Job Description
Benefits:
I’ve been in the large-format game for a long time, and I can tell you this: the best designers are the ones who actually know how their work is built. At FASTSIGNS, we don't just "make files"—we make things.
I’m looking for a Junior Designer who wants to learn the industry from the ground up. This role is a hybrid; you’ll be spending your time between the workstation and the production table, making sure our clients walk out the door with exactly what they envisioned.
The 45/45/10 Breakdown
You’ll be working directly with me. I’ll show you the ropes of color management, substrate selection, and the engineering of big signs. You won’t just be a "pixel pusher"—you’ll be a creator.
Ready to get your hands dirty and your designs out in the world? Send over your portfolio and let’s see what you’ve got.

The 45/45/10 Breakdown
-
45% Design (The Vision): Using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to prep client files, scale layouts for wide-format printing, and create high-impact visuals that work in the real world.
-
45% Production (The Build): This is where the sweat happens. You’ll be weeding vinyl, laminating prints, and mounting graphics. Precision is everything here. You must be able to use a table ruler and an X-Acto knife to make flawless, straight cuts. If you're off by a hair, we start over.
-
10% The "Whatever It Takes" (The Goal): This is the secret sauce for customer satisfaction. Whether it’s jumping on a phone call to clarify a color, helping a teammate load a heavy roll of media, or doing a final quality check to ensure a sign is spotless—you do what’s needed to get the job done right.
-
Adobe Native: You live in Illustrator (vectors are your best friend) and know your way around Photoshop layers and masks.
-
Tactile & Precise: You enjoy working with your hands. You have the patience to trim a 10-foot banner and the "eye" to spot a bubble in a laminate from across the room.
-
Detail-Obsessed: You’re the person who proofreads the menu three times before hitting "Print." Small errors are expensive in large format, so your focus needs to be sharp.
-
Team Player: We’re a fast-paced franchise shop. When the workflow shifts, you shift with it without missing a beat.
