Visual Designer - Worldwide Publishing

In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends and has since gone on to become the most played PC game in the world and a main reason for the growth of Esports. Delivering visually stunning experiences for a global audience while also building new games gives artists exciting and complex problems to solve. Here, artists are working not only with one another, but also side-by-side with game designers, narrative writers, and audio designers and engineers to ensure that each piece of content from Riot reaches the level of quality players deserve. From animations to illustrations, cinematics to comics, characters to environments, we work as a team to put players first.

Riot Visual Designers want to craft the best player experiences through their knowledge of systemic design, graphic design, interactivity, layout, typography, color theory, and illustration. Designers collaborate with cross disciplinary teams and act as both artistic and design problem solvers. They understand players and ask questions about the what, who, and how when solving for an interface or communication challenge.

You'll collaborate with the Product Owner, UX Lead, Brand Leads, Creative Leads, Vendors and Developers.
