UI Artist - Rainbow Six Mobile

Job Description

Job Description

As a UI Artist at Ubisoft Winnipeg, you’ll build the visuals that smoothly guide players as they navigate a game, breaking down any barriers that stand between them. With a player-focused mindset, you make use of space and choose the best design elements like colour, typography, and animation to communicate clear, consistent, key content at the right place at the right time. Thanks to your work, gameplay experiences can remain immersive – and not abruptly interrupted by questions like, “What am I supposed to be doing again?”

Responsibilities

•Partner with the brand and art director to grasp the game’s visual identity, art direction, and brand guidelines

•Follow design documentation to translate high-level gameplay ideas into functional UI designs

•Work (very) closely with UX designers to visually communicate the path they’ve laid out

•Create interface assets (menus, animation, HUD, icons, buttons, world maps, etc.) + build wireframes and mockups

•Find balance between artistic aspects and technical constraints

•Integrate your assets using our proprietary tools and engines, with the help of programmers

•Develop and refine your work based on feedback from collaborative teams (debug and optimize)

•Document and share your UI design workflow and best practices

•Collaborate on projects of your own initiative through our Innovation Jams

Qualifications

You’re passionate about melding style and design to create amazing user experiences. You’ve got an eye for clean and artful design, and can translate high-level requirements into interaction flows and artifacts. You’re highly creative and collaborative, motivated to reach out for feedback and adapt to it to keep growing in your craft. Besides the above, we’re looking for someone who is aligned with our studio’s core values and has the following skills and experience:

•At least 3 years of experience in visual design or related experience

•Up-to-date with the latest UI trends, techniques, and technologies

•Knowledge of design tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects), game engines (e.g. Unity or Unreal), game limitations, and prototyping tools

•Understanding of usability principals & information architecture

•Demonstrates independence, efficiency, and commitment to projects/tasks

The following would be a bonus:

•Knowledge of 3D software (e.g. 3DS Max or Maya) + familiarity with scripting language and shader writing
