Graphic Design Internships
You must be a senior or about to enter your senior year of a
four-year degree, and must be a graphic design major. The
internship is unpaid, with the number of hours dictated by
school requirements but not to exceed 14 hours per week. Goals
for the internship include: speculative feature design,
speculative cover design, assisting in the creation of ads and
promotional pieces for the sales department, desktop scanning,
color correction and image manipulation in Photoshop, photo
research, assisting at a photo shoot, evaluating color proofs
for press, and speculative design of circulation pieces. You
should have an expressed interest in publication design and
working knowledge of Photoshop, In Design and Mac OS X. Contact
Maggie Kasprzak at 414-287-4302 or
Maggie.Kasprzak@milwaukeemagazine.com to arrange a portfolio
review. Contact should be made at least 3 weeks before the start
of the applicable semester, but the internships are competitive
so it is to your advantage to have your portfolio seen early in
the process, as much as 8 weeks before the start of the
semester.
Editorial Internships
Interested in being a Milwaukee Magazine editorial intern?
At Milwaukee Magazine, we give you a taste of everything, as
well as a sense of the big picture. That means designing a
well-rounded internship experience during which you work side by
side with editors, writers, designers and photographers to get
an inside look at how the magazine works.
- Are you a slave to detail? A grammar
guru? A word wizard? You'll spend some time working with our
managing editor, honing your copy-editing and fact-checking
skills.
- Are you a private eye at heart? Do you
enjoy looking past the front-page news to find the inside
story? Then work with our Insider editor to dig up what's
going on behind closed doors throughout the city.
- Are you a trend-seeker? Write
mini-reviews of the city's latest in everything.
- Are you an organizer? Collect and sift
through information on a long-term feature story project,
working with top freelance writers and our editors.
You get the idea. Our semester- and summer-long
internships give you hands-on experience. You'll be given
assignments and deadlines. You'll accompany writers on
interviews. You'll dig up public records and make phone calls.
Interns are encouraged to take part in editorial meetings and
offer opinions and story ideas. Milwaukee Magazine interns are
not paid, but they trade their hard work for solid journalistic
experience.
Past interns have gone on to
work for Maxim, New York magazine, the Milwaukee mayor's office,
a New York publishing house, the Associated Press, the Milwaukee
Journal Sentinel and Waukesha Freeman. Several have also
returned to Milwaukee Magazine.
Who is a Milwaukee Magazine intern?
Our interns are juniors or seniors in college, college graduates
or graduate students. We may consider interns outside of these
guidelines in certain circumstances. In most cases, interns earn
college credit and need to demonstrate proof of this upon
accepting the internship.
Prospective interns should have
taken classes in reporting and writing for publication. They
should be writing for a school or community newspaper or
magazine and be able to supply at least five good writing
samples (clips) of published work, not papers for an English
class.
Interns should already have
developed solid reporting skills they now want to practice and
hone. They should be able to track people down, scour public
records, conduct interviews and find information. They should
possess strong grammar and spelling skills and be able to write
in a variety of styles. Interns should demonstrate an eagerness
to learn and an ability to build upon constructive criticism to
improve their work.
What is Milwaukee Magazine looking for in an intern?
We are looking for enthusiastic, determined, creative thinkers
and hard workers who can spend 15 to 20 unpaid hours each week
at the magazine for a semester or a summer. Periodically, there
also may be secondary project-oriented internships that would
last less than a semester or summer.
If you are able to work both
independently and in a group, jump right into a project and
think outside the box, you will fit in well.
What are the application
deadlines and what should I send?
Milwaukee Magazine internships are competitive. Applicants
should provide:
- a cover letter explaining
why they want the internship and what they have to offer;
- a résumé with references;
- at least five clips of
published work that best demonstrate their potential for
magazine writing and reporting.
Questions and inquires should be
directed to
Caroline Goyette, Assistant Editor
(414-287-4316,
