Internship at The Health Journal

A publishing company/advertising agency based in Williamsburg is offering an internship opportunity this fall and spring for a student majoring in graphic design. Their core product is the monthly magazine The Health Journal but they also offer a variety of creative services outside of the paper. Some knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite is required, so the position would be ideal for a junior or senior.

Two talented full-time graphic designers will serve as mentors—one is an ODU graphic design program graduate. The student will gain valuable hands-on experience with magazine layout, ad design, creation of a bi-annual newsletter for a large hospital system (in early to mid September) and much more. The hours would depend on the student's schedule and whether he/she can earn class credit. Offices are about a 45-minute drive from ODU, so a gas stipend is available to help with the cost of travel.
