Junior Digital Designer

Are you passionate about creativity?

Can you see the vision of a design before it’s down on paper or on the screen?

We’re on the hunt for a junior digital designer with bags of potential and bursting with creativity.

Why the job exists?

We’re in a great place at the moment winning some great new clients and expanding our relationships with our existing ones. To keep up with this growth we are looking for someone who has been there and done it and can bring a wealth of experience with them.

We need a talented designer to work alongside our creative director in the studio. You’ll need to be able to convert the ideas in the studio through to design work for clients, both print and digital.

What will you be doing?

Like most agencies the variety of projects is what we love. So you’ll be doing anything from researching competitor brands and creating presentations for our Ignition workshops to designing a website from wireframes produced by our UX specialists.

What experience do you need?

We don’t expect you to be a genius when it comes to Photoshop or XD but we will expect you’ve had some usage be it commercially or in the industry. It’d be great if you have an eduction in design but it’s not the be all and end all if you don’t – what we need is creativity.

Can you think laterally when a brief lands on your desk?  Are you able to see what fits in a particular marketplace?

Or more importantly can you push the envelope? We work across both print and digital so you need to be able to demonstrate an understand of everything from how to structure a website through to laying out a responsive email design.

Who are we?

At Bopgun we use creative ideas to solve commercial problems. We cut our teeth designing print materials, magazines and websites driving customers to our clients businesses. Since then we have won awards for the campaigns that we have done. Our key skills are:

• Designing and building beautiful and commercially valuable websites
• Video production and motion graphics to excite, to inform and to promote
• Email for subscription retention, renewal and sales
• Clever and inspiring adverts for print, TV and online
• Brand logo designs that tell a story

What’s our aspirations?

As mentioned above, we’re growing – having recently appointed a director of marketing and with our non-exec director onboard we have some great plans for the future. We’re working hard on the backbone of the business while constantly working with an enviable group of clients.

As the directors we don’t want to be so big that we’re not involved anymore but we’re also building a robust business with careers for everyone involved.

Where are we?

So why’s that important? Well some people want to be in the city and some people love the country – we have the best of both. The studio is situated on a beautiful farm with over 40 acres of land to enjoy. A lovely lake where you can sit and chill beside and never a problem with parking.

But also we’re a 10 minute hop to the centre of Bath so you can easily pop in of a lunchtime or alternatively down the road to the local out-of-town complex.
