• Fully proficient at intermediate to expert level in Canva Editor
• Strong proficiency in design principles (composition, color theory, typography, visual hierarchy)
• Ability to objectively critique and evaluate design work against industry standards
• Understanding of what constitutes effective vs. ineffective design choices
• Experience reviewing or providing design feedback
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to maintain focus during repetitive tasks

• Reliability and consistency in your evaluation standards
• Self-motivated with ability to work independently on repetitive tasks
• Excellent focus and concentration for sustained periods
• Strong communication skills for flagging edge cases or unclear examples
• Comfortable with feedback and re-calibration
• Minimum 20 hours per week availability for at least 4 weeks, with potential to extend
• You thrive on consistency and repetition - You find satisfaction in systematic work and can maintain quality standards while evaluating similar content repeatedly without losing focus or accuracy
• You have a calibrated design eye - You can quickly assess design quality against objective criteria and apply the same standards consistently across hundreds or thousands of examples
• You're objective and principled - You separate personal taste from professional assessment, basing ratings on established design principles rather than subjective preference
• You maintain sustained focus - You can work through high volumes of repetitive tasks while staying sharp and attentive to subtle quality differences
• You're a clear communicator - You flag confusing examples or rating criteria early, ask clarifying questions, and document edge cases clearly
• You're curious about technology - You're genuinely interested in how AI learns to evaluate design quality and see value in contributing to machine learning training data

Desirable

• Type: Part-Time Contract (20 hours per week for 4 weeks | 80 hour minimum commitment)
• Duration: 4 weeks with potential for ongoing work
• You'll examine designs to understand color schemes, font choices, and other design elements
• You will then review a slide within that design that seems out of place
• Leveraging your graphic design expertise, along with what you learn in our training, you will edit the incorrect slide to match the rest of the overall design
• This is all in an effort to train AI models that assess design effectiveness—contributing to cutting-edge technology that advances how AI understands and evaluates visual content quality
• Review designs in Canva Editor to examine various design dimensions:
• Typography quality (readability, hierarchy, font pairing appropriateness)
• Visual hierarchy effectiveness (clarity, balance, focal point strength)
• Design element execution (icon quality, illustration polish, image selection)
• Color palette effectiveness (harmony, contrast, accessibility)
• Layout and composition quality (grid usage, spacing, alignment)
• Overall design effectiveness and professional polish
• Identify flaws in one slide within the overall design. These flaws may be minor, like simple font size issues. They may be major, requiring a full reconstruction of the slide
• Using the other slides in the design as reference, edit the flawed slide to build more cohesion across the entire design
• Process high volumes of design samples with sustained attention to detail
• Meet quality benchmarks for rating consistency and inter-rater reliability
