Designer Jobs in Portland, OR

A Designer in the advertising industry is responsible for creating visually appealing and effective promotional materials for a company's products or services. They collaborate closely with advertising and marketing teams to understand brand objectives, target audience, and promotional goals. They use this information to create designs for various advertising platforms such as print, online, television, and social media. Designers also play a key role in selecting the colors, images, text style, and layout for an advertising campaign. They also provide quality control over their own work and the work of their team by reviewing designs for errors before printing or publishing.
