Graphic Designer Internship

• Create graphics for the Foundation's communication and outreach, building design concepts that fit the purpose and messaging of each assigned initiative.
• Prepare visual content for both digital and offline materials, keeping the look consistent across everything you make.
• Work with team members to understand design briefs, then revise and refine your designs using their feedback and the project requirements.
• Organize and maintain design files so they are easy to find and reuse later.
• Support the creative assets needed for campaigns, activities and organizational communication.
• Try out visual approaches that present information clearly and effectively.

The posting lists these skills for the role:

• Graphic design tools
• Visual design principles
• Layout design
• Creativity
• Collaboration skills

The work mode is remote and the internship runs for six months. The posting does not name a required degree or years of experience, so your portfolio and how well you handle briefs and feedback are what you can show.

• Put together a few pieces that show layout and visual hierarchy, since layout design and design principles are both asked for.
• Include work that communicates a message or cause, because the role is about outreach and communication material.
• If you can, show one piece in two forms, digital and print-ready, as the role covers both.
• Be ready to explain how you took feedback and revised a design, as the work involves repeated refinement.
• Keep your own files tidy and named clearly. File organization is part of the job.
