We want to know what you stand for and what motivates you! And of course, we need you to show your work (e.g. website, blog or online album).

What to include in your Portfolio

We want to see what you can do. Whether it’s a custom font you created, a kick-ass logo or even some fan-art for your favourite game, let us see what you’ve got!

Make sure to include high-quality copies of what you feel is your best work, the story behind it and any other attractive sharable examples. We are also never going to say no to some unexpected examples.

We are most interested in hearing about these points:

What to include in your Cover Letter

Strong conceptualisation skills will be vital to this role, so your cover letter will be your chance to tell us of a time when you used your conceptual skills to their utmost. We want to hear about the journey you took that initial idea on.

The cover letter is also your opportunity to tell us about you and what you're passionate about. Whether that's baking cakes, ranking up in your favourite games or raising an army of puppies, we want to know! Tell us about the games you play, why you love those games, and some of the most memorable experiences you have ever had in gaming. There is no limit on Cover Letter length.
