About the internship
Selected intern's day-to-day responsibilites include:
1. Support illustration work for product designs by creating sketch options, motifs, icons, and supporting elements that can be used on apparel, packaging, inserts, and collectible add-ons.
2. Assist in turning moodboards into visual exploration by producing multiple quick drafts, trying variations in line style, texture, and composition, and sharing work early to get direction faster.
3. Help clean up and finalize selected illustrations by refining shapes, improving readability, and preparing neat layered files so handoffs to design and production stay smooth and accurate.
4. Learn production-minded execution by applying basic constraints like limited colors, clear outlines, and scalable forms, ensuring the artwork still looks strong when printed at real size.
5. Create small illustration packs for campaigns and socials, including accent graphics, frames, stickers, and highlights that help the launch visuals feel cohesive with the product story.
6. Maintain an organized working process by naming files, keeping versions, exporting correctly, and documenting what is in each folder, so collaboration stays low friction for the whole team.
7. Research references weekly and share findings with the team, then practice translating those influences into original outputs that match the drop theme without copying.
8. Support last-mile checks before release by verifying sizes, contrast, legibility, and export formats, helping reduce production issues and improving overall drop readiness.
9. Contribute to a positive studio rhythm by communicating timelines early, asking for clarity when stuck, and staying consistent with output so the team can rely on you during busy weeks.
