What the internship involves
Media24 will place you in its Cape Town Foreshore office. You will work on magazine spreads, social media graphics, email layouts, website assets and digital campaigns for Woolworths TASTE. An experienced Senior Multimedia Designer will mentor you throughout the year.
Who can apply
You need to be studying or have recently finished a qualification in Graphic Design or a related field. Professional experience is not required, but you must have:
- Basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign
- A portfolio that shows your design ability and creativity
- Strong attention to detail and good organisational skills
- Effective time‑management and a positive attitude
The role is full‑time and on‑site. No stipend or salary amount is listed in the advertisement.
What you will gain
- Hands‑on experience with both print and digital production
- Understanding of how a creative brief becomes finished artwork
- Practice preparing files for print and for online platforms
- Mentorship from a senior designer and access to Media24’s online learning tools
- Material to strengthen your portfolio with real‑world projects
How to apply (step‑by‑step)
- Update your résumé to include your education, Adobe skills and any freelance or project work.
- Assemble a digital portfolio (PDF or website) that showcases your best pieces – magazine layouts, branding, social media graphics, etc.
- Gather your university transcripts or proof of qualification, if you have them.
- Visit the official application portal: Media24 online application.
- Create an account, fill in your personal details, and upload your CV, portfolio link and transcripts.
- Review all information, especially your contact details and portfolio accessibility, then submit before 14 August 2026.
Tips to improve your chances
- Show a variety of work but keep the portfolio short (5‑7 polished projects).
- Label each piece with the tools used (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and your role.
- Proof‑read your résumé; errors can create a negative first impression.
- Make sure your portfolio links open without a password or broken pages.
- Highlight any teamwork, deadlines met or feedback you incorporated – this shows readiness for a collaborative environment.
- Be honest about your Adobe proficiency; you’ll be assessed on what you actually can do.
Next steps
Prepare your documents early and submit well before the deadline. Even if you feel unsure about experience, the internship is designed for beginners who are eager to learn. Good luck, and take this chance to turn your design studies into a professional career.
