About me

Dear Sir or Madam,

I recently came across your advertisement for a Designer position, and would like to submit my resume and application for the advertised post. After perusing your requirements I feel that my qualifications and work experience perfectly match them. I hold a BA Honours Degree in Graphic Design and have a total work experience of 5 years. I am well versed in different areas of design and have successfully designed solutions for print, photography and some web site media. My key duties and responsibilities include, among others, the following:

- Meeting clients to discuss the objectives and requirements

- Understanding the client's needs and developing suitable concepts

- Estimating the amount of time needed to complete projects

- Designing different types of illustrations and layouts as per brand guidelines

- Produce excellent visual solutions

- Working with different types of media, including computer aided design, and photography

- Working alone or as part of a team as per the requirements of the project

- Collaborating with copywriters, photographers, printers and illustrators, to give the best service to the clients

I am comfortable with Mac OSX as well as some PC applications. In addition, I have knowledge of designing software, including the following: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Indesign, Quark Express, and Adobe Acrobat Professional. Good communication and listening skills are paramount for a Designer, and I excel in both verbal and written communication. I am a team player to the core, but am also at complete ease when working alone. I have attached a copy of my resume. I hope you will find enough evidence of my capabilities as a Designer in there to call me for an interview.

Yours Sincerely

Miss Julia Gosden
