Graphic Designer - Editorial, Poster & Marketing Layout

What you would do

• Deconstruct print and digital designs, cataloging layers, visual hierarchy, and typographic treatment
• Evaluate video clips and short motion sequences using cinematography principles and visual composition language
• Process design files in Figma and Adobe Suite, extracting metadata and component specifications
• Document edge cases and propose schema refinements based on real layouts encountered
• Create exemplar annotations that serve as quality standards for the annotation team

Who they want

• 3-5+ years working as a graphic, visual, layout, or editorial designer with strong portfolio examples
• Expert-level proficiency with Figma, Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop (After Effects a plus)
• Advanced command of typography, color relationships, layout grids, and visual hierarchy in marketing or editorial contexts
• Ability to articulate design choices using precise professional terminology and industry language
• Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design or Visual Communication, or professional portfolio demonstrating equivalent expertise

Main skills

What the interview asks about

1. 1.Typographic hierarchy assessment

   Precise typographic analysis is central to the project; your answer reveals whether you understand visual weight, contrast, and how type creates information architecture.

   For example: “You're analyzing a magazine spread with three typeface families: a display headline, a secondary subheading, and body copy. Describe how you'd document the weight relationships, scale ratios, and how each typeface layer supports the content structure.”

2. 2.Component system navigation

   Efficiently extracting design specifications from complex files is essential; this confirms your mastery of modern design tool workflows and component logic.

   For example: “A Figma file contains nested brand components with color tokens and text styles. Walk through how you would identify master elements, trace their instances across the file, and extract the specifications you need to annotate.”

3. 3.Video composition and motion

   Translating static design thinking to temporal media shows whether your design principles apply across mediums; this matters because video content is part of the project.

   For example: “A product video opens with a static layout, then pans and zooms over details before ending on a call-to-action. Describe how camera movement guides viewer attention and what compositional principles are at work.”

4. 4.Edge case identification

   Recognizing layouts that don't fit standard categories shows critical thinking and improves the annotation framework; your feedback makes the schema more robust.

   For example: “While annotating a collection of experimental posters, you encounter asymmetrical layouts that resist typical grid categorization. What would you document, and how would you communicate this finding to improve guidelines?”

A task you may get

You receive a sample print or digital layout file and an annotation template. Annotate the key compositional elements, document the typographic system, identify the visual hierarchy, and note any schema gaps or ambiguities you encountered.

How to prepare

• Review your portfolio for 3-4 pieces where you can articulate design choices using precise terminology (contrast, weight, scale, negative space, rhythm, alignment)
• Practice describing visual hierarchy in editorial or marketing work - focus on how typography and layout create information flow
• Familiarize yourself with Adobe and Figma workflows, especially layer organization, component systems, and file structure navigation
• Prepare examples of how you evaluate and articulate the relationship between form, function, and visual impact in complex layouts
