CMS also provides referencing and library services to the staff of all United Nations entities in Vienna. Objective: To provide work experience in the field of graphic design and electronic publishing in the environment of an international organization. Internship Activities: - Assist with the graphic design, page layout and photograph selection for cover designs and brochures. As far as possible, the photographs will be from current design production projects. The intern's work will be used after due assessment by the graphic artist or chief of the unit. - Assist in publishing production workflow and desktop publishing (DTP) production.
