About the role
Ladderback is a graphic design studio of eighteen people on Clerkenwell Green. We design books, identities, exhibition graphics and websites for museums, publishers and a few very nice independent shops.
Our three-month internship is paid at £2,300 a month and is a real job, not a coffee run. You will work on live client projects with a named mentor, sit in on client meetings, and see your work go to print.
Every Friday afternoon is reserved for your own portfolio, with a crit from someone in the studio at the end of the month. At the end of the three months you will leave with finished, credited work and an honest reference.
We run two internships a year. Graduates, career-changers and self-taught designers are all welcome to apply.

- Work on live projects with a named mentor
- Prepare artwork and print files
- Join client meetings and studio crits
- Build your own portfolio project on Friday afternoons
What we’re looking for
- A portfolio of 5-8 projects (student or personal work is fine)
- Basic InDesign and Illustrator
- A love of type and layout
- Available for 3 months from the start date
Benefits

- Friday afternoons for your own portfolio

Interview process
