About us: Canadian Herstory is a multi-faceted empowerment platform that focuses on sharing the stories of women in Canadian history to spread awareness of gender inequality and inspire future generations. We originally began by creating short educational videos about women in Canadian history as a method to inspire a younger age during a time of heightened social media use and reduced classroom time. Today, we are creating an online Canadian women's encyclopedia to offer a place for cohesive further education. We felt the videos limited our ability to educate and would prefer to keep them going as a tool to create interest in Canadian women's history while offering a starting place for further research. While Canadian encyclopedias exist, we feel many lack gender and racial inclusivity. Canadian Herstory is building a website with an online encyclopedia to fill that gap and offer further information easily understood by a younger generation.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
Your Role: As we are creating the online encyclopedia, we seek a graphic designer to join our team of volunteers. Your primary role will be designing illustrations to go along with our entries for the encyclopedia. We are looking for someone who will primarily create 1-2 headshots a week and export them in a JPEG and PNG file to be used for the online encyclopedia. Other tasks may include small art for the website as it is under construction. As we aim for a young prime audience for this website, we hope it would have a relatively in-trend style that would fit well with the illustrations of Canadian women we already have from our last graphic designer.
Expectations: We are looking for someone familiar with adobe illustrator who can work independently in creating portrait illustrations to feature an online encyclopedia. This internship will be completely remote and requires creating and following a schedule at your own pace.
