Position: Illustrator

Employment Type: Freelance

Description: DemiGraphics is currently reviewing resumes of Freelance Illustrators for our overflow of illustration projects. These projects include but are not limited to logo design, character/caricature design, product mockup illustrations, film storyboards, product mockup design, color separated artwork as needed by our Screen Printing Department, and all other illustration projects. Illustrators who meet our requirements will then be added to our overflow list, and will be notified via e-mail each time a project is open for bidding. Project notification e-mails will include project description as well as Client's proposed budget for the particular project. Illustrators will then bid for the project, and the Illustrator with the most competitively priced bid will for the most part receive the contract. Not all contracts will be given to the lowest bidder, but rather to the Illustrator whom DemiGraphics believes is most capable of exceeding our Client's expectations. Illustrators shall be rated based on the following 3 factors: quality of work, turnaround time, and price. Illustrators that shall receive the most contracts will be those who display the greatest balance of these 3 factors.

Requirements:
  • Applicants must provide DemiGraphics with recent samples of artwork, as well as how long each artwork took to be completed.
  • Applicants are required to display adequate knowledge of scanning artwork as well as digital coloring using Photoshop, Paintshop Pro or any other comparable photo-editing software.

  • Applicants must display illustration skills comparable to the work designed by DemiGraphics (see our Portfolio), and at most exceed that of DemiGraphics itself.
  • Applicants must display the ability to perform illustration tasks in a relatively short amount of time, for quick turnaround time is an important factor.
  • Credentials and/or a college degree are not a requirement. Proven experience, commercial or otherwise, is required. All levels of experience are welcomed to apply.
  • Applicants do not need to be located in or around the Los Angeles area; however, Applicants must be capable of maintaining an open line of communication with DemiGraphics both by phone and by e-mail. Ease of communication is a must!
  • Applicants must be capable of meeting deadlines.

Salary: Non-salary, pay-per-contract position. Compensation per contract shall be based on a high/low estimate provided by the Illustrator to DemiGraphics, and shall be finalized upon approval of final estimate between DemiGraphics and the Client. Compensation is non-negotiable after final estimate is approved by both DemiGraphics and the Client. DemiGraphics shall act as a liaison between Illustrator and Client for the duration of the contract, and the Illustrator is neither responsible nor obligated to contact or be contacted by the Client unless approved otherwise by DemiGraphics. Compensation shall be sent to the Illustrator upon closing of contract in the form of a business check to the mailing address provided by the Designer to DemiGraphics, unless notified otherwise.
