Why AI training matters for designers

AI systems learn from human judgments. As generative and design-capable models become widespread, expert human evaluation is essential to ensure brand outputs meet professional standards for identity, composition, and messaging.

• Work that shapes how models generate logos, packaging concepts, campaign visuals, layouts, and brand systems.
• Flexible, remote work that directly influences state-of-the-art design tools and brand-focused AI behavior.

The role: Brand Design Review Specialist

You will create precise, task-specific scoring criteria and use them to evaluate image-based design deliverables. Your written justifications must make each score clear, consistent, and reproducible so model training teams can learn from your decisions.

• Design grading rubrics for brand identity, logos, visual systems, packaging, campaign visuals, layouts, digital/social assets, and messaging.
• Score AI-generated and human work samples using evaluation ratings and supply evidence-based written critiques.
• Apply expert discernment across typography, hierarchy, composition, color, and overall brand system thinking.

What you'll do day-to-day

• Develop and refine clear scoring criteria and examples for each task type.
• Review image deliverables and assign evaluation ratings backed by concise, defensible written feedback.
