Illustrator Jobs in New Jersey

In the commercial art industry, an Illustrator is responsible for creating artwork to articulate concepts and ideas that represent a company's brand, product, or service. They usually collaborate with other creatives such as graphic designers, art directors, marketing teams, and clients to develop visual elements for advertising campaigns, product packaging, websites, and more. They might also develop storyboards for animations and videos. Their creations can be used in various mediums including print, digital, and video. Their work is integral in promoting brand identity and in conveying messages effectively to the target audience.
