About the Project

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.

What You'll Do

• 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
