We still want you to email us your resume, but we also want to hear your voice, see your creativity, and, most importantly, we want to know what inspires you. Send us a sample of some previous work, or take the internship for a test drive, and run with any of the tasks listed above. Any and all creative demonstrations are welcome, including, but not limited to:
