Pre-Media Artist

Kaleidoscope
Chicago, IL

The Pre-Media Artist is a technical role focused on preparing client-supplied artwork for accurate and efficient film and digital output.

  • Preflight and evaluate client files to ensure the artwork meets job requirements. Identify any file issues and provide recommendations for revisions facilitating the successful completion of projects.
  • Modify and adjust client files as necessary, utilizing intermediate to advanced skills in Illustrator and Photoshop for art creation, color correction, and ink trapping.
  • Distort artwork for shrink label applications.
  • Warp artwork for tapered container labeling.
  • Perform color correction, image placement, and digital file adjustments to ensure high-quality output.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to meet project deadlines and production goals.
  • Work overtime as needed to ensure project timelines are met.

Qualifications

  • Proficient in Photoshop and Illustrator, with a focus on packaging-related image creation, color correction, ink trapping, and spot colors.
  • Highly detail-oriented with strong organizational skills.
  • Customer-focused, committed to delivering the highest quality output.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with team members and clients.
  • Ability to work under pressure and manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.

Education and Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or related certifications with work experience equivalent.
  • 2+ years of prepress/premedia experience.

Salary Range: $25 - $35 Hourly USD
