Arts & Design Expert

What you would do

• Grade AI-generated design, writing, and imagery on craft: judging hierarchy, color and type choices, prose clarity, and whether decisions are deliberate
• Write creative briefs from your own work, documenting audience, constraints, creative standards, and providing reference answers
• Flag where AI output is technically competent but would not ship due to brand, accessibility, licensing, or medium constraints
• Explain your creative reasoning in writing to help AI models improve their judgment and understanding of craft principles
• Participate in short-notice projects across design disciplines when your background matches the work

Who they want

• Professional experience in a creative discipline: design, writing, visual arts, performing arts, film, photography, fashion, or related field
• Ability to articulate why creative work succeeds or fails, not just that it does
• Comfort with ambiguous, open-ended problems and willingness to flag unclear instructions
• Strong written communication skills, since most evaluation work involves explaining your reasoning in detail
• Portfolio demonstrating your creative work and standards (credentials matter less than demonstrated ability)

Main skills

What the interview asks about

1. 1.Design craft evaluation and reasoning

   AI models need to learn not just whether something looks good, but why specific choices in hierarchy, color, and composition work together - this requires explaining invisible design logic.

   For example: “An AI designed a poster with a bold sans-serif headline, muted background, and accent color used three times for emphasis. Walk me through how each choice serves the design - what works, what could improve, and why it matters.”

2. 2.Identifying brand and accessibility problems

   Creative output can be well-executed yet unsuitable for production if it violates brand guidelines, fails accessibility standards, or uses licensed content improperly - catching these separates junior reviewers from experts.

   For example: “An AI generated website copy that reads naturally but uses color alone to distinguish interactive buttons, and several brand colors don't meet WCAG contrast ratios. How would you frame this feedback?”

3. 3.Writing clear creative briefs

   A well-written brief gives AI models concrete criteria to learn from - including what constraints matter, what the audience needs, and what excellence looks like in your medium.

   For example: “You designed a book cover for a self-help title targeting women aged 30-45. Write the brief you would submit: what did you decide about visual tone, typography, and imagery, and why does it work for this audience and genre?”

4. 4.Handling ambiguous creative specifications

   Real creative work often comes with vague or conflicting requirements - recognizing what is missing and proposing solutions shows judgment that goes beyond just following instructions.

   For example: “A project brief says 'Make this webpage cleaner' but doesn't specify audience, goal, brand guidelines, or what looks cluttered to them. What questions would you ask before grading AI output?”

5. 5.Multi-discipline creative knowledge

   AI needs to learn craft principles across different media - you apply consistent principles while recognizing that what works in graphic design differs from what works in writing or film.

   For example: “Compare an AI-generated film poster with an AI-generated landing page. What principles of hierarchy and visual clarity apply to both, and what's specific to each medium?”

A task you may get

Write a brief for one of your creative projects describing audience, constraints, and standards. Then describe an AI alternative that is competent but would not ship - explain why.

How to prepare

• Review design projects you have completed and prepare to explain the reasoning behind key choices
• Examine AI-generated content in your discipline and practice identifying both strengths and areas where craft could improve
• Study brand guidelines and accessibility standards to recognize compliance issues in creative output
• Write several creative briefs explaining projects you have delivered, focusing on what standards AI would need to meet
