methods.

You should already be able to work independently with layered Photoshop documents, including layer management, selection tools, crop, resize, transform, basic image compositing and retouching, removal or replacement of elements, simple graphic elements, opacity, colour and tonal adjustments and exporting in the appropriate format and resolution.

SketchUp or another 3D modelling program: basic working level

You should be able to create and edit simple forms, navigate an existing model, select, move, rotate and scale objects, use groups and components, apply basic materials and use model libraries.

Training will be provided on Riviera Gardens‘ workflows, standards and project methods. However, candidates are expected to already have a solid working command of AutoCAD and Photoshop.

Portfolio

A CV and portfolio are mandatory.

Your portfolio should demonstrate both your visual sensitivity and technical abilities. We are particularly interested in landscape, interior design or architecture projects, plans and technical drawings, graphic presentations, Photoshop work and, where available, 3D work.

Academic projects are absolutely welcome.

Technical drawings are just as important to us as beautiful images.

AI-generated images are accepted, but should represent no more than 20% of the portfolio.

We want the portfolio to primarily demonstrate your own design, graphic and technical abilities.

For professional projects created within another studio or company, please indicate your individual role and contribution.
