Animation Designers are responsible for creating the custom illustrated assets and graphics required for video projects, from charts, graphs and diagrams to fully-animated, character-driven scenes. Animation Designers will create storyboards, design illustrated compositions, rig them for animation, and deliver those files to motion graphic designers. As part of the Design Department, they work with the Art Director to prioritize assignments, and with key project stakeholders to understand each assignment and gather reference material to ensure that their work is accurate and matches the style and tone of each project. Animation Designers will also work with motion graphic designers, delivering project files, consulting on the animation of their compositions, and making adjustments to projects as needed, so strong organizational skills and clear visual and verbal communication are vital for this position.
