Graphic Design Expert

Salary: $20 - 20 hourly

Company: Jobgether

Job Type: Full Time Remote / Work from Home

This is a remote, part-time contract opportunity for a graphic design professional interested in contributing to the development of AI-powered visual evaluation systems. You will assess a large volume of graphic design examples and rate their quality against clearly defined professional criteria. Your expertise will help train AI models to better understand and evaluate visual communication, design effectiveness, and creative quality. The work requires a strong understanding of typography, composition, color, hierarchy, accessibility, and overall visual polish. You will operate independently while participating in calibration sessions designed to maintain consistent evaluation standards. With the potential for continued work beyond the initial engagement, this role offers a practical way to apply your design expertise to cutting-edge AI and machine learning projects.

Accountabilities

• Review and evaluate graphic design samples using a dedicated data-labeling platform and standardized quality criteria.
• Assess typography, including readability, hierarchy, font selection, and appropriate font pairing.
• Evaluate visual hierarchy, composition, balance, focal points, spacing, alignment, and grid usage.
• Assess the quality and execution of design elements such as icons, illustrations, imagery, and other visual assets.
• Evaluate color palettes based on harmony, contrast, accessibility, and overall effectiveness.
• Rate the overall professionalism, polish, and effectiveness of design examples using consistent 1–5 rating scales.
• Apply established rubrics and design principles objectively, separating professional assessment from personal aesthetic preferences.
• Process high volumes of design samples while maintaining accuracy, consistency, attention to detail, and concentration.
• Participate in regular calibration sessions to align evaluation standards and improve inter-rater reliability.
• Clearly communicate questions, ambiguous cases, edge cases, and potential issues with rating guidelines.
• Maintain consistent quality standards across large datasets and contribute to reliable AI training data.

Requirements

• Formal training in graphic design, visual arts, or a related discipline through a degree, certificate, bootcamp, or equivalent professional education, or 2–3 years of professional graphic design experience.
• Strong understanding of core design principles, including composition, color theory, typography, visual hierarchy, layout, and visual communication.
• Ability to objectively critique and evaluate design work against established professional standards rather than relying primarily on personal taste.
• Experience reviewing designs, providing design feedback, or assessing creative work.
• Exceptional attention to detail, visual discrimination, and ability to identify subtle differences in design quality.
• Strong ability to maintain consistent judgment and apply predefined rating criteria across repetitive evaluation tasks.
• Comfortable working independently and maintaining focus and productivity during extended periods of systematic, repetitive work.
• Strong communication skills, particularly when identifying unclear examples, documenting edge cases, or requesting clarification.
• Reliable, disciplined, and methodical approach to work, with a willingness to participate in feedback and recalibration processes.
• Availability to commit at least 10 hours per week, with the initial project requiring 15+ hours per week for two weeks and a minimum commitment of 30 hours.
• A portfolio demonstrating diverse design experience and a strong critical eye is an advantage.
• Experience in design review, art direction, quality assurance, accessibility, branding, editorial, digital design, or UX/UI is beneficial.
• Familiarity with Figma, Sketch, or other modern design tools is a plus.
• Previous experience in data annotation, content moderation, quality evaluation, or AI/ML-related projects is advantageous.
• Familiarity with WCAG, inclusive design principles, design systems, or component libraries is a plus.
• Interest in artificial intelligence, machine learning, or computer vision and their applications to visual and creative fields is highly valued.
• Previous remote work experience and the ability to manage self-directed tasks are advantageous.

Benefits

• Fully remote working arrangement.
• Part-time contract engagement with an initial two-week project.
• Potential for ongoing work following successful completion of the initial project.
• Opportunity to apply professional graphic design expertise to AI and machine learning development.
• Direct contribution to the training of AI models designed to understand and evaluate visual content quality.
• Flexible working structure suited to independent, remote professionals.
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology at the intersection of design, visual evaluation, and artificial intelligence.
• Compensation of up to $20/hour for US-based candidates; compensation may vary by location and contract terms.

How Jobgether works: We use an AI-powered matching process to ensure your application is reviewed quickly, objectively, and fairly against the role's core requirements. Our system identifies the top-fitting candidates, and this shortlist is then shared directly with the hiring company. The final decision and next steps (interviews, assessments) are managed by their internal team.

We appreciate your interest and wish you the best!

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
