We are EMC Design, a leading UK design agency for the publishing industry, and we’re looking for an experienced Graphic Designer to join our exceptional team. We transform content into beautiful and engaging materials that educate and inspire learners around the globe. World-renowned publishers return to us because we have a team of exceptional people who deliver stunning design, technically accurate files, on-budget and to deadline.
We are specifically looking for Designers who are self-motivated, enthusiastic, are well organised. And can work methodically, consistently, and quickly on long formatted editorial documents.

formatting text into accurate styles using GREP to facilitate this,
carrying out corrections to proofs according to editorial mark-up using standard proof correction marks,
layout of pages integrating photos and illustration with the text to create visually striking and balanced pages,
producing complex ‘realia’ (examples of written English) independently,
producing original solutions to educational books, covers and digital material which can be used as templates for production,
using Adobe Creative Suite to its full potential.
If you have:
proven design experience within editorial design and an advanced knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite,
a love of working within InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator at a geekily technical level,
a demonstrable passion for typography and editorial design (through your portfolio of work),
a meticulous attitude when it comes to attention for detail,
strong organisational and communication skills,
the ability to confidently analyse and follow a brief,
and a can-do attitude with a willingness to get the job done…

A supportive and collaborative working environment here at our studio in Oakley, Bedfordshire,
A salary commensurate with your relative experience (£24-£28.5K+ benefits) with a view to progressing you through their salary structure as you learn and grow,
