The VACorps Internship Program in Cape Town, South Africa Graphic Design Internships
Graphic Design Internship
Position: Graphic Design / Advertising
Number of Positions: 1Gone are the days when landing a design internship in Cape Town would mean a few weeks of making coffee and assembling mock-ups. Graphic design internships in South Africa are becoming more exciting and sought after by the day. Design agencies throughout the country are experiencing unprecedented workloads and this mean that all able hands are required on deck – which includes the intern.
Cape Town is without a doubt the advertising- and design hub of Southern Africa. Some of the Mother City’s top agencies include:
• Ogilvy: A strategic branding agency, the Ogilvy team is driven by ideas and strives to infuse the brands under their care with “the logic of magic”.
• BBDO: BBDO is a through-the-line advertising agency that is accomplished in all mediums including print, radio, outdoor, digital and in activation.
• Hippocampus: The team at Hippocampus believes in creating strong brands by harnessing their “unconventional thinking in the areas of strategic planning, market research, media placement and creative execution”.
These are just a few of the fantastic creative establishments that lie scattered throughout the city. A graphic designer internship at any one of these agencies is bound to provide any fledgling designer with invaluable experience and the means to launch an incredible career in their home country.
But interning is not just about getting ahead; it’s about experiencing your career of choice is a new environment and there is no place more exciting to be right now than sunny South Africa. Trend watchers are predicting the following shifts in South Africa’s collective creative outlook:
• Creating uniquely South African brands: Up until recently South Africa, like many other developing countries, were merely emulating American and European branding and design strategies. The more we participate in the global arena, however, the more we strive to promote our own sense of visual expression.
• Embracing the digital revolution: Websites are no longer seen as static branding tools. You can now employ everything from SEO to PPC to beef up your conversion rate and designers are being called upon to create unique user experiences. Add to this the ‘new’ mediums of SMS and email and you can see why people are getting incredibly excited down here.
• Building comprehensive creative teams: Old school or not, it seems the concept of the ‘creative studio’ is back in the game. Multi-disciplinary groups can offer clients the combined strength of writers, designers, strategists, architects, film-makers, web coders – you name it. Post-modern to the core, this notion is becoming more and more popular and will make for incredibly diverse designing internships.
These are just some of the exciting things going down here at the Southern tip of Africa. Would you like to be part of the South African design revolution? Enquire today. Here at VA Corps we believe in aligning each potential intern with the company that can best utilise, and extend, his/her existing skill set. Let us know exactly what your requirements are and we will do our best to hook you up with the graphic design internship of your dreams.Remember This Internship!internships
