Graphic Designer Application

DISRPTVE is a strategy-led marketing agency based in Mumbai. We build brands that cut through the noise and stay un-ignorable. We work across brand strategy, content production, performance marketing, and celebrity partnerships.

We are not looking for people who can just execute. We are looking for people who think, who have taste, and who care about the work. If that sounds like you, this form should be fun.

The Role

We are looking for a Graphic Designer with a distinct eye for visual systems, not just pretty posts. You should understand that great design is structure first: grids, hierarchy, negative space. Trends change monthly, but a designer who thinks in systems will stay sharp regardless. You will be designing across a diverse client roster, from bold, disruptive D2C aesthetics to more classic, established brand identities. This means working within varied visual systems and adapting your approach per brief while maintaining production quality and platform-specific design intelligence across Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and beyond.

What You Will Do

• Design clean, impactful visual content for brands across social and digital platforms

• Build and maintain visual consistency across campaigns, adapting to each brand's identity

• Create static posts, carousels, Stories, cover images, banners, and presentation assets

• Collaborate with strategists, writers, and video editors to ensure visual-copy alignment

• Develop quick-turnaround assets without sacrificing design quality

• Work within brand guidelines and established design systems while bringing fresh ideas

• Stay current on design trends, platform-specific formats, and visual culture across social

What We Are Looking For

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Figma

• Familiarity with AI design tools (Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Freepik AI, or similar)

• Strong sense of layout, typography, colour theory, and visual hierarchy

• A portfolio that demonstrates range across varied visual identities and brand tones

• Comfort working across platform-specific dimensions and formats (feed, Stories, Shorts, LinkedIn)

• Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple brand projects simultaneously

Nice to Have

• Basic motion graphics or animation skills (After Effects, Lottie)

• Experience building brand guideline documents or design systems from scratch

• Illustration or hand-lettering capability

Current Notice Period *

Link to your portfolio or body of work (Drive, Behance, website, whatever you have) *

Link 5 pieces of design work you personally made. For at least 2, walk us through the brief and the design choices you made (layout, type, colour, why). *

Pick any brand's Instagram grid that you think is well designed. Drop the handle and tell us what makes it work visually, not just "it looks clean." *

A new premium skincare brand gives you their logo, brand colours (matte black, off-white, gold), and says "make us look luxurious but not boring." Design or describe 3 different visual directions you would present. What makes each one distinct? *

Walk us through how you have used AI tools (Midjourney, Firefly, Freepik, or others) in a real project. What did you prompt, how did you refine it, and how did it fit into the final output? *

You are designing for two brands on the same day. One is a streetwear label that wants to feel raw and underground. The other is a heritage jewelry brand that wants to feel timeless. Show us or describe what the Instagram feed post looks like for each. Same content type, same format, completely different design language. *

Pick any brand logo you think is perfectly designed. Now pick one you think is weak. Tell us why for both. Not "I like it" or "it looks off." Tell us what is structurally working or failing. *

What is a design trend on Instagram right now that you think is lazy? Why does it keep showing up and what would you replace it with? *

Send us a screenshot of your saved folder or Pinterest board. Not a curated one. The one you actually use for reference. We want to see what you collect when nobody is looking. *

Tell us about a typeface you love and one you refuse to use. Why for both? Be specific, not "it looks nice" or "it is overused." *

Name a designer, studio, or brand whose visual identity makes you genuinely jealous. What are they doing that you have not figured out how to do yet? *

You are given complete creative freedom for a brand's Instagram page. No guidelines, no references, just "make it ours." What is the first thing you build before you design a single post? *

If you had to explain the difference between a good designer and a great designer to someone outside the industry, what would you say? *

What is the most underrated design skill that nobody talks about but separates people who are good from people who are actually reliable to work with? *

Where do you want to be in 2 years? Not the polished answer. The real one. *

Send us one piece of design, from anywhere on the internet, that you wish you had made. No explanation needed. What you pick tells us more than any answer on this form. *

Lastly, Why DISRPTVE? Be honest. What made you fill this form out instead of scrolling past it? *
