About me

Dear Sir/Madam

In response to the advertised position of Creative Designer, please consider my CV for this position.

I am a designer that has just finished my final year studying Illustration/Design, at Portsmouth University and gained a 2:1 BA (HONS). Although studying in Portsmouth I am from Hertfordshire just on the outskirts of North London.

As for my work, I have had several freelance jobs designing placement and all over prints using traditional pen and paper, which is then scanned into Photoshop/Illustrator and edited to a commercial standard or designing infographics in Photoshop. I also have experience with large format printers due to printing designs at university. I am currently a part time designer at a company called Bland to Brand, a small branding agency based in Watford.

In June 2014 I won Editors pick on minted's 'state of the art' competition, where I was selected by editors to become a seller on the site out of 500 entries.

I have an avid interest in creative Illustrations and graphic design. I feel that I have all the necessary skills required for this role, an advantage I have is being able to work both on paper and digitally. From freelancing and work I understand how to communicate with clients and interpret briefs to come up with unique designs to fit the individual needs.

I am available for interview at your earliest convenience and I am also available for an immediate start date.

Yours sincerely,

Alfie Passingham
