Additional Skills & Qualifications

From the Manager:

Here are some key items we are looking for when we review UI portfolios:

• Work shows how they can bring the product experiences to life with visual design (style, typography, balance, interaction, accessibility considerations, etc).
• We also like seeing work examples that are somewhat relevant to the digital products we work on and/or showcase the designers abilities (showing us how their designs translate across channels, like web and mobile, is a plus).
• Showcased work should look polished and looks production-ready (no tiny or low-res images, we need to see the work..)
• Designs clearly communicates their aesthetic choices and understanding of visual hierarchy (layouts are balanced, white space vs. content feels appropriate, etc.)
• Designs should demonstrate the ability to design for accessible, user-centered experiences (text is legible, design choices help the user find what they need, etc.)
• Portfolios should also have a strong presentation layer that is clearly organized and easy to navigate (links that don’t work, pdf downloads, messy presentation, etc. all detract)
