Design Internship - Morningstar




Design Intern
U.S.A.



The Team: At Morningstar, we believe design enhances a company`s image, products, and bottom line. Effective design is a core strength at Morningstar, because putting investors needs first means delivering financial information in a form that they can understand and use. Designers at Morningstar specialize in making complex financial information easy to understand through the use of meticulous typography, grid systems, best practices in usability, and intelligent visualizations of data.
The Role: Design Interns will work closely with staff designers, product managers, copywriters, programmers, website builders, and other internal groups to develop design solutions for print and web communications. Our designers are involved in all stages of the development process, from product and marketing strategy to conceptualization, design, and production. Morningstar Design Internships are available for local students on a year-round basis (20-25 hours per week during the school year) and/or during the summer months (40 hours per week). These paid positions are based in our Chicago office.
Requirements
+ Demonstrated enthusiasm for website design, electronic media, information architecture, and interface design.
+ Excellent typography skills as well as strong communication, presentation, and technology skills.
+ Basic knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
+ Adobe Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Flash knowledge is a plus, as is JavaScript and HTML experience.
+ Applicants must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree program throughout the internship, preferably one with an emphasis on design.
