About me

Hi!

My name is Alexander Klement and I would like to apply for the position of Designer at your studio.

I graduated in 2010 from Middlesex University with a 2:1 in Graphic Design, during my time at university I developed my print portfolio as well as learning new techniques in print and skills in motion and 3D graphics. After graduating I wanted to take a break before looking for work and as a result I have spent some time overseas; five months working in the French Alps as a resort rep, then three months in Italy, France and Holland. Now I am back in England working on my portfolio and looking for a graphic design placement. My software knowledge of the Adobe creative suites is extensive with my best knowledge falling into InDesign and Photoshop, I also have knowledge of HTML, CSS and know how to use web design software such as Dreamweaver and Fireworks to build a website. I have spent two weeks at the Sunday Times Magazine where I was laying out page spreads for a newspaper called Culture International and getting them print ready, I then helped proof them with the rest of the team, since then they have called me back for another two, two week placements. Precedent is the latest studio I have internship at and I was heavily involved in designing print material for the University of Hertfordshire and also the re-design of Precedents own website, working for Precedent was great fun and provided a huge chunk of myself development as they involved me in client meetings and allowed me to discuss projects with the team. I am currently working part time for AJK Drawing Services and PC World, at AJK I am currently drawing up building plans and elevations in AutoCAD but its not what I want to be doing in the long term. I think I have the skills and attitude required to become a beneficial member of your design team and would like to develop myself professionally with you, I would love to hear back from you if you think I'm suitable for your position.

Thank you,

Alexander.
