Remote Summer Internship - Graphic Design | Bibles, Books, Bulletins

Overview The Lifeway Internship Program is a unique opportunity designed to provide college students and recent graduates with a valuable learning experience that fosters growth both professionally, personally, and spiritually. Our internships go far beyond "busy work"—you’ll engage in meaningful projects, gain hands-on experience, and be empowered to make an impact. Interns at Lifeway receive professional development, have opportunities for exposure to senior leaders, and benefit from mentoring relationships with experts in their chosen field. Job Overview B&H Publishing's award-winning in-house creative services team is seeking a graphic design intern to gain real project experience in publication and product design for books, Bibles, and bulletins. A summer internship with our team includes exposure to all aspects of publication design—from the initial creative brief through the printed book or Bible. This may include cover ideation and brainstorming, spine and back cover design and production (preparing files for print), creation of interior design templates (to guide the typesetter), and gaining knowledge about special printing processes like foil stamping and spot varnish. Previous interns have had printed books which they helped to create. This challenging, fun, and occasionally tedious (yet amazing) creative team opportunity requires a balance of creativity and precision, where wild, out-of-the-box ideas are encouraged and meticulous printer template adherence is required. We encourage, train, and equip our interns to soar!
