Graphic Designer

Web Design Awards runs an editorially-curated awards program that indexes the web's best design work, judged year-round by a named jury of working designers against a published rubric. Winners receive a permanent, Google-indexed award page, an embeddable badge, and placement in the directory that buyers and studios browse when choosing who to hire. We're looking for a Graphic Designer to help shape the visual presentation of the brand, the awards platform, and the marketing materials that support submissions, judging, and the winner experience.

What you'll do

• Design visual assets for the website, award pages, badges, certificates, and email campaigns
• Create and maintain brand guidelines to ensure visual consistency across all touchpoints
• Collaborate with marketing and product teams to produce graphics for social media, newsletters, and promotional campaigns
• Design layouts and visual elements for the annual rankings, blog content, and editorial features
• Produce mockups, icons, and illustrations that support the site's overall design language
• Prepare final production-ready files for web and print use

What we're looking for

• A portfolio demonstrating strong visual design skills across digital and print formats
• Proficiency in industry-standard design tools such as the Adobe Creative Suite or Figma
• Solid understanding of typography, color theory, layout, and brand systems
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines independently
• Strong attention to detail and consistency across deliverables
• Clear communication skills and openness to feedback from cross-functional collaborators

Nice to have

• Experience designing for award programs, editorial platforms, or curated content sites
• Familiarity with motion graphics or basic animation
• Experience creating embeddable badges, certificates, or similar branded digital assets
