• Basic understanding of usability/HCI principles and techniques, especially as related to GUI design for desktop, web and wireless applications.
• Outstanding visual design skills including the ability to establish new innovative look and feels for our clients that are brand conforming and in line with project strategy, the ability to support our UX team with visual solutions to challenging screens, the ability to take wireframes and apply an already established design language, and the ability to build extremely detailed online styleguides that communicate our new designs.
• Ideal candidate will have broad and/or deep knowledge of the capabilities and constraints when designing for these technologies and media: C++, Java, Web technologies (HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, Flash etc.), mobile technologies (WAP, xHTML, Brew, Symbian, etc.). Please note: This is not a development/coding position.
• Bachelors or Masters degree in graphic design or related area.
Specific Skills and Experience Required:
• Expert in the standard visual design packages, such as the Adobe Suite
