About me

Dear sir/madam,

I am writing to apply for the Catalogue Designer position as advertised on the Creative Pool website and enclose my CV for your consideration.

I have a very keen interest in catalogue design. Working for this leading organisaion would be something I would like to be a key member of and I believe I have the right skills and creativity to work well and succeed in this role. I am a candidate who is very commercially aware, and have a passion for all aspects of design.

I am pursuing my goals in design, having worked on many briefs for my current employer, ranging from newsletters, brochures, posters, leaflets, photoshoots to bus rear adverts. Working for a catalogue retail brand would be an environment I would relish utilising my skills and experience. I am good at working with a wide range of people, having worked at Rotherham College of Arts and Technology; I have become very accustomed to the pressures of demanding deadlines. I have grown to become an active listener to the client and the brief required, organised when juggling more than one job at once and have acquired good time management skills when prioritising to meet deadlines.

All design work produced are designed on Apple Mac computers using Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign, where they are finalised and set up for print, ready for internal or external printers. I work extremely hard to ensure designs are produced to the best standard and that the client is happy. Also having attended advanced software courses at Sheffield Hallam University, this has further strengthened my software skills and design capabilities.

I have shown to be creative for a number of different clients, ranging from corporate design to creative design. Clients include, Rotherham Academy (Performing Arts), Wharncliffe Restaurant, Inspire Hairdressing and Beauty Training Salons, Rother Valley Nursery and the College Marketing department. I have fulfilled all briefs successfully and accurately consistently receiving very positive feedback from my clients.

I hope that, on consideration of my CV, you will be persuaded of my potential to perform well in this position and to make a real contribution as a member in your organisation.

Yours sincerely,

Lilian Yip
