Web Graphic Designer

Blizzard Entertainment has an immediate opening for a web graphic designer. The ideal candidate is a graphic artist who can leverage the Blizzard Entertainment art style to create stunning website layouts, graphics, and user interfaces. This person must have a deep understanding of the opportunities and limitations of the web medium as well as information flow, readability, and interface usability principles to inform graphic designs that not only are visually beautiful but also translate into highly functional, legible, and easy-to-use web pages.

Requirements

• Strong graphic design skills, artistic sense, and fluency in Photoshop
• Ability to work within and build upon the Blizzard Entertainment art style
• Understanding of information flow, readability, and interface usability design principles
• A passion for user interface and web page graphic design
• A passion for games

• Proficiency in creating animations and vector graphics with Adobe Flash
• Experience creating pixel art for low-resolution displays
• Knowledge of video editing with Adobe Premiere (or equivalent package)

No follow-up calls or e-mails, please. This is a full-time position in Irvine, CA, and we do not have any internships or part-time positions available at this time.

Please send a cover letter, resume, and portfolio to: resumes@blizzard.com.

Your portfolio should contain URLs of sites that show your design sense and creativity. Also, as part of the portfolio, please consider creating a Blizzard-related sample layout and implementation (so we can review the coding). The work you submit should demonstrate how you would create a Blizzard-themed page. Examples of appropriate submissions would be a Blizzard product page (such as http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/) or a page based on some aspect of a Blizzard game (such as http://www.battle.net/war3/nightelf).
