About me

Dear Sir/Madam

I attach/enclose a copy of my CV and Portfolio with a view to apply for the freelance Graphic Designer position as advertised on Creativepool.

I have gained experience of working as a graphic designer in both in-house studio and agency environments gaining various transferable skills and a high proficiency in industry standard software such as the Adobe Creative Suite and Quark Xpress to name a few on both Mac and PC environments.

In my most recent role undertaking a long term fixed-term contract at Hillarys Blinds, I worked in a small in-house team under the direction of the Creative Head of Studio and in collaboration with external design agencies designing and artworking a large collateral of material to an exceptionally high standard, adhering to and being respectful of brand guidelines, ensuring all artwork is print ready and liaising with clients, printers and the head of studio to ensure successful delivery of the finished product within time and budget constraints. Here I also gained experience of working in a marketing department and producing materials for exhibitions and also some packaging work in the form of sample folders and product portfolios.

During my time at Trader Media I gained excellent time management skills multi-tasking throughout the department with copy writing, type setting and proof reading as well as designing and artworking to ensure strict daily print deadlines were met. Responsibilities in this role also included working within brand, corporate and advertising guidelines and regulations. Here I worked on an array of national and regional publications ensuring delivery of artwork from conceptual stage to press.

I am a proactive, enthusiastic individual with a meticulous eye and an obsession for detail. With an education based in Design, culminating in the world renowned Transport Design degree from Coventry University and a career with several varied designed based roles I have gained excellent communication skills and a multitude of transferable design skills. I have a love for all things design and am always looking to keep up to date with modern design trends and always trying to expand my skill base.

I feel that this is an excellent opportunity to further develop my career and that I have all the necessary skills to be a success in the role. I look forward to hearing from you and to have the opportunity of an interview to further discuss my skills and the role. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further information and to see further examples of my work.

Yours faithfully

Manjinder Singh
