Yanko Design Is Looking For Writers

The site is growing more quickly than we could have possibly imagined, reaching 1.7 million page views per month! We’re looking for a couple of design-loving writers to join our team! You don’t have to be a professional writer or even be a designer, but you must enjoy writing about design and be capable of expressing yourself in a clear, engaging way.

We need someone who can commit to blogging daily or every two days, but we’re extremely flexible about the schedule. To apply, we need:

• Three sample posts
• A few words about yourself and why you’re interested in design or writing about design
• Your Resume
• Your contact info and scheduling, including a ballpark number of posts per week
• Your rate per post

How to apply

Once your application is complete, send us an e-mail at resumes-at-yankodesign.com

I stumbled upon your website and fell in love with it. I wish I could apply as a writer, but I come here for design information and would not be the best contributor. Best of luck to you guys on your search.

Technically we do not have a deadline set but we received many applicants, and we’re currently in the process of sifting through applications.

Hi, I’m interested in this notice.
But I’m worry about my English ability( specially grammar errors) because i’m not an english native writter.
Actually I’m Korean. but I really want this.
I’ll wait for your reply. Thanks.

I have been coming to this site ever since I discovered it a year ago. As an industrial designer I would love the opportunity to contribute to this site as well as get the first look at emerging tech.

Hey there
I’m an industrial design student in Toronto, and I love writing. Used to pen articles for a few small newspapers and stuff, so if you’re interested, I definitely am.

Hi, little off topic question, but I was wondering what keyboard is depicted in the thumbnail image for this topic? Looks very sleek.

Many Thanks

you mention “Three sample posts” in the application requirements. do we post them at a specific site or can we send in a document of our sample technical articles?

thanks.

I’m happy to hear that Yankodesign is growing so much …good news. I would also be interested to get in the Yanko Design team, but I think I need more details.

A friend of mine forwarded the link to this post to me. I took a look at the Random Designs page and skimmed over it. There are some very fascinating concepts there. I’m actually a freelance graphic artist but in my free time on occasion I write movie reviews for a couple of websites. Its not a job I just do it for fun and some people have said they like my reviews. I guess thats why my buddy referred me to this post. I’m not sure what kind of “rate per post” I would expect but this does sound interesting to me. I don’t know if I would really qualify to write reviews about designs but it could be something I could try I suppose.

While we probably couldn’t help you with daily content - we could help you fill the pet section on Yanko with some standout designs. Check out our site for more: http://PupStyle.com
