About the Role
The Graphic Design Specialist is a unique, multidisciplinary role that bridges the gap between graphic design and spatial design. This position is responsible for helping create the visual elements of the Museum of Utah’s rotating exhibition space, while also providing graphic design support for existing permanent exhibitions within the museum. The workload is split, dedicating 30% of their time helping with exhibit design and 70% to broader UHS marketing needs (including posters, event materials, social media graphics, and print collateral).
Responsibilities
- Design cohesive signage, wayfinding, promotional assets, and collateral for museum spaces.
- Create materials for public programs, member events, and statewide initiatives.
- Develop print and digital assets ranging from social media graphics to event banners.
- Lead the design and layout of institutional documents, including the UHS annual report.
- Helps maintain and enforce visual identity guidelines.
- Consult and collaborate with the exhibits team to ensure 2D environmental graphics align seamlessly with gallery designs and floor plans.
- Design 2D visual layouts, graphics, wall murals, text panels, and labels.
- Work closely with exhibition specialists and external vendors to prepare clear, high-resolution 2-D print files that are incorporated into the physical space.
Requirements
- 4+ years of professional graphic design experience that includes exhibit design, graphic design, or interior spatial design.
- Comfortable using Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop).
- A portfolio showcasing a balance of standard graphic design (brochures, annual reports, branding) and 3D/environmental design (exhibits, pop-ups, or similar spaces).
- Cover Letter: Please outline your graphic and spatial design background, along with your experience translating complex historical text into public marketing assets.
