Anything that you invent, develop, create or make as part of your internship is the intellectual property of Psychoactive Studios. You’ll be credited as being the primary contributor to the project and you can use it on your own portfolio.
Once you’ve developed your website we’ll host it on Psychoactive’s account.
Hiring after the internship is not guaranteed and is based on your performance, cultural fit, ability to catch flies, and Psychoactive’s availability.
Our client’s success starts with your own. Here are just some of the things you’ll get from working with us.
The 3 month internship will take you through Psychoactive’s entire production process from project pitch, strategy, design, development, and deployment.
All of our internships are run with a similar structure, but with a specific focus on the area of expertise that you want to grow your weird little limbs into. For example, a production internship may be focused on written communication, design on UI and UX, and development on complex Webflow and WebGL integrations.
Throughout the internship you’ll document your project process through Slack. This will prepare you with the necessary literacy skills to effectively communicate with both internal and external project stakeholders.
All good web projects are built from strong strategic and brand foundations. You’ll start your internship with discovery sessions, obtaining the information required to produce a brand strategy, brand guidelines, brand collateral, brand logo, website wireframes and even your own website content.
Moving into the design phase, you’ll begin transforming your brand & web strategy into beautiful, highly considered web designs. Colours, imagery, and graphical elements are used to bring your project to life. As a design, experience and interaction focused agency, we’ll expect you to have a keen eye for detail.
Although our studio specialises in both Webflow and custom code development, most interns will develop using Webflow, helping to reinforce HTML, CSS, and Javascript principles. Within Webflow there are endless possibilities to explore animation and interactions.
Whatever position you're applying for, a portfolio of your work will help greatly. Best designs are shown, not told.If you think you have something to contribute to our studio, we encourage you to get in touch with us. Our search for new team members is about finding the right fit, not a paper perfect candidate.
Have you read through the internship position details, are confident that you meet the prerequisites outlined on the careers page, and have a portfolio that you’re ready to share with us? We’d love to have you join our amphibious family!
