Visual Artist

About the Role
CoverYou is looking for a Visual Artist with a strong foundation in illustration, visual storytelling and image-making.
This is not a conventional graphic-design role focused primarily on social-media layouts, adaptations or resizing creatives.
We are looking for someone who can take an idea, piece of copy or rough creative direction and translate it into an original visual - from research and moodboarding to sketching, illustration and final execution.
Responsibilities
Develop original visual concepts from briefs, stories and creative copy.
Create illustrations, sketches, compositions and campaign artwork.
Build moodboards and explore multiple visual directions.
Translate abstract ideas into clear visual metaphors.
Create artwork for campaigns, social media, websites, packaging and brand communication.
Experiment with illustration, editorial art, collage, typography, photography and mixed media.
Work with content, design, brand and video teams.
Take projects through research → moodboard → sketch → visual exploration → final artwork.
Contribute to the development of CoverYou's overall visual language.
Use generative AI for exploration and production while maintaining originality and artistic control.
