Current Graphics Management

Habbox Graphics is the team of Graphic Designers who produce most of the graphics you see around Habbox. This includes the Habbox.com, Habbox Forum, HabboxLive and Habbox Wiki.

The Graphic Designers produce icons, banners and signature images for each of the sites, they are in control of all graphics made by Habbox and published on the site, they are responsible to make the forum colourful and professional. They produce a diverse range of Graphics in varying styles fit for all purposes. The department is currently ran by Drew, who succeeded Nick in January 2014.

The Graphics department has been around from the very start of Habbox, it has had a numerous amount of managers, but Habbox Graphics is one of the departments which doesn't tend to have an 'Assistant Manager' as they found in the early footsteps that it was not needed. The Graphics department is a rather small department which normally contains between 5 and 10 members in the team.

Every piece of art which consists on each 5 sites has been made or edited by the graphics team. In the lifetime of the graphics team, they've had a total of 3 members to go through the department to get the role '(Assistant) General Manager' or 'General Manager'.

Department Roles

A Graphics Staff member should be fairly creative and have a good knowledge of pixel art and their editing software. They should be able to work under pressure and work in team situations to get the graphics sent out before the deadline.

Graphics Designer

Graphics Designers are expected to participate in tasks that are posted by other department managers. Graphics Designer make lots of cool pictures such as banners, icons, forum awards, avatars and signatures to use around the Habbox community.

Senior Graphics Designer

A Senior Graphics designer is almost the same as a usual Graphics Design, except with more authority over the department. They support Graphics Management to ensure smooth running, this includes writing feedback, checking work produced and helping out wherever required.

Pixel Artist The Pixel Artist role will entail creating pieces of pixel art for a variety of Habbox graphic requests, such designing the userbar (and icon) for the newest subscription, creating a unique badge to be used inside Habbo, or altering characters into all kinds of funky positions.

Trivia

• For a while, Habbox had a second graphical based department, the Pixel Art Department, which co-existed with the Graphics Department. It closed but was brought back as a sub-department in 2014 by Drew and lawrawrrr.
• The Graphics get very little recognition for their work, they're the "Back-End" crew.
