Graphic Designer

Working with Fans First Entertainment 

Working with Fans First Entertainment is fun, challenging, and exciting. We have a team of extremely talented and positive people who are committed and energized by our mission. When it comes to the Banana Ball, they live and breathe “Fans First, Entertain Always.”

The Fans First way guides our team and our teammates to always be caring, different, enthusiastic, fun, growing, and hungry. Everyone shows personal and professional growth and they are constantly serving and impacting others. We’ve built an All-Star team of the best creators, performers, and doers in business. We constantly bring on people who contribute to the atmosphere of intelligence, passion, and fun! The team is obsessed with challenging the status quo and finding a better way to do almost everything for our fans.

Our Vision 

The role of the Graphic Designer is to support and assist in building the brand of Banana Ball and its teams through graphic design to help create the most engaged fan base in the world. 

The Graphic Designer will have the opportunity to impact millions of fans online and in person by continuing to create captivating designs for social media, emails, signage, merchandise, and more. 

This person is obsessed with every aspect of graphic design and understands the ins and outs of graphic design and most importantly – the brand of Banana Ball. They always bring new ideas to the table and are constantly experimenting with their designs to continue growing our brand.

Why is this job not for everyone? 

• • • – We have a small budget and a small content creation team.

      – We don’t have the fanciest gadgets or gizmos. We will invest in them over time as we grow, but don’t expect a spending spree.

      – We will expect and push for an extremely high standard of content creation, production, and execution and expect someone that is hungry to learn, get better, and take constructive feedback.

      – We are extremely picky on what designs are created for our brands and what is produced and utilized. You will have your ideas shot down time and time again. This can be frustrating.

      – The job is demanding. Our fans want to be with us 24/7/365.

      – We move quickly. We don’t have weeks on end to come up with ideas and execute them. We have days, sometimes hours, to create high quality content and make changes. You must be okay with last-minute adjustments and changes.

Because of the challenges with this job, here are the Expectations: 

You will be given more freedom in decision making as you earn your stripes and understanding of this business and organization. It’s going to take time to learn the ropes. The more you learn and the faster you learn, the more freedom that is earned.   

Be resourceful – Use your resources and skills to develop ideas that make a dramatic impact for our brands. 

We must grow faster and learn faster than most people.  Our personal growth has to outmatch the growth of our business. Growing and learning are paramount to leading and inspiring a team of people.  

You will work regularly with other departments to review goals, objectives, priorities, and results of your work and the department’s work to ensure that designs continue to be up to brand standards while still pushing the bar forward.

What’s expected: 

• • • An obsession with building the most on brand graphics that are captivating for our fans and represent our teams and Banana Ball. This includes constantly working on the craft and developing yourself. 
    • Someone who moves confidently and quickly with clear decision making – we learn most from doing. We must have a bias for action and not paralysis by analysis. 
    • “Make Things Happen” – Knows how to execute ideas quickly. You must be able to create and execute efficiently. 
    • The ability to focus and prioritize the most important things and eliminate distractions. It’s easy to get wooed or pulled into a variety of different lanes. There are a million little ‘good things’ we can be doing but knowing the highest and best use of our time and leverage is critical. 

What’s needed: 

• • • In depth knowledge and proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (specifically Photoshop or Illustrator) as related to graphic design is required. 
    • 1-3 years of graphic design experience in a professional setting. 
    • Experience developing creative for social media platforms, printed materials, and merchandise. 
    • Knowledge of print production processes and packaging design basics (color management, proofing, bleed). 
    • Strong project management skills — able to balance multiple deadlines and projects. 
    • Exceptional attention to detail and a strong understanding of marketing and design principles, including typography, hierarchy, and composition. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• • • • • Conceptualize and create engaging graphics, illustrations, and layouts for digital and print assets 
        • Ensure that all projects are executed with consistency in quality and adherence to timelines 
        • Optimize designed assets to brand guidelines and industry best practices 
        • Stay up to date with the latest design trends in graphic design and typography to contribute fresh ideas and perspectives to projects 
        • Collaborate with team members to brainstorm and develop creative concepts that align with objectives and brand identities. These projects will include but are not limited to: 
          • • • • • Working with the Marketing Team on graphics needed for social media. 
                  • Working with the Merchandise Team on creating merchandise designs for upcoming merch concepts. 
                  • Working with the Ticket & World Tour Team to design signage for our games and assets utilized in emails to inform fans on seatings assignments, entry points, and more.
