From our first store in the 1960s, a little Taunton shop with great clothes and even better prices, to an omni-channel business serving millions of customers… we're New Look.
Our purpose is always to inspire That New Look Feeling and we believe that starts with us. Our values motivate us every day: we play to win, we’re customer-obsessed and we work as one.
It's a busy and exciting time for the brand and we’re on the hunt for an Artworker to join our growing Design team.
The Role
Our love of fashion is the inspiration for everything we do here at New Look and that inspiration starts with our amazing in house design team. The world has changed, and we now do so much more virtually that we want our presentation packs to reflect all the creativity and excitement that the New Look design team offers. Every day is different, working with one eye on the now and the other on the future. You will have a creative mind, with a passion for constantly wanting to develop and push boundaries on how the vision is presented.
Working as part of the in-house design team to create inspirational packs and print-ready artwork for presentations to all levels of people within the business. If you have a passion for graphic design, layout, font and colour work then this is the role for you. Motion graphics, animations and ability to use After Effects (or similar) is a must.
