Age Requirements: Must be between the ages of 17 and 35

Job Description

Your artistic abilities will shine when you join the Army National Guard as a Multimedia Illustrator. These Soldiers are primarily responsible for operating multimedia imaging equipment in order to produce visual displays and documents such as training manuals, newspapers, and reports, as well as promotional materials including signs, charts, posters, television, and motion picture productions. These projects require the use of professionally developed artwork, and your talents could help make an impact in the military.

Your training will enable you to assume duties that include supervising, planning, or operating multimedia imaging equipment in order to produce various kinds of visual displays and documents. Some of your duties may include: creating illustrations, layouts, map overlays, posters, graphs, and charts; producing computer-generated graphics; developing ideas, and designing posters and signs; designing artwork for training courses; developing animation; working with television and film producers to design backdrops and props for film sets; and performing maintenance on assigned equipment.

Some of the Skills You’ll Learn
• Introduction to graphics, lettering, drawing, and layout techniques
• Illustration and television graphic techniques
• Theory and use of color

Helpful Skills
• Interest in artwork or lettering
• Ability to convert ideas into visual presentations
• Neatness and an eye for detail

Through your training, you will develop the skills and experience to enjoy a civilian career as a graphic designer or illustrator with government agencies, advertising agencies, Web design firms, print shops, or engineering firms.

Earn While You Learn
Instead of paying to learn these skills, get paid to learn. In the Army National Guard, you will learn these valuable job skills while earning a regular paycheck and qualifying for tuition assistance.

Job training for a Multimedia Illustrator consists of 10 weeks of Basic Training, where you’ll learn basic Soldiering skills, and 13 weeks of Advanced Individual Training (AIT) and on-the-job instruction, including practice in preparing graphic designs and illustrations. Part of this time is spent in the classroom and part in the field.
