About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my interest in your Artworker position posted on the Creativepool website. I am looking for an opportunity to build upon the skills and knowledge that I have gained over the last few years and strongly believe that my two years' experience working as an artworker, university qualifications and positive personality will allow me to fulfil the challenges and responsibilities of this role.

At present I am working within the marketing department at Diamond Holidays, an established company that specialises in coach, rail and river cruise holidays. I am jointly responsible for creating approximately 300 newspaper adverts per week ready for submission to national newspapers and publications; ensuring that they are the correct size, format and layout to coincide with the companies brand guidelines. In addition to this I work with the Senior Graphic Designer creating direct marketing pieces which are print ready, this demands an eye for detail and design but also means it is essential that I organise my own time to ensure that all deadlines are met. On top of the design aspects of my job I am also responsible for updating our three websites, creating web banners and marketing emails and generally supporting the team with their day to day tasks.

I graduated BA Illustration from the University of Lincoln in 2012. This developed my confidence in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and traditional materials/illustration as well as expanding my ability to approach briefs in a creative yet professional manner.

I would consider myself to be a hardworking, organised and motivated individual who is experienced in working within a busy creative environment meeting strict deadlines. I am happy to learn new skills and build upon my experience as a designer and feel that due to my friendly and approachable personality I fit in well within a creative design team.

I can provide a link to my portfolio on request. I have also attached my CV for your attention and I hope to hear from you soon.

Kindest Regards

Gemma Davies
