- Participating in the design and production of material in support of the publishing arm of PikPok - generally graphic art, design and illustration as required (icons, layout and typography for advertising material, and so on).

**Requirements**:

- A proven ability to work directly across a wide stylistic and genre range, in-line with the type of work and to the level of quality PikPok is known for.
