About me

To Whom It May Concern,

Please find enclosed my CV referring the Web Designer vacancy.

A Bachelor degree in Graphic Design gave me the practical tools to create, from the brief development to the realisation of a print or a digital work. It also introduced me to the theoretical thinking, getting inspired by artists that worked previously on the same domain.

Software courses were undertaken during the university years (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Page Maker) and followed my career on every new interest I developed for the graphic arts. First came the Web Design and the digital publishing (Adobe Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, In Design) and then the Motion Graphics (Adobe After Effects and Premiere). This knowledge was often transmitted by certified trainings or from other professionals, but it was also gained by self-learning skills, which include the utilisation of Macintosh operational system.

The Motion Graphics became a passion. In 2003 I started as an intern on a small TV channel (TV Diario), owned by the largest broadcast company in Brazil (Globo Inc.). After a few months on the post I became responsible for the animation sector. It was an intense working experience, in which I learned to brief and compose for different television productions, transmit ideas for animated projects through storyboards, and accomplish the jobs on shorts delays.

Looking forward to expand my approach of the graphic design, I went to France in 2007 to study a Master in Arts and Digital Technology. Two years immerged in the scientific research as much as in the artistic environment, I mixed medias and practices and improved the capacity of structuring my work over digital art's former references (specially related to video art), bringing consistent new ideas.

I'm looking forward to work in a positive environment, with the responsibility and determination that the position requires. I would be glad to discuss my experience with you in more detail.

Yours sincerely,

Maria Luiza GILL
