Apply industry design principles, theories, standards, and best practices in graphic and UI/UX design, data visualization, statistics, cartography, geography, color theory, layout and typography to implement design ideas that communicate stories visually. Keep abreast of and incorporate new technologies, tools, and techniques-while upholding ODNI procurement and security policies-to enhance the quality of NIC visual intelligence products. Assist in developing criteria and benchmarks for evaluating whether a visual aid would enhance a NIC product, and for gauging the effectiveness of the final visual product. Work with NIC staff toward the development and delivery of focused briefings to customers and ODNI senior leadership on critical publications/media issues and future development needs in order to continuously improve media products and services. Monitor trends and patterns of change in external private industry publications/media businesses, as well as changes to customer requirements for media deliverables; anticipate the impact of these changes on the team's ability to support ODNI mission needs and proactively plan and implement strategies to leverage change to the customer's advantage. Communicate with customers to determine their requirements and strategies and coordinate with customers to plan projects; work closely with customers and planners, assess work order parameters on complex projects, collect information, discuss production schedules, provide necessary services, and resolve procedural and production problems that may arise.
