Visual Communication Specialist (2024-25) - LSU CxC

CxC Visual Communication Specialists will provide consultations and mentoring for LSU students and faculty on visual communication projects and assist in general studio operation including assisting clients at the front desk and equipment checkout and management. Visual communication specialists provide consultations for a broad range of visual communication, including discipline-specific content and a variety of genres, from presentation slide decks to posters and graphic design projects. Mentors are not expected to be experts in all disciplines and genres at the time of hire but must be enthusiastic about the opportunity to stretch their knowledge beyond the areas in which they currently excel. Visual Communication Mentors will join a collaborative team that supports all majors and colleges, as well as LSU faculty. Visual communication mentors may be asked to create design guides and tip sheets, help clients navigate visual design software, and present how-to workshops for classes; hence patience, creativity, flexibility, and curiosity are key characteristics for success in this position. Check out cxc.lsu.edu for more info, and email cxc@lsu.edu if you have additional questions and want to connect ahead of completing this form!
