Do poorly designed restaurant menus bother you?Do you like communicating with pictures?Are you a book lover?Do you judge books by their cover?
Do you ever wonder how those book covers that catch your eye were created?
Then come work with the Design Team at Tyndale House Publishers as our 2025 Design intern. You'll get an insider view of the publishing process and see how books are created by working with the design, acquisitions, marketing, typesetting, and production teams that help develop our books.
You'll try your hand at designing book covers and the marketing pieces that help sell those books. You'll meet with various art directors, designers, and production artists to learn what makes the creatives on our 20-person team tick.
You'll even get a chance to present your portfolio to our art directors and receive feedback that will prepare you to find a job when you graduate.
And you'll do all of this in a Christian environment where we pray, encourage, and support one another every day.
The people that you meet, the work we give you, the portfolio feedback, and the collaborative team environment in this internship will all be geared toward helping you grow and develop in your design skills and as a person.
If any of this has piqued your interest, we'd love to hear from you.
