Your writing will help broaden horizons and widen minds!

Responsibilities

  • The Editor will curate content and compose articles discussing and dissecting design. We love people who can speak freely about what they think is good design, draw parallels between design works, and spot design trends. Your articles will aim to inspire both designers and non-designers to learn about and appreciate relevant innovative work.
  • The Editor will be required to prepare/edit images pertaining to the article.
  • Also as an Editor, you may be required to attend national/international design awards, festivals, and exhibitions to represent Yanko Design.
