THUMBING through one portfolio after another can be a frustrating day’s work for Melissa Morgan, admissions counselor at the Tyler School of Art of Temple University in Philadelphia. “I see so much anime and Pokémon and Grand Theft Auto,” she says. “I see one drawing done 20 times.”

Curious about designing for the book business? Would you like to see your work appear in publications like The New York Review of Books and The Chronicle Review? Would you like to see it circulate among an audience of over 3.5 million people--including representatives of some of the biggest media in America, publishers, booksellers, and individuals from coast to coast?

The University Press of Florida is pleased to announce the establishment of a design internship for the Spring 2009 semester. The intern will be based in our marketing department, and will have a chance to work on trade ad, flyer and catalog design. He/She will work closely with and be supervised by the Advertising and Direct Mail Manager, and will have the chance to work with the press's two full-time designers (who have over 40 years combined experience in art and graphic design at publishing houses).

An ICOGRADA PROJECT

Through its community-centred conservation efforts, the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) has empowered local communities with the tools needed to manage their natural resources for long-term economic gain and environmental prosperity.

JGI's snare intervention program not only supports snare removal teams, but also educates the local communities on creative economic alternatives. Currently, JGI is working with a group of local Ugandan women. Using recycled paper from magazines left in local hotels by tourists, the women make paper bead necklaces. Through innovative re-design, this program allows Ugandans to earn a higher income than they would with unsustainable practices.

JGI believes that sustainability begins with the collaboration of true stakeholders in the commercial bushmeat trade-hunters and especially woman market buyers and sellers. JGI's micro credit programs, in cooperation with local government and industries, present economic alternatives to those who formerly supported their families through poaching and market sale activities.
