rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Creative

Review graphic and editorial designs for hierarchy, readability, production readiness and fit with a brief. The work involves choosing stronger design solutions and documenting concise, defensible reasons for each judgment.

The work

You will evaluate posters, covers, page layouts and brand pieces against their intended brief and audience. Day to day, that means comparing design options, checking typography, hierarchy, spacing, color and image-text relationships, then identifying production issues such as low-resolution assets, incorrect formats, inadequate margins or unsuitable print color settings.

What the platform screens for

The platform is looking for professional design experience gained through real company, studio, publisher or client work. Screening is likely to test whether you can describe specific briefs, revisions, production files and delivery decisions, apply design principles under follow-up, and write a short rationale that another reviewer can audit. The posted selection note refers to exhibitions, collections and attribution, which does not match the stated design scope, so candidates may need to clarify the relevant focus during the interview.

Selection and logistics

Applicants submit a resume and short profile, complete a curation interview, and have their experience reviewed against the project. Selected contractors receive guidelines and complete an initial task that is reviewed before further work is assigned. The role is fully remote and open worldwide, but the listing does not state typical weekly hours or explicitly confirm asynchronous scheduling, so availability and turnaround expectations should be clarified during onboarding.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your experience includes accountable client or publisher work rather than personal projects or isolated visual execution.
A strong answer: Anchor the answer in one identifiable project, your exact responsibilities, the brief, major revision decisions and the files or assets delivered. Separate your contribution from the work of collaborators.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by describing a portfolio piece visually without explaining the stakeholder, revision history, production responsibility or final handoff.
