Cleanup & Quality Control Spot and fix visual inconsistencies Remove unusable or weak outputs Keep the asset library tight and high quality What Good Looks Like Assets are clean, crisp, and ready to ship (no rough edges or artefacts) Levels feel intentional, not cluttered or random Findables are well-balanced: not too obvious, not frustrating File system is organised enough that anyone can pick it up instantly High output, but only strong work makes it through Required Skills Strong Photoshop skills (cutting, masking, cleanup) Experience with AI image tools (Midjourney, SD, etc.) Good eye for composition and spatial layout Ability to work fast and stay organised
