What to know before you apply

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $210–$350 and 20 hours about $420–$700 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Openings
1000 openings means this is a high-volume project. You are not competing for one seat: if you pass the test, there is room for you.
Location
Only applicants located in United States can be paid for this role. Platforms usually verify where you are, so apply only if you are based there.
Timing
This listing is new today. Projects can close once they have enough people, so it is worth applying while it is open.
Test tips for designers
  • Give specific, fixable critique: what is off, why, and how to fix it.
  • Keep a tight portfolio link ready; it is usually the first thing reviewed.
  • Match the brief's style references before adding your own taste.
