Designers meet weekly with Design Directors to shape the visual identity of the magazine. Designers create original designs for Special Feature, Interview, and Table of Contents sections in addition to laying out standard articles. We are looking for motivated, committed designers who are prepared to dedicate at least 4 hours per week to this position.
Illustrators create imagery for BPR’s magazine and web content. For the magazine, illustrators sign up for one article each cycle based on pitches submitted by the writers. After signing up for an article, illustrators have approximately one week to create three or more thumbnail sketches for each of their illustration(s), which the Art Directors will look over and provide feedback on. After receiving feedback, illustrators have 1-2 more weeks to complete and submit their illustrations.We’re seeking both experienced illustrators AND those new to the world of editorial work. We’ll be looking largely at interest in communicating concepts rather than purely experience creating images.
The Data Designer is a position intended for students with graphic/digital design capabilities.
The Brown Political Review (BPR) consists of eight boards: Business, Copy Edit, Creative, Data, Editorial, Interviews, Multimedia, and Web. Together, these boards create and curate our print and online content. You can find descriptions of each board and contact information for each board’s director(s) here. Role descriptions are included for all open entry-level positions.
BPR is a student-run publication, and all positions are unpaid. However, we offer stipends for staffers who qualify for financial aid and meet minimum hourly commitments.
