Visual Designers play an important role on our User Experience (UX) team, creating the visual expression of Yodle’s brand to world. They design all our digital and print marketing properties such as websites (including mobile), ad campaigns (online and print), event marketing materials, collateral, etc. Visual Designers collaborate openly with other members of the UX discipline, including Copywriters, Interaction Designers, and Front-End Developers, as well as members of our Marketing team. Great candidates for this role are enthusiastic about helping to further define the Yodle brand and creating a visual design system for our entire range of properties. How do we use typography to communicate hierarchy of information? How do we use color to depict our brand and draw users’ attention to certain elements? How do common elements across all Yodle websites and applications help shape our users’ experience with Yodle? Strong Visual Designers think not only about the way things look, but also how they work. In the case of designing a web application, they understand modern front-end web technologies like HTML 5 and CSS3 and how these tools can be used to improve the UX. In the case of designing a mobile experience, they think about the physical device at hand and how everything from aspect ratio to gesture-based inputs can affect the quality of the design solution. There are a million things to think about, and Visual Designers love to explore them.
