Post Content: We’re looking for talented designers who want to learn more about a life crafting beautiful digital design. Whether you’re a photo-comping wizard, grid-adhering fanatic, or kerning-obsessed typographer, Critical Mass can introduce you to a career in design.
You’ll work with our entire creative team to help shape the look and feel of creative assets we’re working on. Our broad roster of clients ranges from international banks to major airlines to cosmopolitan cities on the ocean – so you’ll be exposed to a variety of different design approaches.
We’re firm believers in cross-discipline thinking. So you’ll also get the chance to see how copywriters, strategists, art directors, technologists and project managers go about their business – and what that means to you as designer.
