Graphic Design Intern

Uncloseted Media is looking for a Graphic Design Intern to help bring our journalism to life across social media and digital platforms.
You’ll work with our team to create social graphics for our Instagram page, YouTube thumbnails for our video podcast, story illustrations and high concept designs for our investigative LGBTQ-focused journalism, and more. This is a great opportunity to help shape the visual identity of an independent nonprofit LGBTQ newsroom at a time when the freedom of the press and the queer community are under unprecedented attack.
This is a part-time internship (1–2 days per week) that can count toward co-op/internship credit.
What we’re looking for:
Experience working with a newsroom and/or coursework in journalism or editorial design
Experience designing graphics for social media
Ability to create original visual concepts and artwork to illustrate stories
A keen eye for detail and strong visual instincts
Excellent time management and communication skills
A creative self-starter who is full of ideas and willing to take initiative on tasks
A commitment to uplifting LGBTQ communities and other marginalized voices
Ideal candidates will have experience with some of the following: Canva, Adobe Illustrator, Figma, After Effects and DataWrapper
If this sounds like you, or someone you know, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out with your resume and portfolio to sophie.holland@unclosetedmedia.com and CC spencer@unclosetedmedia.com.
Feel free to share with any students or emerging designers who might be a great fit!
