Platinum Studios>Interns Needed
It's the experience though HP, plus the inside knowledge you'd gain, not to mention doing some networking and stuff! that's worth a bit of $$ in of itself :)
Plus, it's only a few days so you've got enough time to earn money from a normal drab paying job of some sort… or study etc..
This would be such a great opportunity, but living so far from either location and having a full-time job to pay for a 10 month old and wife and house, relocating doesn't seem like an option. But the funny thing is the 10 month old is more than qualified for the position and has been trained in all programs and her work ethic is phenominal!!! Is there any age restrictions, because she can take the daily commuter flight?
You know, if this were offered as a summer thing, I'd totally be up to it. Been working with Photoshop for, oh, about 7 years now. Excellent? I suppose so. I also have a good deal of design experience. Of COURSE i love webcomics and im fairly organized. Unfortunately, I'm in school as of now (IST major - HTML experience woo!), so no dice for me. =/
I do have a question, though. What do you mean by 'technical understanding of DD'?
Here's the irony in this. I live in LA and I'd really love to try out for an internship. Hell, I even know where Studios are located (…past the 405, I think.) I'm good with Photoshop, I'm somewhat obsessive in organization. I have a familiarity with HTML and web page design and layout as well as a technical understanding of DrunkDuck.com and just love webcomics. The irony? I'm much to shy to actually try it. DX
Damn! Old timer like me I have zero to no skills on PS. Just enough to get myself in trouble..or out. But what a helluva chance to work with a good group of people..the amount of knowledge you'd pick up would be worth every minute…what if I offer up my two kids as slave labor and donate all my organs to Platinum?

No God Damn It. DO IT. Shyness is a defense mechanism! The only way to overcome it is through experience! Besides, Platinum is all adults. They're not friggin high schoolers for gods sakes.
Also if you ARE still in high school just think how good that'll look on a college transcript!
Terminal> WHAT?! too shy? Whatever. We are the dorkiest most un intimidating people on the planet. Well except Dylan, he'd prolly take your hamster and hermetically seal it in a water bottle and laugh at you while you cry about your poor sad trapped little hamster. he's mean like that ;)
When I say excellent photoshop skills I don't mean you have to know EVERYTHING. We just need people who are good at altering images and creating art.
Technical understanding of Drunk Duck? I mean that you understand that DD is a web comics hosting community, and you can figure out how to use it. Meaning if you're here, you meet that requirement (unless your mom like has to log you on and upload your stuff)
DON'T BE SHY! SEND US YOUR RESUME! really guys there's nothing to loose, and as long as you meet the basics we are willing to work with you. This IS a learning experience.
Hi Carly,
I'm just inquiring a few things about this internship since I live three miles away from the studio.
How many internship positions are available?
What is the general range of hours you expect people to work?
Is it only Monday-Friday or is also open on the weekends?
What level of HTML experience are you looking for in prospective candidates?
Thank you,
Claire

Currently there are two internships available
The days and hours are up to you, we can work with what your schedule will allow
We are not open on weekends (you crazy girl?) ^_^
Basic HTML is okay. If you can alter a template here on DD that's good enough.
Additional questions?
