About me
31 oktober 2014,
Dears Sirs,
I understand you are actively recruiting at this time for the job title 'Graphic Designer'. Recently I have graduated from the University of Lincoln, where the highest award I have achieved is a Masters in Design. I have completed three degrees in both Design and Graphic design (University of Lincoln and Sint Lucas, Netherlands), along with two internships in Packaging design and Fashion photography in London and Antwerp.
After taking in dept in the vacancy description I see a lot of bull it points that I match and agree on. The reason of applying is that I can tell the job would be for a innovative company that know what they are doing. Reaching high scale of design outcomes and a good company philosophy. I would be honored to work in a company like that as I'm a very motive designer with the aim to meet the clients preferences as good as possible. During my masters at the University of Lincoln I created an organization based on research and experience with the frustration of the daily use of mobile phones. In this stage of my degree I researched a lot into technology and behavior, social aspects of advertising and the importants of creating positive discussions on day to day basis.
My research since completing my degree has enabled me to look at the usage of design these days both in technology aspect of analogue versions of advertising and design. During my BA (hons) at the University I found dept in using methods in different ways of advertising, developing design work with a innovative touch. Besides my experience as a Graphic Designer, I did internships in Packaging Design in Antwerp and a internship at Carlos Lumiere Studio (London), where I gain expert knowledge of Adobe Photoshop. Both companies told how to work with minimal supervision, in professional meetings, with deadlines and how to think in a problem solving way.At the moment I am trying to get more work experience by being self employed, although there is the ambition to work at professional design studio like yours. Where I would love being in company of follow designers, learn, discuss and expose different way of thinking, where design is all a way of living.
With this in mind, I have attached a resume outlining my qualifications and skills, alongside a sample selection of my work from university. Here are a few of my significant capabilities:
- Strong conceptual thinker/ idea generator with a good knowledge of social design, typography and the newest trends, with excellent problem solving skills and a meticulous eye for detail.
- Excellent organizational and communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to adapt quickly to new briefs by meeting demanding deadlines and schedules.
- Proven capacity to successfully produce work in programs like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere pro, Sketch-up and many other CS programs.
possible to move and starts ASAP.
