Graphic Hourly Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

Image360 Denver Tech Center is looking for a detail-oriented graphic designer who enjoys technical design, problem-solving, and hands-on production.

This is not a traditional creative-agency or marketing-design position. Much of the design work involves preparing customer artwork, creating accurate proofs, setting up print-ready files, and developing layouts for building signs, ADA signage, vehicle graphics, wall graphics, banners, and other large-format products.

This is also a hands-on position. Approximately 50% of the role will be spent assisting with sign and graphics production, including printing, laminating, vinyl cutting, weeding, masking, mounting, assembly, and finishing.

The right person will enjoy taking a project from a customer’s artwork or idea through design, production, and completion. You will get to see the work you prepare become real products that are installed on buildings, vehicles, walls, and throughout businesses across the Denver area.

Compensation: $23 - $27 per hour, plus bonus opportunities, with room to grow based on experience and performance.

$23 - $27 hourly

• Review customer-provided artwork and prepare accurate, production-ready files.

• Create customer proofs and layouts for building signage, ADA and wayfinding signs, vehicle graphics, window and wall graphics, banners, displays, and other large-format projects.

• Rebuild, vectorize, resize, and correct customer artwork when necessary.

• Check dimensions, spelling, colors, bleeds, resolution, cut paths, and other production specifications before files are released.

• Operate wide-format printers, vinyl plotters, laminators, and related sign-production equipment.

• Weed and mask vinyl, mount printed graphics, apply laminates, assemble signs, and complete other finishing work.

• Communicate with sales and production team members to keep projects accurate and on schedule.

• Manage several active projects while maintaining strong organization and attention to detail.

• Help maintain an organized, clean, and efficient production area.

• Strong working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

• Experience preparing files for print, large-format graphics, signage, packaging, screen printing, or another production environment is strongly preferred.

• Sign-industry experience is highly preferred but not required for a candidate with closely related print-production or prepress experience.

• Comfortable working with measurements, scale, proportions, color matching, and detailed production specifications.

• Able to distinguish between attractive artwork and artwork that will reproduce correctly.

• Comfortable spending approximately half the workday in hands-on production.

• Willing and able to learn sign materials, ADA requirements, fabrication methods, equipment, and installation considerations.

• Organized, dependable, accurate, and able to manage changing priorities.

• Able to work on-site at our Centennial production facility.

• Able to safely lift and handle sign and graphic materials as required.

This role is probably not the right fit if you are primarily looking for logo design, social-media content, illustration, web design, or a fully desk-based creative position.

It may be a great fit if you enjoy precise design work, solving production challenges, working with your hands, and seeing finished products come out of the work you prepared.
