Graphic Design Intern — Events & Brand Experiences

About Showmaker

Showmaker designs and delivers corporate offsites, team-building experiences, AI-powered engagement programs and curated corporate experiences for modern organisations across India and international destinations. Our focus is on creating experiences that people actively participate in—not just events they attend.

We’re looking for a Graphic Design Intern who wants to work where design meets live events.

This isn’t a role where you’ll spend your entire internship making Instagram posts.

You’ll work on the actual visual language of corporate events—stage backdrops, event branding, signage, activity graphics, proposals, presentations and production artwork.

This internship sits in Creative & Experience. It is remote, Monday–Friday, 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM IST.

What You’ll Do

Event & Experience Design

You’ll help design visual assets for real corporate events, including:

• Stage backdrops
• Standee designs
• Welcome boards
• Directional signage
• Registration desk branding
• Activity branding
• Certificates
• Name cards
• Event collaterals
• Team/activity materials
• Venue branding

Digital Design

You’ll also work on:

• Social media creatives
• Proposal visuals
• Client presentation decks
• Campaign creatives
• Event announcements
• Website graphics
• Digital marketing assets

Production-Ready Artwork

This is an important part of the role.

You’ll learn how designs actually move from screen → printer → venue.

You’ll work with:

• Large-format artwork
• Print-ready PDFs
• Vector artwork
• CMYK artwork
• Bleed & safe margins
• Correct dimensions and scaling
• Font outlining
• Vendor-ready files
• Artwork revisions

You’ll also work with our production team and vendors to understand how creative concepts become physical event installations.

What We’re Looking For

Must Have

• Good understanding of graphic design fundamentals
• Strong sense of typography, layout and visual hierarchy
• Comfortable with Adobe Illustrator
• Comfortable with Adobe Photoshop
• Ability to follow a creative brief
• Attention to detail
• Willingness to learn
• Ability to take feedback and iterate quickly

Good to Have

• CorelDRAW
• Canva
• Figma
• Basic motion/video editing
• Understanding of print production
• Previous event/design experience

You don’t need to know everything.

We’re more interested in your design thinking, visual taste, curiosity and ability to learn quickly.

Your First Practical Challenge

As part of our hiring process, shortlisted candidates may receive a realistic Showmaker event-design brief.

For example:

Design a 12 × 7 ft corporate stage backdrop for an offsite in Coorg.

You may be asked to develop 2–3 different creative directions based on the brief.

We’ll evaluate:

• Visual hierarchy
• Typography
• Creativity
• Brand understanding
• Composition
• Attention to detail
• Ability to interpret a brief
• Production awareness

We care more about how you think than how many software tools you can list on your resume.

Who Will Enjoy This Role?

This role is for someone who thinks:

“I don’t just want to design graphics. I want to see my designs come alive.”

You’ll probably enjoy this internship if you:

• Love visual design
• Get excited about events
• Notice typography and branding everywhere
• Like experimenting with ideas
• Want to work on real client projects
• Can handle fast-moving environments
• Don’t mind revising your work
• Want to understand what happens behind the scenes of an event

What We Don’t Want

We’re probably not the right place for you if:

• You only want to make social media posts
• You don’t like feedback
• You aren’t comfortable with deadlines
• You want everything to be perfectly defined before starting
• You don’t want to learn about event production
• You care more about software knowledge than design quality

At Showmaker, things move fast.

High-energy people who can handle chaos will do well here.

What You’ll Learn

This internship will expose you to much more than graphic design.

You’ll learn how to:

• Design for real-world events
• Work with corporate brands
• Convert a brief into a visual concept
• Design for large physical spaces
• Prepare production-ready artwork
• Work with printers and fabrication vendors
• Handle client feedback
• Work within deadlines
• Understand event production
• Build visual systems and templates
• Work alongside event producers and creative teams

Your Growth at Showmaker

This isn’t designed as a “make some designs and finish your internship” role.

You could grow from:

1. Graphic Design Intern
2. Event Graphic Designer
3. Senior Event Graphic Designer
4. Creative / Art Lead
5. Head of Event Creative

As Showmaker grows, you’ll have the opportunity to help build our internal Event Design capability and visual asset library.

Why Join Showmaker?

You’ll get to work on real corporate events and experiences, not hypothetical college assignments.

You’ll see your work move from:

Brief → Concept → Design → Client → Production → Live Event

And you’ll work alongside teams building corporate experiences, AI-powered experiences and large-scale offsites.

The Showmaker mindset

Create boldly. Learn quickly. Take ownership.

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just ask:

“What should I design?”

but asks:

“What experience are we trying to create—and how can design make it better?”
