What is a summer graphic designer?

Summer graphic designers are creative professionals hired on a temporary or seasonal basis, typically during the summer months, to assist with graphic design projects. They often work for companies, agencies, or organizations that experience an increased workload in the summer, such as event planning, marketing campaigns, or seasonal promotions. These designers use tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign to create visual content including flyers, social media graphics, and advertisements. Summer graphic designers may be students, recent graduates, or experienced designers seeking short-term opportunities to gain experience and build their portfolios.

What types of projects does a summer graphic designer work on, and how is work typically assigned during a short-term contract?

As a Summer Graphic Designer, you can expect to work on a variety of fast-paced projects, such as designing marketing materials, social media graphics, event promotions, and internal communications. Work is often assigned based on immediate business needs and campaign schedules, so you may collaborate closely with marketing teams, copywriters, and other designers. The pace is usually brisk due to tight timelines, and you'll likely juggle multiple projects at once, honing your ability to prioritize and manage deadlines. This exposure provides valuable experience in adapting to different brand styles and team dynamics, making it a great stepping stone for future roles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a summer graphic designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Summer Graphic Designer, you need a strong grasp of design principles, proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (especially Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign), and a relevant portfolio or coursework in graphic design. Familiarity with digital asset management systems and basic web design tools like Canva or Figma is often required. Creativity, time management, and collaboration skills help you meet deadlines and work effectively on team projects. These competencies ensure you can deliver visually appealing, on-brand materials within a fast-paced, seasonal work environment.

Motion Graphic Designer Intern

Rising Tide Interactive

Washington, DC • Hybrid

$17.95/hr

Full-time, Part-time, Internship

Re-posted 7 days ago

Job description

Rising Tide Interactive is currently accepting Motion Graphic Designer internship applications for our paid Summer/Fall 2026 Internship Program. Our interns will have the opportunity to join us in our work creating digital creative for Democratic campaigns, committees, PACs, and nonprofits to develop and implement the digital strategies that win races and create change. You'll get training, hands-on design opportunities, and mentorship to learn the ins and outs of digital graphic design and video production processes as well as tactics and creative management from a dedicated team of creatives.

What you'll do:

  • Create original graphic assets for cross team design and video projects
  • Assist Video Editors and create original :30 second, :15 second, and :6 second videos from start to finish
  • Produce additional sizes and versions of existing static designs and optimizing motion graphics for online platforms
  • Recommend visuals for RTI's digital videos by finding stock footage and imagery for a variety of projects
  • Watch, organize, and catalog video footage and files
  • Organize assets for the Creative Team, including managing physical video drives (shipping, retrieving, downloading, uploading)
  • Assist the Creative Team with other tasks that align with your skills and goals
  • This internship can be customized to your skills and goals - if you are more interested in the creative and technical aspects of video editing, we'll give you tasks that help you grow those skills, or if you are more interested in backend production process and project management, we'll pivot your tasks that way.

The important stuff:

  • Paid internship? Yep! We pay $17.95/hour
  • This internship is full-time (up to 35 hours/week)
  • Summer/fall internships typically run from May 25th to December 12th, but we're flexible with start/end dates. 
  • Location: Washington, DC -  this position will be based in our office in Washington, DC on a hybrid work schedule. Our typical schedule is two days a week in the office and three days remotely. Due to the nature of this role, more time in the office may be required on an as-needed basis to support management of physical video drives.
  • We will provide a laptop

Nuts & bolts:

  • Let us know if you're interested in part-time or full-time work (or both) and what your availability is for the semester.
  • Applications will be accepted until the end of the day on Friday, May 1st and must include a cover letter and resume. Final selection decisions will be communicated by Friday, May 15th.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Premiere and After Effects is required for this position.

About Rising Tide Interactive:

Rising Tide Interactive works with Democratic campaigns, committees, PACs, and nonprofits to develop and implement the digital strategies that win races and create change. Since 2011, we've worked with clients like Sens. Tim Kaine and Jacky Rosen, Voto Latino, FWD.us, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. We're ready for our best election cycle yet in 2026.

Excited about this role but not sure if you meet all of the qualifications? We encourage you to apply anyway. We're always looking for talented people of all backgrounds to join our team. We prioritize creating a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming environment where everyone is empowered to do their best work. Candidates from all backgrounds, including people of color, women, members of the LGBTQ community, and people with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply.
