About me

Dear sir/madam,

I am very interested to hear about the Graphic Designer position as I would like to use my knowledge and skills of design in a challenging creative manner through branding and advertising. I am currently working as a graphic designer for a bi-weekly lifestyle magazine called Reflect which is distributed in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. I am very interested and involved in the activity of designing various kinds of materials, including brochures, leaflets, posters, illustration and photography. I am very passionate about designing, its not just a career of mine but also a hobby. I would like to have the opportunity where I can push boundaries and have exciting projects to work with where i can develop my passion for designing and drawing.

I have gained experience through marketing and advertising by working as a Graphic Designer at Clockwise Credit Union in Leicester, working at a magazine company called The Shires, and Leicestershire Community Projects Trust where I helped train disadvantaged people in using design software called Adobe Photoshop for a T-shirt making business. I have also had the opportunity to work for a successful company called the A&N Media (apart of associated newspapers which publish the Daily Mail, Metro and other high profile papers) where I designed a online magazine for the IT helpdesk. These experiences gave me a step forward in the business of design. I have gained excellent communication skills through meetings with my clients and have the ability to work with feedback and tight deadlines. I have gained knowledge of how to target certain audiences through the use of colour, image and text.

My enclosed CV provides a more detailed description of my education, interests, and work experience. If you could please take time out to look at my magazines from the Reflect website *, you will find all of the issues which I have designed from issue 15 and onward. I also have an updated blog which showcases my quirky illustration and creative skills, which i like to do in my leisure time; *, work experiences, where i am currently working;Reflect Magazine and illustrations that i have drawn in my own leisure time.

I look forward to hearing from you, and do hope you find my CV to be of interest.

Yours sincerely,

Mandeep Kaur
