Develop consistent visual themes, content series and campaign identities.
Design announcement posts, product creatives, infographics, festive campaigns and corporate communication assets.
2. Art Direction & Visual Storytelling
Establish strong visual directions for social media content.
Apply typography, colour theory, composition, layout and visual hierarchy effectively.
Develop mood boards, design references and campaign concepts.
Maintain creative consistency across multiple brands while ensuring each has a distinct visual identity.
Convert complex information into simple, engaging visual narratives.
Create visually coherent, multi-slide carousel stories.
3. Copywriting & Content Ideation
Develop strong headlines, hooks and concise copy for social media creatives.
Structure carousel narratives with a clear opening, progression and conclusion.
Collaborate with content strategists and writers to refine messaging.
Understand the difference between B2B and B2C communication.
Contribute original ideas during monthly content planning and brainstorming sessions.
4. Design & Execution
Independently design and deliver professional, publication-ready creatives.
Prepare designs in multiple aspect ratios and platform specifications.
Work with editors and motion designers to translate static concepts into short-form animated content.
Maintain organised design files, templates and brand assets.
Incorporate client feedback efficiently without compromising design quality.
Manage multiple client requirements while meeting committed deadlines.
5. AI-Assisted Creative Production
Use generative AI tools to develop visual concepts, backgrounds, campaign imagery and creative assets.
Demonstrate proficiency or working familiarity with tools such as Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, ChatGPT image generation and other AI design platforms.
Combine AI-generated visuals with professional design and compositing techniques.
Ensure brand consistency, visual quality and accuracy of AI-generated assets.
