About me

Dear Creative Team

Re: I am writing in response to your advertisement for a Freelance Designer

I have recently completed my final year of a Diploma in Graphic Design within K College and would like to make the best use of the skills developed during my course.

Over the past three years, I have become highly proficient in Adobe, Photoshop, illustrator on both Mac and Windows XP,CAD, and In Design.

Over the last 3 years I have been lucky enough to extend my artistic skills with private clients. This includes a full underwater mural scene within the Reception area at Mereworth CP School Kent, 21st birthday party caricatures on 6 ft ply boards, and a 30ft wall Farm Mural at the Detling Showground, Proud at the 02. All the private work has developed through word of mouth. I was able to work with detailed briefs from clients, and under pressure to tight deadlines, produce budget plans to ensure the work is priced accordingly and within budget. All work produced is at the highest level - and while juggling full-time study.

One of my proudest moments was winning the 2010 School Wars South East Award run by Monorex design agency. The competition was judged by Edding,Reebox,Suso and creative designers at Monorex Link: theschoolwars.blogspot.com/.../school-wars-opens-for-class-of-2010. I ran a team of 4 artists all with different creative styles and personalities.

Whilst at school my art teacher advised me to enter a Connections Employment 'Youth Christmas Safety Campaign Awards'. Upon entering I won the award.

To develop my skill in Typography I have completed a full day's private lesson with Wayne Osborne, I found the day fully rewarding and my final piece was created in gold leaf.

I enjoy working in a creative team and have the ability to communicate with managers and colleagues alike. As such, I believe I can make a significant contribution to your design team.

I can bring my complete portfolio to an interview and look forward to the opportunity to do so.

Yours sincerely

Mr Joe Clark
