Riot Games was established in 2006 by entrepreneurial gamers who believe that player-focused game development can result in great games. In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends to critical and player acclaim. As the most played video game in the world, over 100 million play every month. Players form the foundation of our community and it’s for them that we continue to evolve and improve the League of Legends experience.

We’re looking for humble but ambitious, razor-sharp professionals who can teach us a thing or two. We promise to return the favor. Like us, you take play seriously; you’re passionate about games. We embrace those who see things differently, aren’t afraid to experiment, and who have a healthy disregard for constraints.

That's where you come in.

As a Visual Designer at Riot, you'll create exceptional player experiences by leveraging your expertise in system design, graphic design, interactivity, layout, typography, color theory, and illustration. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to solve art and design challenges, asking questions about the "what," "who," and "how" when addressing UI or communication challenges, always with the player in mind.

As a Rioter in China, you'll join a team of internationally and culturally diverse professionals that share our prioritization of player experience, rejection of convention and maniacal passion for gaming.

To reinforce Riot’s collaborative culture in our China offices, we’ve decided to do away with the constraints of traditional hierarchical title structures that are more common in the region. Titles don’t really matter at any of Riot’s offices, but we chose to take this extra step in our China offices to foster a space where teamwork thrives. We believe that removing this constraint will promote individual autonomy, ownership, collaboration, and a focus on results. We promise you won’t need a title at Riot to make an impact.

Responsibilities:

• Design in-game visual assets that align with the project’s creative goals and art direction.
• Create visually balanced and intuitive designs, showcasing strong understanding of readability, hierarchy, and player behavior.
• Collaborate with designers and artists to produce visuals that meet functionality, player usability, and design goals, both in-game and related to the game.
• Work with publishing and EP to define creative vision, provide effective visual design strategies, and deliver key visual design elements for the creative vision.
• Partner with external vendors to produce appropriate visual assets, oversee the design process and final products, ensuring they meet project needs and brand standards.
• Utilize your deep understanding of graphic design, interactive design, layout, typography, color theory, and illustration to deliver high-quality visuals and enhance the player experience.
• Extend visual themes across the project, establish style guides and visual design standards.
• Set professional quality benchmarks.

Required Qualifications:

• 6+ years of experience in visual design for game development or game publishing.
• Experience with visual design for at least one live game.
• Experience in the advertising or print industry.
• Proficiency in Adobe CC products, including Photoshop and Illustrator.

Desired Qualifications:

• Understanding of brand visual design content and processes, with extensive experience in brand services.
• Knowledge of game publishing processes, including target audience insights, market analysis, publishing strategies for different game stages, content promotion, visual communication, and platform-specific promotion rules.
• Familiarity with game development processes, including requirement understanding, teamwork, design progression and implementation, design optimization, and localization.
• Experience in related fields such as illustration, storyboarding, or 3D modeling.

Don’t forget to include a resume and cover letter. We receive a lot of applications, but we’ll notice a fun, well-written intro that shows us you take play seriously.

For this role, you'll find success through craft expertise and a collaborative spirit that prioritizes the delight of players. We will look at your past studies and experience, but for this role, we also look for dedicated people with a personal relationship with games. If you embody player empathy and care about players' experiences, this is the role for you!

Our Perks:

Riot Games fosters a player and workplace experience that values teamwork embodied by the Summoner's Code and Community Code. Our culture embraces differences as a strength, and our values are the guiding principles for how we approach work. We are committed to putting diversity and inclusion (D&I) at the center of everything we do, and promoting a fair and collaborative culture where Rioters treat one another with dignity and respect. We encourage you to read more about our value of thriving together and our ongoing work to build the most inclusive company in gaming.
