Design Intern – Sports License
Role Summary
As the world’s largest online retailer of high-quality personalized gifts, we pride ourselves on doing things a little differently. In this role, you will have the unique opportunity to assist the Art Design and Licensing departments to carry a sports licensing project through the phases of setting up production files, customer previews and creating web images. Your duties will be to incorporate personalization into existing artwork from a variety of sports licensors (NFL, MLB, Collegiate Sports, etc.), set up those files to be produced on in-house products (mugs, blankets, etc.), then use Photoshop to create accurate web images. This position will also be required to set up previews for these items using custom software and minor scripting (easily teachable!), which will allow customers to view an accurate depiction of their personalization on their item “live.”
During your time with PersonalizationMall.com (PMall) you will gain valuable insights and understanding regarding design and licensing within the organization which will advance your professional growth and development. PMall is a large organization but still provides that small business, hands on learning environment.
From May 31th until August 5th, you can expect to work 40 hours a week at our Burr Ridge, IL office. This is a paid internship with a pay rate of $17 an hour.
