About me
Dear Sir / Madam
I am enclosing my CV for your consideration and would like to apply for the 'Retoucher' role at your firm.
As you will see from my CV I am a Graphic Design graduate with a BA degree specialising in print. I have a wealth of relevant academic and practical experience. I have great enthusiasm for design and a good technical understanding of various related computer programs. I am passionate, hard working and eager to gain more of an insight and broaden my knowledge of various retouching processes. I believe I would have a lot to offer your firm and it would be a perfect opportunity for me to build an innovative and professional portfolio to continue a successful career in retouching.
After three years of intense study at Metropolitan University, I showcased my desire for print based work in my final major project 'Human Behavior'. I designed amended and installed mounted photographic imagery within an immersive setting combined with creative sound elements.
I am currently volunteering as a Creative Assistant for a Theatre Studio West responsible for promotion and publicity. My most recent achievements include photographing the youth group's rehearsals and performances. Designing posters and programs for their youth group productions and creating flyers and brochures using Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I am often organising, editing and retouching photographs to create layouts for promotional publications. I am presently creating the programs for their upcoming performances, 'And you were in it' and 'Romeo and Juliet'. Based on the success of these campaigns I have also been commissioned to design the organisation's company logo.
I have attached some samples of my previous work along with one practical based retouched photograph from my photo-shoot. I am reliable and flexible with the hours and days required of me and I can start work immediately. I would be delighted if we could meet up soon to discuss this role further.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Juliet Cameron
