We are looking for a qualified intern to join the Global Creative Services team this summer. Our interns help develop consumer products style guides and content for Marvel branded franchises.

It is a chance to gain real-world design experience with an elite group of professionals on a globally recognized brand. There are few better places for a graphic design student spend their internship.

Responsibilities

Our interns work alongside our designers and are given as much responsibility as they show they can handle. They will be asked to help develop and rework designs, prepare files, retouch art, create functional icons, design custom badges, patterns and borders, and help produce branding, packaging and retail signage. They will also apply designs to images of retail products. We try to assign projects geared toward an intern’s strengths that also help to develop and add new skills they will need to build a successful career in graphic design.
