The semester is almost over! With summer right around the corner, AIGA has resources to help you navigate finals, internships and interviews for your next big thing:

What you need to know about internships

Whether you’re heading off to a summer internship or just starting your search, it’s important to understand what’s expected of you, as well as the employer’s responsibilities to you. We recommend reading A Guide to Internships and The Cost of Free Labor before you head out the door to that sweet gig.

Don’t be a victim of copying

Copyright law provides protection to designers, but as on any trip to a new place, you’ll need to learn a few local customs and phrases to get the most out of it. Legal advisor and SVA professor Frank Martinez walks through the basics and gives practical advice for protecting your work. Read Frank’s advice.
