Role Title: Graphic and Editorial Design Expert
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
Opportunity Snapshot
Pay: $55 to $100 per hour
Location: Fully remote, worldwide
You’ll need: Professional experience designing for print, web or publications for a company, studio, publisher or client
Your tasks: Review designs and briefs, judge layout, readability and brief match, and explain your decisions in writing
You’ll review graphic and editorial design work and judge it: what works, what doesn’t, and why. This is a good fit if you work as a graphic designer, editorial designer, layout designer or art director and make decisions about how a page, a publication or a brand piece looks and reads.
Scope of Work
- Look at designs (posters, covers, page layouts, brand pieces) and judge which one is stronger for a given brief and audience.
- Check hierarchy, spacing, type choices, color and how text and images work together.
- Flag problems that would show up in production (wrong format, low resolution, margins, print color).
- Check that a design fits the brief and the brand or publication style.
- Write a short explanation for each decision so a reviewer can follow your reasoning.
What we’re looking for
- Professional work as a graphic designer, editorial designer, layout designer, publication designer, art director or brand designer.
- Daily use of professional tools such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop or Figma.
- Experience with real jobs: briefs, revisions, production files and delivery to a client or publisher.
- Comfort explaining why one design works and another doesn’t.
- Clear written English.
How the selection process works
- Apply with your resume and a short profile.
- Complete the curation interview. It is a short conversation about your experience with exhibitions, collections and attribution. You don’t need to prepare, look at anything or write anything. Finishing it is what moves your application forward.
- Review. We check your experience against what the project needs.
- Onboarding and first task. If selected, you get the guidelines and start with an initial task, which is reviewed before you continue.
This is a 100% remote contract role, open to applicants worldwide in the countries the employer accepts.
