• Proficiency with Adobe Illustrator (or equivalent vector tools) and preparing print‑ready artwork.
• Ability to translate a brief into clear, simple visual systems and produce concise usage guidance.
• A collaborative, hands‑on approach and understanding of the non‑profit/education context.

  • MindSpark Accredited School (Tier 2)
  • MindSpark Flagship School (Tier 3)

• Create a coherent visual system showing progression across tiers (shape/colour hierarchy, iconography) while remaining accessible and inclusive.
• Produce scalable vector assets (SVG/AI/EPS) plus web‑optimised (PNG/WebP) and print‑ready files (CMYK/PDF with bleed).
• Provide usage guidance (mini one‑pager) covering clear space, minimum sizes, colour palette, do’s/don’ts, and example placements (web, email signature, certificate, social banners, lanyard/ID).
