SPD's Student Outreach (also know as SPD-U) is here to help students learn more about publication design so that... 1) You can improve your own design skills and student publications. 2) You can learn more about the careers in editorial design to see if they're a good fit with your interests and talents. And 3) To help you get internships and entry-level jobs in the field.
Mission: The Society of Publication Designers is dedicated to promoting and encouraging excellence in editorial design. Our members are art directors, designers, photo editors, editors and graphics professionals. Since drafting its charter in 1965, the SPD remains the only organization specifically addressing the visual concerns of print and online editorial professionals. Editorial design plays a crucial role in shaping and documenting our common history; the efforts of the Society and its members also serve to educate and enlighten the public about the importance of magazines and online publications.
