Creative Internships in Melbourne & Sydney with ABI

ArtBound Initiative helped me gained insights, experience, and connections in three months, something that I never thought I would get before joining the ABI program. I found the coaching to be very valuable, and it helped me prepare myself with anything that I need to know before the internship, in which I receive helpful tips and tricks. ABI also helped me with my visa requirements and are very quick and resourceful in the process. I would definitely recommend the program for creatives who want to gain experience in the industry!

Artbound opened the door to my industry for me through this internship program. I felt confident through their online training, and I learned more than I possibly could have during my university course.

I got to do two separate internships over the summer in different studios, which broadened my experience and provided a tonne of fun challenges. It turned my first steps into the industry from something incredibly intimidating to something I could actually enjoy. All the staff I interacted with at Artbound were also incredibly friendly. Overall, great experience.

My Internship at persuaders In Wynyard Sydney was quite unique from the others I took on beforehand, they focused initially on pulling design out of the box and finding new ways to enhance its appeal to persuade our clients. The main tasks I was given were storyboarding according to written information and illustrating animatic frames to assist.

Being a creative agency that focused on strategic and ideal methods to help clients successfully meet their mark, I was educated in just how vital art is to balance out the information, in order to reach out to current clients and new ones.

I was able to feel, in place with my co-workers and other intern when it came to the work process and I caught up rather quick once my tasks were given. I was excited to meeting the other members and their journeys whenever possible. It was hands on and fun overall.

To be under a head designer ideally differentiates my experience of being a freelancer designer intern and widens my expertise upon how I can make my own process productive and efficient for any future job experience. Examples include scheduled timing, perspective simple designs and notable characterisation.

Compared to other internships I have taken, interning at Persuaders assisted in developing my confidence within the work field, asking for questions and taking on further tasks whenever I had a free section to fill. Following the head designer’s example, allowed me to focus on heightening my strengths and being aware of the weakness’s holding me back as a designer. Thus, settling on what brought out my best as a designer.

Artbound initiatives coaching and tips for matching criteria and resume discussion really assisted in visualising where I stand. They were clear about what I would be the most suitable and passionate for doing as a career and provided reassurance there was no need to tackle everything headfirst. It pulled me through to realising the job I wanted to aim for and the goals it took to succeed there.
