The RSA Student Design Awards team is now looking for an intern to work with us for the next seven months to provide general support to the team across events, admin and communications. The intern will help with many aspects of the team’s work including assisting with running the competition judging sessions, publicising winners and helping to plan the awards ceremony as well as creating graphics and preparing content for the launch of our 2018/19 briefs. The ideal applicant will have an interest in design education, design for social good, and empowering the next generation of designers. This opportunity would most suit someone who is keen to get stuck in assisting with the management of a fast-paced design competition and curriculum. We’re looking for someone who has strong Creative Suite skills and can assist us in developing communications materials, but who is happy to spend a considerable amount of time organizing logistics, coordinating events, and undertaking a variety of other administrative and practical programme delivery tasks.)

A Graphic designer is needed for a paid opportunity designing a visual identity and printed material for an upcoming cultural event exploring technology, finance and art.

MoneyLab is a programme of critical research exploring the connections between contemporary art, financial activism and digital culture. Previously organised by the Amsterdam-based Institute of Networked Cultures, this fourth edition of MoneyLab brings together artists, designers and researchers investigating and imagining the critical potential after money. Panels, talks, screenings and workshops will inspect the borderlands between critical art-making, decentralised financial technologies, collective organisation, and civil disobedience. Sessions will explore data monetization, digital labour unions, artist run tax-havens, co-operative crypto-currencies and decentralised technology as an open source distribution model.

MoneyLab requires a designer to come up with a visual identity for a day long conference on finance, art and technology. The event will take place at Somerset House in London on 20th January 2018. We are interested in receiving portfolios from designers who have an interest in some of these topics and themes and have some ideas for turning some of moneyLab’s themes into visual content.

A brief summary of the project brief involve:

• Creating an original visual identity / logo for the event
• Design header for website in 4 sizes
• Design printed program booklet
• Conference badges

Please see visual design of previous events for reference and inspiration:

Brandon Trust is a charity providing care and support for people with learning disabilities and autism. We operate across the South of England, the Midlands and London with the aim of enabling people with learning disabilities to ‘live free’ and live the lives they wish. We provide high quality services, with over 90% being rated as either ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by the care regulator, the Care Quality Commission. However, Like many organisations in our sector, we are currently operating in a very challenging environment. This has mainly been brought about by the crisis in social care funding which you are likely to have heard about in the news.

The Transformation Programme

To ensure that we weather the storm of this crisis, we have just established a major transformation project which will use innovation and design to improve care and support to our customers, the experience of staff and the financial sustainability of the organisation. The programme will be user-led and ‘people-centred and will deliver tangible improvements to the way that we work. Staff from throughout the organisation will be involved in taking forward all projects that are part of the programme. However, the overall aim is to encourage staff to innovate and design solutions to their everyday problems and barriers. Generating a new culture of innovation, improvement and design is a key objective of the transformation programme.

Why we’re looking for a design intern

Ensuring staff are engaged with the programme will be key to its success. We have a very diverse staff population and need to package up information and updates on the programme in a visual way that is easy for everyone to understand. We also want communications to reflect the culture that we are working to achieve and bring energy to the programme. For this reason, we are seeking a design intern who will help us achieve this, bringing fresh thinking and helping us make information easy to digest and understand.

What we can offer you

In return we can offer a fresh, bright brand with flexibility of use. We’re not constrained by high levels of corporate guidelines and this would be an opportunity to begin to shape an internal brand that reflects the culture that we’d like to adopt. We have an experienced communications and marketing team who will provide input and guidance, and give you some great experience of working in the third sector. We’d like to hope that the work you do for us would be a strong portfolio piece, demonstrating to future employers that you have been at the centre of a major change management and employee engagement programme.

The practicalities

At this stage, we’re looking for an intern one day a week (7.5 hours) for six months, starting in October. The post will be paid at National Minimum Wage (18-20 yrs old – £5.60 per hour / 21-24 yrs old £7.05 per hour). There is a possibility we may extend the internship depending on the project’s progress. There may also be the possibility of other paid project work during the six month period.
