We are currently seeking three design interns for summer 2015. This is a paid position with a 15-20 hour per week time commitment. Prospective interns must commute to our Columbus, OH office.
Start and end dates for the internship term are flexible, but a 12-week commitment is required. Interns will be paid $10 per hour.
This individual should have a desire to work in the publishing industry, as well as have a genuine interest in the book production process. Illustration and fine art skills are a plus, but not required.
This internship will provide working experience in areas such as book cover design, book interior design, branding, client relations and professional processes. Interns will gain experience working as part of a production team, as well as self-managing small projects from start to finish.
Interns will make significant design contributions to real projects. Everyone makes their own coffee, and we don’t own a copy machine.
Applicants should be proficient with the following software:
- Adobe Create Suite (InDesign experience required)
- Microsoft Word
The following skills are required:
- Self-management with ability to manage multiple deadlines
- Ability to adapt to a variety of tasks
- Communication skills (written and verbal)
All applicants must provide examples of previous design work. Academic resume is requested, but will be considered secondary to portfolio.
Interested designers should email a resume to emily@columbuspublishinglab.com by May 1, 2015. Please also include a short description detailing why you’d like to be considered for this internship, and provide digital samples of past design work (links or attachments are fine).
This internship has strong potential to evolve into a traditional position for those that exhibit exceptional performance. This internship is geared towards college students and recent graduates, but all interested candidates are encouraged to apply.
