's portfolio make Kenyon, its people, and its academic programs come alive online and in print, building and enhancing Kenyon's reputation with both new and familiar audiences.
The graphic designer reports to, and works closely with, the director of design and publication, who steers the overall design direction of Kenyon's visual brand. Part of a larger team of writers, strategists and visual media producers, the graphic designer will also have the opportunity to work with student interns who create visual content for Kenyon.
Essential Functions
As all graphic designers bring different skill sets, the work portfolio will reflect the designer's professional interests and strengths, and it will change over time to reflect the ever-evolving communications landscape. The position provides room for creative growth.
The graphic designer will:
  • Design digital graphics for social media posts, videos and email campaigns.
  • Design publications, information and environmental graphics, and promotional merchandise.
  • Enhance and extend Kenyon's visual identity system for new projects and initiatives.
  • Steer creative projects through design, proofing and production stages, including working with printing and promotional products vendors.
  • Develop design templates for a Canva team that provides brand resources to Kenyon staff members.

Working Conditions
The Office of Communications is a hybrid working environment. Team members have the option to split time between an on-campus office and remote work, working on campus at least two days per week.
Required Qualifications
  • A bachelor's degree in design, art, communications, marketing or a related field.
  • At least three years of professional design experience.
  • Superior typographic skills.
  • Advanced knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud, especially InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
  • Familiarity with creating motion graphics, with experience in Adobe After Effects.
  • Knowledge of other design environments, such as Figma and Canva, and designing for and within CRM platforms, such as Slate.
  • Strong organizational and project management skills, with an ability to multitask, set production schedules and meet deadlines.
  • An ability to follow a style guide and stay on brand.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Illustration and/or photography skills.
  • Experience with a website CMS.

To Apply
Along with your cover letter and resume, please link to or submit a portfolio of four or five design projects showing the depth and range of your creative work.
