Posted 2 months ago

Worldwide

Summary

I’m looking for a visual researcher / design researcher who can help collect and organize references for jewelry design development. I am not looking for someone who simply collects a large number of beautiful images. The ideal person should be able to understand the brand direction and find references that can actually be translated into jewelry design, such as forms, structures, proportions, motifs, details, silhouettes, and construction ideas. Quality is more important than quantity. The research will be used by jewelry designers as practical references for product development. Reference Sources Please collect references from areas such as: * Architecture * Product design * Furniture design * Industrial design * Symbols * Art * Sculpture * Vintage jewelry * Contemporary jewelry * Fashion brand accessories * Clasps, metal parts, hardware, and connection structures * Nature and historical motifs What We Are Looking For Please select references based on the following points: * Whether it fits the brand direction * Whether the form can be translated into jewelry * Whether the structure works at a small scale * Whether it can be applied to rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, or clasps * Whether the shape has strong symbolic value * Whether it feels minimal, elegant, refined, and premium * Whether it fits a men’s-leaning, quiet luxury jewelry brand * Whether a jewelry designer can actually use it for product development Deliverables Please organize the research in Google Slides, Figma, PDF, Pinterest, Google Drive, or another clear format. Preferred organization: 1. By motif 2. By shape 3. By structure 4. By material feeling 5. By jewelry application potential Individual notes or analysis for each image are not required. However, the images should be clearly organized by theme, direction, or design potential so that jewelry designers can use them easily. Important We value brand understanding and selection quality more than the number of images. We do not need a random collection of beautiful images. We need practical design references that help jewelry designers move directly into actual design creation. This should be more than a Pinterest-style moodboard. We are looking for someone who can collect references connected to real jewelry forms, structures, proportions, and motifs. Budget The expected budget is around $0.1〜$0.5 per image, depending on quality. Individual notes are not required, but we care about brand understanding, image selection quality, and organization. We would like to start with a small paid milestone first. If the quality is good, this can become an ongoing research task. Contract Structure After the contract starts, the first paid milestone will be a small research board. For the first milestone, please create a board with around 20〜30 reference images under one theme. If the quality, brand understanding, and organization are good, we would like to continue working with you on ongoing motif research. Proposal Instructions When applying, please include: 1. Your experience with design research, moodboards, jewelry research, or visual research 2. Whether you can understand a brand direction and select references based on it 3. Whether you can find references from architecture, product design, jewelry, art, and symbols 4. Any relevant portfolio or previous similar work 5. Your preferred rate per image 6. Your preferred delivery format * Google Slides * Figma * PDF * Pinterest * Google Drive etc. 7. Estimated delivery time 8. Please write “JEWELRY MOTIF RESEARCH” at the top of your proposal so I know you read the full job post
