About me

Hi,

My name is Guy Godfrey, and I am writing in response to the Junior Designer vacancy as advertised online.

I am looking for an entry level role to help me build my career as a Graphic Designer, and feel this position at Candi would be a great place to develop my skills and for me to gain vital experience in the creative industry. I already posses a very in-depth knowledge of Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign, and feel fully confident operating these programmes. I also have a basic understanding of Dreamweaver, Flash, 3D Max and Final Cut. I have a massive passion for design and am a very creative thinker, i relish a challenge and can adapt myself with ease to new and challenging situations.

In terms of experience i have a National Diploma in Graphic Design and have been working as a free-lance Illustrator for the past few years. During this time I have gained industry experience with meeting tight deadlines and producing commercial standard work for print and web whilst not only staying true to brief guidelines but implementing my own innovative ideas and personal style.

This aside i am currently employed as an Assistant Manager at a high end fashion retailer, this role has taught me key organisational and communication skills and I have proved i can perform under intense pressure whilst being a responsible and trustworthy team contributor.

Although i enjoy my current job, my true passion lies in Design and is the industry i know i should be in, i am ready to make that transition and just need the chance to show what i am capable of.

I believe i am the ideal candidate for this position as i have the technical skills, creative mind, right attitude and ambition to make a success of the role.

The chance to work for Candi would be a fantastic opportunity for myself and a challenge i would relish.

I have an online portfolio showcasing my design work and can be found on the following link: */

I am currently based in Manchester but moving to London is something i would have no problem doing.

I hope i am considered a candidate and look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Guy Godfrey.
