We are looking for 2 or 3 college, graphic design interns for the upcoming Summer and Fall semesters. We will be interviewing from now until the end of March (or longer if need be) for the Summer positions and we hope to fill the Fall positions ASAP as well. The Summer interns will begin in May, and the Fall interns will begin in September.
Applicants must have experience in Photoshop and Illustrator, and have a solid understanding of print design. Experience or knowledge of web design and coding including Dreamweaver and/or Flash are a definite plus. We are looking for someone with self-motivation and a strong desire to learn new skills. A love of vinyl toys (and really all things design-geekery) and a passion to learn about and participate the store are bonuses, as well.
These positions are for serious applicants only. Positions will require a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week for the entire semester. Please contact us at beth.manos@mac.com to let us know a little about you, which semester you are applying for and please send a resume and portfolio or samples of your work, if you have it. Please no phone calls. |

Hero is a part of a fantastic exhibit called Sweet: The Graphic Beauty of the Contemporary Rock Poster, at the University of Maryland running from February 6th - March 29th.
The opening day reception on Wednesday February 6th, is extra special, as a group of us participating poster artists will be there for Sweet Booth, a mini-Flatstock meet'n'greet event from 11am - 7:30pm. Jesse LeDoux will be on hand at the opening as well, he flew in from Japan just to create a site-specific installation in the back gallery of the exhibit that displays the versatility of the screen printing technique. Come say "HI" to us if you are in the Baltimore area, this is going to be an amazing event not to be missed.
And as another bonus, John Foster (author of the superb New Masters of Poster Design) will be lecturing on March 5, at 3pm. For more information, look at the UMD Art Gallery site here. Hope to see some of you there. |
