Position Summary

Schema Magazine is seeking a talented and self-motivated graphic and/or web design intern to join our young, dynamic & diverse team of 1.5, 2nd and 3rd generation, interculturally-minded Canadians for a four-month period.

• Is detail-oriented
• Is able to creatively address problems and communicate visually while still keeping within the established Schema brand and style
• Can manage their time effectively and prioritize their workload
