Job Description

Making Policy Public is a program for organizers, advocates, and direct service providers to create a free project that breaks down a complex social justice issue, policy, or service into an easy to understand, visual explanation. Projects are created in collaboration with CUP staff, visual designers/illustrators, and selected organizations. CUP is looking for visual designers and illustrators that are: - motivated to use their skills to support the power and vision of organizers and advocates - interested in a creative process that is collaborative, interdisciplinary, and engages communities. - able to create non-typographic solutions such as illustration, drawing, collage, information design, or photography. - able to attend project meetings every 2-4 weeks and community sessions every 2-3 months. - based in the New York City metropolitan area. If the project team collectively decides to meet in person, we expect the designer to attend in-person meetings. We encourage everyone to apply, and prioritize applications from: - design teams (graphic designer and an illustrator). - designers who have lived experience with oppression— BIPOC designers, people with low-income, those impacted by the carceral system, identify as LGBTQIA+, disabled, or as immigrants, among others. - designers who haven’t collaborated with CUP before.
