What We Do/Project
When we say, "the stuff dreams are made of," we're not just referring to the world of wizards, dragons, and superheroes, or even the wonders of Planet Earth. Behind WBD's vast portfolio of iconic content and beloved brands are the storytellers bringing our characters to life, the creators bringing them into homes around the world, and the dreamers imagining what's next.
Across the globe, WBD brings together brilliant creatives, storytellers, and innovators with opportunities to explore, grow, and create work that reaches audiences worldwide. Here, you are supported, celebrated, and empowered to thrive.
We are seeking a Temp Designer to join our Global Creative team, developing trend-forward, storytelling-driven style guides and creative assets for some of the world's most recognized entertainment franchises.
This role is ideal for a versatile designer with a strong foundation in graphic design, illustration, typography, and visual storytelling who can translate franchise narratives, cultural trends, and brand strategy into compelling creative systems.
As part of the Style Guide team, you'll create original artwork, graphics, patterns, and design assets that inspire licensed consumer products across global markets. You'll collaborate closely with fellow creatives to explore new visual directions, respond to evolving trends, and develop work that feels both culturally relevant and authentic to each franchise.
This last bit is probably the most important. At Warner Bros. Discovery, our Guiding Principles are the core values that shape how we work, collaborate, and bring our ideas to life. They guide how we make decisions, support one another, and get things done every day.
You can learn more about WBD's Guiding Principles at the WBD Guiding Principles page, including insights from our teams on what they mean and how they show up in their day-to-day work. We hope they resonate with you and look forward to discussing them during the interview process.
