Requirements

  

Ideal Candidate:

You are a detail-oriented person who excels at organizing creative work. You are interested in finding smart ways to present visual ideas. You are experienced with object photography and video and postproduction enhancements. You might still be in school or just out, but you’ve already started building your own creative point of view. You’re curious about how design intersects with space, community, and culture — and you’re excited to support those ideas through production, documentation, and archiving.

Position Description:

We are looking for an intern to work with us on production, documentation and archiving of our past projects in preparation for a new portfolio website and to enrich our archive. An ideal candidate would be organized and detail-oriented with experience in both graphic design and portfolio photography. We’d love to work with someone who can follow art direction for these items and provide their own perspective and ideas on how to achieve a common goal. Applicants should be current students of graphic design or photography, or up to 1 year of professional experience after graduation. Additional professional experience in graphic design, web design, photography, video, or image enhancement is a plus.

Primary Duties:

  • Following production steps to create and format case      studies for past Handbuilt projects for use on a portfolio website, parent      portfolio InDesign file, and general archiving
  • Preparing images and text for website including      retouching, resizing, and organizing existing project photography
  • Photographing and/or scanning existing print projects      and processing those images
  • Creating some new Illustrator or Photoshop files to      help to tell the story of a project. These could include an image that      displays all shapes used in a project, or an image that collages multiple      images together to share the concept of a project.
  • Uploading case studies to new portfolio website
  • Training on Craft CMS platform
  • Training on Open Asset platform
  • Working collaboratively with the Handbuilt and NAC      teams

Skills + Experience Needed:

  • Portfolio/project photography and lighting
  • Photo retouching and color correction
  • Lightroom basics
  • Photoshop basics
  • Illustrator basics
  • InDesign basics
  • Some experience in simple video editing, color      correcting and animation (such as trimming and exporting video in Premiere      Pro and creating GIF animations in Photoshop)
  • Some familiarity using CMS system such as Craft CMS,      WordPress, Squarespace, or similar.

What You’ll Gain:

  • Hands-on experience      building a professional portfolio
  • Mentorship from      designers with backgrounds in education, cultural, and civic design work
  • Portfolio reviews and      guidance on presenting your work
  • Exposure to the inner      workings of a design studio and architecture firm
  • Paid internship
  • Training for Craft CMS
