The Magic TCG Studio is hiring a packaging-savvy Graphic Designer with an eye for innovative design, a passion for visual storytelling, and a deep connection to both awesome retail/product expressions AND fantasy entertainment. Our outstanding artwork, intriguing characters, engaging worlds, and tales of fantastical adventure are waiting for you!
The Graphic Designer will build Magic’s packaging “look and feel” using all the skills of the modern creative – identity, structural, graphic design, illustration, typography, and art direction. This is a tactical, hands-on design role in which you will ensure the style and quality of all assets conform to the vision and requirements as defined by brand standards, the Art Directors and our production processes.

What You'll Do
Using primarily Adobe InDesign / Photoshop and Illustrator you will concept, pitch, execute, and deliver creative solutions for Magic TCG packaging and product — everything from packaging mock-ups to final print-ready files —while sticking to design industry standards. In this role, you will:
- Build multiple visual solutions based on creative direction and strategy provided while constantly innovating on the brand.
- Communicate and execute feedback from Studio Managers, Product Designers, and Art Directors.
- Stay up-to-date on current design trends and pursue creative development by collaborating with management and peers to develop skills.
- Brainstorm as a team, not as an individual.

- 3 + yrs experience in a Graphic Design, Art Direction, or related role in Print Production.
- Portfolio demonstrating high-quality design work related to Print.
- Passion for packaging, structural, and print processes.
- Specialization in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator software, with experience crafting clean, print-ready files.
