About me

I found your company whilst looking for interesting & creative places to work & you stood out to me as a potentially great place to work at.

I'm a recent graduate of the BA (Hons) Graphic Design course at Leeds College of Art and I feel that my passion, creativity and attention to detail, among other skills would make working for your company the perfect opportunity for me.

I am applying for the position of catalogue designer in your company as I feel it is perfectly suited to my aspirations & skills set. Throughout university and my freelance career to date I have found the most enjoyment out of generating, creating and presenting complicated information into readable, informative and inspiring material for my audience.

I have a variety of experience in liaising with printers and external sources of contact for personal and client work including negotiating work for business cards & yearbooks. Therefore I have an accurate understanding of printing terms including preparing work for print, specific printing knowledge including using CMYK printing & the use of spot colours.

I'm a confident speaker, can present & network well with clients and colleagues but most importantly I enjoy the work that I do & create and always employ a positive attitude to tasks both in and out of the workplace.

I have all the skills required from the job application. I have experience in working with basic html/css. I have an extensive knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite including Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver & Illustrator. I can write & rewrite copy creatively & professionally in standard English, I'm highly computer literate on both PC & Mac hardware and have experience in a variety of software packages including, but not restricted to Microsoft Office & Quark Express.I have an appreciation of the possibilities of both print & web based content and can work with a variety of people throughout the business. I am equally confident in leading, being part of a team or taking orders from above.

I have experience in creating appropriate media for a variety of outcomes including magazines, posters, e-zines and websites.

I have a full UK driving license & hope to hear from, and meeting you soon.
