Vector Designer for a Twelve-Icon Set in Inkscape

We study how professionals actually work - how experts drive creative and technical software - as research toward better computer interfaces. This is a paid demo project: you complete one realistic task while we record the screen and your spoken commentary. This is the first round. If it goes well, there is a real chance it turns into ongoing work. Assignment Design a set of twelve icons on a consistent grid with a shared visual language, optically corrected, and exported as clean SVGs an engineer could drop straight into a product. Time: 3 hours, in one non-stop sitting Timing: we need the session completed this week You choose the product Decide what the icon set is for and which twelve icons it needs. How the session works You work inside a cloud computer we provide, with the hardware and software already set up. Your screen, mouse, keyboard and microphone are recorded for the whole session, and you talk through what you are doing as you do it. We are recording how you work, not grading how closely you follow instructions. Use your own workflow and research the way you normally would. Dead ends, restarts and changed minds are genuinely useful to us - please do not tidy up your process. Spoken English matters for this one The commentary is half of what we are paying for, so you need to be comfortable thinking out loud in English for a few hours straight. Fluency matters far less than being able to keep talking while you work. So please include a short voice recording with your proposal - under 60 seconds, but long enough for us to hear how you explain something in English - answering this question: "When does an icon need to break the grid to look right?" Just your honest answer in your own words. We are listening for two things: how you explain your workflow, and whether we can follow your spoken English. It does not need to be a perfect or complete answer. Proposals without a voice note will not be reviewed. Deliverables - The Inkscape source file with all twelve icons. - Twelve individual SVG exports. - One overview image showing the full set. - A Working_Notes folder with your references, sketches, scratch files and notes Ideal freelancer Icon or vector designer with a portfolio of production icon sets.
