You'll need: Professional experience designing for print, web or publications for a company, studio, publisher or client

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

• 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.

• 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.
