Who you are

- Are you a senior designer with robust illustrative skills and the ability to hit the ground running on a high-profile live event?

- If you thrive under pressure, take direction well, and have a portfolio that shows genuine illustrative craft - we’d love to hear from you
- A strong portfolio demonstrating senior-level graphic design work with genuine illustrative craft – complex illustrated logos, mini-illustrations, or textured visual assets are a must. No AI-generated imagery

- Proven branding and visual identity design experience, including the ability to create original, illustrated logos and develop cohesive brand systems

- Solid print production knowledge - large-format design, file setup, colour management, and the difference between print and digital preparation

- Demonstrated ability to manage a high volume of assets across multiple formats (print, digital, streaming, social) simultaneously, with strong organisational skills and attention to detail

- Ability to work autonomously and at pace, taking direction from an Art Director and iterating quickly without needing close supervision

- Experience in events, gaming, or entertainment is a plus - but a strong portfolio and the right working style will always matter more than background

What the job involves

- This is a 6 month fixed term contract

- RuneFest is our flagship community event - a major live celebration featuring keynotes and product reveals across RuneScape, Old School RuneScape, and DragonWilds

- As Senior Graphic Designer, you’ll be creating the visual world of that event from the ground up: branding and illustrated logos, print materials, livestream graphics, trading cards, social assets,



and content that will live on beyond the event itself – some of it debuting at RuneFest before appearing in-game

- This is fast-paced, high-volume work with real visibility. You’ll be embedded in a team of experienced, self-sufficient designers, working directly with the Art Director and managing your own output with minimal hand-holding

- Create and iterate on branding and visual identity assets for RuneFest, including illustrated logos, event branding, and assets that will transition from the event into the games themselves

- Design and produce print materials across small- and large-format applications – banners, booklets, trading cards, signage, wayfinding, and environmental graphics – prepared to production-ready standard

- Develop livestream graphics, keynote panel assets, and stage content for use across RuneFest’s live programming

- Create post-event content and social media advertising visuals, managing assets across multiple concurrent use cases with strong organisation and file hygiene

- Collaborate with illustrators to integrate commissioned artwork into final designs, and handle image retouching, compositing, and asset preparation as needed

- Participate in feedback sessions and art direction reviews, iterating on deliverables efficiently without requiring heavy management
