GRAPHIC ARTIST III in Bryan, Texas at C C Creations

Graphic Artist III

Create & collaborate in this full-time, in-house position – taking art from initial concept all the way through to production.

Opportunity Snapshot 

Love the satisfaction of building a great design? Obsess over the details? Know when a layout is almost right but that kerning is still driving you crazy? We’re looking for an experienced Graphic Artist with serious creative chops and a desire to keep getting better.

At C.C. Creations, we are passionate about our people and our work. Since opening in 1982, we’ve become the top Screen-Printing, Embroidery, & Promotional Products company in Texas and one of the largest in the nation. We help customers promote their brands in style and rely on creatives like you to make that happen.  

This isn’t an entry-level design position. Strong illustration and typography skills are a must. We need someone who can take an idea and turn it into original, well-crafted, functional artwork, not just someone who knows their way around Adobe. 

Just as important – we’re looking for someone who communicates, collaborates, and understands that great creative work usually gets better through the process.

What You’ll Do

As a Graphic Artist III with our Art Team, you will: 

• Create original artwork for apparel, merchandise, and custom client projects
• Develop illustrated graphics and killer typographic layouts
• Turn creative briefs, customer ideas, and sometimes-not-so-perfect directions into great artwork
• Work within customer brand and production requirements without losing creativity
• Collaborate with artists, sales, preflight, and production teams
• Take creative direction, ask good questions, and use feedback to make the work stronger
• Prepare clean, production-conscious artwork in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
• Balance creativity, quality, and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• Take an idea from concept all the way through production

What You Should Have

Experience in apparel graphics, branding, marketing, screen printing, merchandise design, or production art will definitely get our attention. Additionally, you may be what we’re looking for, if you have: 

• Strong illustration skills — required
• Strong typography and layout skills — required
• Advanced Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop skills
• Professional graphic design experience with a portfolio to prove it
• A sharp eye for composition, hierarchy, color, and the little details
• The eye and communication capability to translate trends.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• A willingness to ask questions for clarity
• The flexibility to change direction when a project needs it
• Ownership of your work from start to finish
• A willingness to jump into production work when capacity requires
• A genuine desire to learn and keep improving
• The ability to lead other artists and creative direction at times. 

Show Us What You’ve Got

A resume tells us where you’ve worked. Your portfolio shows us whether you can design. We especially want to see:

• Original illustration
• Typography that does more than fill space
• Strong composition and visual hierarchy
• Apparel and merchandise graphics
• Branding or marketing work

• Different styles that are not the same design approached six different ways
• Work that shows us you understand both creativity and purpose

Why This Role Is Worth It 

We believe in taking care of our team. Benefits Include: 

• Compensation: $25-$30 p/h 
• Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM
• Paid Time Off (PTO): accruing from day one—you can use it as you earn it
• Eight paid holidays, including a "Me Day" to celebrate your birthday however you choose
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and eligible family members
