Portfolio Tips
Mobile UI Art
Mobile UI must read at small screen sizes and low resolutions. Show UI systems designed for phone dimensions, not PC. HUD layouts, button states, popup menus, and icon design for casual games are directly relevant to Madbox.
Marketing and Store Art
Mobile games live or die on their store page and paid ads. Show experience creating app store screenshots, video thumbnails, playable ad stills, or social media creatives. Understanding what visual hooks drive installs is a significant differentiator.
3D Art for Mobile
Mobile 3D art requires low-poly efficiency with stylised texturing to compensate for low polygon counts. Show stylised characters, environments, and props optimised for real-time mobile rendering. Tennis and sports themes are directly relevant.
Tennis Clash is Madbox’s flagship title with over 150 million downloads worldwide and an active competitive esports scene. It remains one of the top sports mobile games globally. They also published Idle Miner and Subway Surfers Blast.
Does Madbox hire remote artists?
The core team works from Paris. Some senior roles allow partial remote work or hybrid arrangements. Non-EU hires may require relocation to Paris. The studio can process EU Blue Card applications for skilled international hires.
What makes a good portfolio for Madbox?
Mobile-first visual design. Show UI work that reads at phone resolution, marketing creatives that drive engagement, and 3D assets optimised for mobile rendering. General-purpose game art without mobile context is less compelling to their art team.
Is Madbox a good studio for junior artists?
Madbox is a small studio so they hire selectively. Mid-level roles are the most common. Junior candidates with strong mobile-specific portfolios showing UI or marketing art have the best chance. The studio moves fast and offers early responsibility.
Does Madbox offer visa sponsorship?
Yes. Madbox can sponsor EU Blue Card applications for non-EU candidates relocating to Paris. French Tech Visa is another available route for qualifying technical roles. EU citizens work freely without sponsorship.
