OverviewFrom logos and name plates to posters and banners, the visuals you create shape how NUWC Keyport presents itself every day. As FWI's Graphic Designer supporting the Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division (NUWC) Keyport on a temporary 12-week assignment, your day-to-day work will center on producing high-quality graphic design deliverables—logos, banners, posters, name plates, and other visual materials—for the command's printed and virtual communications. Beyond your daily design workload, you'll also bring a camera and a production eye to command events, capturing photography, video, and livestreams that help tell NUWC Keyport's story.
