Are you a passionate visual storyteller with a love for design? Do you want to help craft educational design videos that are every bit as high-end as the productions National Geographic create on history, science and culture? Â
Do you want to showcase your skills in every frame while conveying powerful ideas to thousands of minds daily? Thatâs a big audience, which is why weâre looking for serious talent.Â
We're the global leader in online design education. Thatâs because the worldâs leading experts create our educational content and because weâre specialized inâand utterly dedicated toâdesign, and only design. Weâre entering our third decade with over 175,000 graduates. We now need an amazing Motion Graphics Designer, Video Editor and Visual Storyteller to help each individual along their learning journey.Â
Visual storytelling is a huge part of our winning formula: to reach our members on that magic level where theyâre captivated to complete their course while feeling utterly inspired every step of the way. Â
You will, therefore, become an essential part of our video production team, someone who is making a direct impact on not only the growth and reputation of our organization but also the whole world of design education and beyond!Â
So, what do our videos look like? Hereâs an example of a video we created. We went to the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and recorded a series of b-roll. Then we edited and added animations to explain how AI-generated art has evolved into a dynamic force in the creative landscape. As you can see, educational videos are no longer âtalking heads with slidesâ. Â
This next video shows you what our educational videos featuring experts look and feel like. It shows how much emphasis and effort we put into animations, footage and on-screen text to give the ultimate learning experience. Â
Check out this third video, which is a promotional video we created to motivate more people to learn design. Â
So, if after seeing these videos you think, âI could do better than that!â, then weâd love to hear from you!Â
What youâll be doingÂ
Youâll be working closely with our UX/UI design experts, founders, video editors, course producers and other team members to make the most inspiring and engaging videos for our ever-growing catalog of courses. Â
Videos are the best way to educate, and we have the best instructors: people who live and breathe UX/UI design and many associated subjects. Youâll feel energized as you take your skillset to an even higher level among an ambitious and supportive team. Â
