What is a Visualiser?

Skills and experience necessary for this role:

A natural talent for hand drawing is essential, as is having a working knowledge of Adobe packages. Previous experience of using Cinema 4D or 3D studio max would be useful.

Required work experience:

This is a difficult question to answer as natural artistic talent is hard to quantify, but it would be fairly unusual to come across a Visualiser who didn’t have several years of work experience under their belt.

Salary:

£35,000 – £45,000

Types of company/agency common for this role:

Any creative agency
