Anthony Zinni of Positive Space Blog has created a site, Creative Interships, that serves as an alternative to the design contests and the no-spec work they represent. Basically it’s a way for students and new “creatives” to get their foot in the door without having to resort to spec work.
The design is appealing also. Check out how the navigation copy creates a diagonal that mirrors the site’s background graphics, very cool.
Commentary
Thanks for the link! I have been a fan of your site for some time now, and the article about how to use the new version of sIFR really got me out of a jam.
Hopefully Creative Internships will gain some popularity so it may actually achieves becoming an alternative to contests.
No problem, and thanks! Glad the sIFR article helped too.
It seems like it’s off to a good start, having the Chicago Tribune on board definitely means something!
