In this career, you manage a team to promote your client’s brand. You need strong graphic design knowledge and should have experience in executing projects such as websites, product packaging, and brochures. Your job duties include designing illustrations and infographics, reviewing junior coworkers work, refining images or fonts, and generating ideas for advertising concepts while maintaining a company’s brand consistency. As a senior designer, you need strong aesthetics skills and several years of experience as a designer.
