The Digital Equity Research Center at METRO is seeking a Graphic Design Consultant to collaborate with us on the development of a visual identity for the Center. We anticipate the project will begin June 5, 2023.
The DERC engages in community-based and participatory research to inform digital equity practice and policy at the local, state, and national levels. Located at the Metropolitan New York Library Council, we work with communities to better understand and co-design meaningful responses to local digital equity challenges in New York City, Westchester County, and beyond. As we celebrate one year since the Center’s establishment, METRO staff will collaborate with a designer to develop a unique visual identity that will ground our future work and our outward appearance in our principles: asset based, power aware, respect focused, and justice centered. Responsibilities include developing a new logo design in consultation with METRO staff and creating a related color palette and style guide for future use. Please share with anyone who may be interested! We especially encourage applications from BIPOC and members of other underrepresented groups, and would welcome working with someone who engages with the design justice principles.
To apply, please send a brief letter of interest (including timeline), resume, and recent portfolio of work to Becca Quon (bquon@metro.org). See our post on METRO’s Jobs Page for details.
