Thanks for applying for our Graphic Designer position!
Given the number of applicants, we're starting the interview process in reverse.
The first step will be to complete a graphic design test. Once your draft is submitted, if it meets expectations, we will move you to the actual interview round.
We make decisions quick and won't make you sit through 28 different Zoom calls.
Also, the design you create will not be published and is for the interview process only.
The Test
Ok, let's have a good time with this.
We have a wide range of designs on the site, but we especially love things that are funny or impactful and will sell to our audience. The typical demo is 25-54 and leans mostly female (shirts are unisex).
We take inspiration from everywhere - good quotes, pop culture, current events, holidays, etc.
Your test is to come up with a design that you think would work well for our site and pulls from the information provided in the previous two paragraphs.
You're welcome to look at our website or Instagram account as inspiration or to learn more.
Note: we know this test is broad, but it allows us to clearly see your creativity and design style.
The designs can be sketches or full blow designs. Whatever you think puts your best foot forward.
Oh, and we'd like you to knock this out in 24-hours or less.
Upon completion, please email your work to ryan@thehomet.com. In the subject line, please put "Graphic Design Test."
