UI Artist

Do you want to be part of creating a multiplayer digital playground for kids to hang out in and play together?

As the first UI Artist on this project you’ll be the one to create the majority of the UI assets - from placeholder to final art, from menus and buttons to in-game assets.

You’ll be part of a growing game team in delivering our most ambitious project yet - Toca Days - a friendly multiplayer world for children where they can feel safe, creative and be able to express themselves.

What you’ll be doing
You will be responsible for creating all UI visuals in the game. You’ll collaborate closely with the Art Director and UX Designer in order to develop the visual identity for the UI in Toca Days. You’ll ensure the look is consistent, and inline, with the visual identity of Toca Boca as a whole.

You’ll create game-ready UI assets and implement them in-engine, with the support of the rest of the team of course. You’ll be Iterating on the visuals to make sure they are accessible and understood by all our players.

You’ll develop documentation and style guides for the project as the game grows, ensuring it remains in line with the overall project vision.
Is this you?
You are an experienced UI Artist who’s comfortable designing for touch screen devices (be it from working with games or other mobile apps).

You’re used to working with Illustrator and vector graphics and UI art tools in general. You might have an interest in UI animation and/or 2D illustration.

You have a strong appreciation of UX design and an ability to see beyond the wireframes, turning them into magic. You understand how color, shape and placements have an effect on gameplay and player behavior.

What we’ll be looking for in your portfolio
We are looking for a strong UI art portfolio showing finished projects you’ve worked on as part of a team. We’d like to see you explain your thoughts and share your explorations, so we can understand your process. We would like to see examples of vector icons and playful graphical UI details.
