Part Time Paid Internship
Description
Method's Vancouver studio offers internships providing hands-on experience in key departments. For the summer 2018 term we're looking for someone who is passionate about interface design and usability to join our Software Development/Pipeline team as a UI/UX Intern. This flexible 10-12 week paid internship is a great opportunity to get hands-on experience at a top VFX studio, and a chance to learn from our talented crew of artists and software developers.
The UI/UX Intern will work to create the best experience for Production artists so that they can focus on creativity, not tools. You'll actively follow the technology scene to keep abreast of design trends and work together with the Pipeline development team and artists to ensure our UIs are engaging, consistent, and fully-featured. The role requires a broad knowledge of web UI/UX design as well as software development.
You may work on code, tools and/or user interfaces, and you'll be mentored by, and work alongside, developers and UI/UX specialists, learn the inner workings of a VFX pipeline and VFX production, and get experience that can help you launch into a VFX/Software Development career – including consideration for full time roles at Method Studios.
At the close of the internship you'll have the opportunity to present your contributions to the studio's senior technology management, including pitching any ideas that you may have, and get the team's feedback. You will also meet one-on-one with the Head of Software and Recruitment Manager to discuss career opportunities.
Responsibilities
• Communicate with Pipeline leads and Production stakeholders to gather requirements and discuss design and functionality.
• Create UI mockups, prototypes and storyboards to communicate design ideas.
• Produce high-quality UIs and visually appealing designs from concept to execution.

• Actively contribute to code quality, update, maintain and test UI application code.
