Graphic Designer

RELEVANT is looking for a Graphic Designer who lives and breathes visual culture—someone who understands that great design isn’t just aesthetic, it’s communication. Our ideal designer tracks trends, knows what makes a graphic thumb-stopping, understands how typography sets a tone and can translate RELEVANT’s distinctive intersection of faith, culture and creativity into visuals that feel fresh, modern and unmistakably us.

This role shapes the look and feel of RELEVANT daily. You’ll create graphics for articles and features, social content, campaigns, podcasts, marketing assets, and both digital and print publications. You’ll collaborate with editorial and creative leadership to keep the brand evolving—high impact, on trend and instantly recognizable.

If you’re the kind of designer who screenshots layouts, has thoughts about kerning in the wild, experiments with motion, and cares about how design shapes conversation and community—this is your role.

Responsibilities

Brand + Visual Identity

  • Interpret and evolve RELEVANT’s visual identity across all platforms

  • Create bold, modern, culture-forward designs that resonate with a young digital audience

  • Collaborate with the Creative Director to maintain cohesion while pushing the brand forward

Digital & Social Content Design

  • Design daily graphics for RELEVANT articles, features and news pieces

  • Create social assets for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Threads—including carousel layouts, story slides, post templates and static podcast promo art

  • Keep a pulse on design trends (type treatments, textures, grids, color treatments, motion-lite elements) and apply them appropriately

  • Produce platform-native designs optimized for engagement

Campaign & Marketing Design

  • Design assets for internal campaigns, seasonal pushes, editorial packages and special projects

  • Create digital ads and marketing graphics that reflect a clean, modern editorial tone

Publication Design

  • Contribute to layout and design for RELEVANT’s quarterly digital magazine

  • Assist in the buildout of RELEVANT’s annual print edition (full-page layouts, typography systems, photo treatments)

Creative Collaboration

  • Work closely with editorial, social, and video teams to develop cohesive visual storytelling

  • Partner with the Social Video Producer on motion-lite graphic elements

  • Iterate based on performance insights and what resonates with the audience

Qualifications

  • Strong portfolio demonstrating modern, trend-aware design (digital + social emphasis)

  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign); familiarity with Figma or other layout tools a plus

  • Strong command of typography, color theory, layout systems and design hierarchy

  • Ability to design for vertical social formats and understand platform behaviors

  • Comfort collaborating with creative leadership and iterating as needed

  • Experience designing for editorial, culture or media brands is a plus—but passion for the space is essential

  • Bonus: basic motion graphics instincts or interest in learning
