You
- Have a mind for conceptual thinking and are in school to
receive a BFA or equivalent in graphic design

- Have a solid grasp of the standard design apps (Illustrator,
Photoshop and InDesign. Flash and Dreamweaver are a
definite plus.)

- Want real-world experience in a fast-paced, growing studio
environment

We
- Are Punchcut (http://www.punchcut.com), a growing design
studio with an emphasis on branding and interface design. We
have an expanding list of highly creative clients in the type,
entertainment, travel and technology industries. (Clients include
FontShop, DVDPlay, fStop and the Hoefler Type Foundry.)

- Maintain Typophile (http://www.typophile.com) - the online
design community for people who like fonts more than they
should

- Are highly motivated and hard-working with a strong
hankering for Thai food


The internship will involve
- Helping with pitches, all aspects of design projects and
miscellaneous internal projects

- Basic Typophile maintainance and support

- Helping prepare for Typophile's involvement in TypeCon2004,
to be held in San Francisco (including admission into TypeCon

Is an "Intern" what we in the UK would call a "Junior Designer", but without the salary?

Joseph these days you'd have to explain what an X-ato knife is, and which end to hold.

Joe --

You said rubylith (Beavis Voice) Huh, huh, thats cool. :-)

Man that bring back memories, rbuylith that is, not beavis. :-)

I've re-sent my materials to the address posted above. Hopefully this attempt will be successful.

And just to put everyone's mind at ease, x-acto skills are still an integral part of design education these days. And they even taught us a little about this "rubylith" stuff you speak of... in design history :-)

But best of all would be watching Beavis doing rubylith.

Yeah, our own private little Typophile slave! At last!

David we have those in Belgium too, but I think it's
limited to one month.

Actually that can't be, because I worked at FontShop
for most of my last year at the academy, two days a
week. And my stint at Digital Arts lasted for at least
half a year.

If I didn't have a family to provide for I'd be on
the plane right now. :-)

David, some internships are paid, depending on experience / portfolio. (Unless of course you're in such demand that interns are beating your door down. We're not quite there yet.)

Zara, 6 to 12 weeks. Or as long as the intern can stand it.

Angela, we didn't receive your letter / email. If you sent it by post, we'll give it a few more days. If you sent it by email please send it again. If you don't get a prompt reply then we still haven't gotten it.

Daniel, any design student that isn't getting those skills better ask for a refund. It's no longer about designing with rubylith and paste-up but it's all about presentation skills - mounting and comping.

Joe Pemberton's picture

Heh. It's okay if Beevis has a fond place in your heart too.
(I'd rather watch Beevis than use rubylith anyway.)

We've confirmed that our "intern" email was misconfigured. If
you sent an email to intern@punchcut.com, please send it again.
