We are currently building out the visual identity and content system for Orato, a first-person global news platform focused on real human stories.
As part of this, we are looking for a designer to develop a scalable, globally adaptable visual system across our site and all distribution channels.
Below is the expected scope of work:
1. Site Landing Pages – Design
Clean, editorial-style homepage design
Intuitively and easy to navigate design
Strong emphasis on headline layouts, storytelling and readability
Modular layout (to allow rotation of stories, not static)
Sections for:
Breaking Stories
Standard Stories (evergreen)
Featured / Hero Story
Categories (Conflict, Health, Crime, etc.)
Op-Eds
Daily “Quote / Thought of the Day” module
Optional light “Joke of the Day” (subtle, culturally adaptable)
Mobile-first responsiveness is key

Image/video frame
Subtle Orato branding

4. Hero Image Templates (For Articles)
Visual identity for story thumbnails and headers
Should feel editorial (not clickbait)

Consistent across all stories
5. Social Media Page Banners
Platform-specific banners for:

Cover art for podcast distribution
Variations for:
Episode-specific thumbnails

Design Direction
Editorial, new-media, not corporate
Appealing to the masses

Comfortable to read font-size and font-style
Minimal, but strong

Avoid overly flashy or “viral-style” graphics
Focus on clarity, hierarchy, and consistency
Deliverables

A Product Ad Storytelling
I started with a simple idea of what heat feels like and what relief looks like.
A Hot city, heavy tension, everything slowing down.
Then Frostva Beer Drink steps in.
I focused on pacing the shift: fast, slow, uncomfortable moments to a sharp cold texture, a clean, satisfying release.
I paid attention to the small things condensation, light, sound, and timing. Not just to show the drink, but to make you feel it and to push my storytelling more than anything.
The way you made me feel the heat and then the cold release — this is textbook product storytelling done right!
