GRAPHIC DESIGN INTERNSHIP

Main Duties

A typical day might include:

• Contributing to the creation of new brand graphics, logos, visual identity systems, colour schemes, typography, layouts, icons, and animations
• Creating both static and animated graphics, including illustrations and visualisations
• Participating in creative workshops and research
• Collaborating closely with both the creative and wider teams
• Supporting the team with various design tasks
• Pitching in with general studio support tasks and activities whenever needed

What will the internship offer the student and what will they learn while they are with you? E.g. skills they could learn/develop and experience they could gain.

Here at Poppins, we create emotive design, brand identities, smart digital products and creative strategy. And we’re looking for a Graphic Design intern with a love of contributing to high-quality work across a range of projects from brand creation to brand campaigns and content creation to join our team for a 3-month paid placement.

As an Intern here, you’ll be excited to learn and grow your skillset and open to working on a range of projects; able to use the foundations of your knowledge on whatever creative brief you are faced with.

This internship is an opportunity to learn from more senior members within the team. Within the brand design team, you’ll continue to hone your skills crafting brand systems (including bringing brands to life through animation) and artworking files for client delivery. You will learn how to professionally engage with clients, manage your time across projects, and communicate effectively and efficiently with your team members.

An Intern at Poppins does not work in isolation, thoughts and ideas are shared between the wider team regardless of hierarchy so you’ll often be sharing your opinion with others, as well as hearing feedback on your work.

Who we’d like to find:

• Someone with a genuine love and passion for the creative process
• Strong graphic design skills from either previous employment or relevant higher education course
• Proficiency in design tools and software (Adobe Suite, Figma)
• Good knowledge of design principles
• Attention to detail and big creative thinking
• Great communication and time management skills
• The right to work in the UK

What we offer

• Training support and personal career development
• A flexible working pattern, with a one day a week ‘work from home’ policy (the rest of the week is based in our London office)
• Paid internship
