About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

Having seen your advertisement for the above position I am writing to detail the skills and experience I possess which will be beneficial to this role within your organisation.
As you will note from my enclosed CV I am an experienced Graphics Designer and Manager with extensive skills in managing full cycle projects across a cross section of industries including Broadcasting, IT, Communications and Media. During my experience I have amassed a range of skills in Project Co-ordination, Leadership, Graphics Design and Marketing. I am keen to secure a new role which will allow me to utilise this skillset through managing projects and deliverables alongside my creative flare and passion for animation, branding, and graphics design.
I have worked as a Motion Graphics Designer for a number of years responsible for the delivery of innovative design solutions for a number of medium to large sized organisations. Working closely with the Marketing Department I have been responsible for the creative concepts of company websites, brand positioning, preparation of marketing materials and creating graphics supporting the launching of new products. I have skills in using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and In Design producing brochures, posters, leaflets, invitations and catalogues. I am also well versed in typography, layouts and the design and development of illustrations. I have also worked in Graphic and Motion Design establishing a small video studio and team making corporate and marketing movies for company websites. My communication skills are excellent; I can liaise with all levels of the organisation including key stakeholders such as Marketing and Sales Directors and CEO's also external agencies and Print House.
I have delivered a number of projects through my working experiences and can easily plan and organise all aspects of the campaign delivery, liaising with internal and external suppliers and co-ordinating with international offices meeting challenging timescales.
I am a strong leader; believing in supporting and empowering others to deliver to their full potential and providing training and motivation as required achieving optimum performance. Through my experience in the Retail Industry I understand the target driven objectives and know how to maximise performance in order to exceed expectations. I believe a combination of my leadership skills alongside my creative graphics design experience in delivering projects to time and budget will add value to this role and your organisation. I have an extensive portfolio of my work and this can be accessed through the internet via *; showing examples of my previous work in design, artwork, web, print and Identity.

I am keen to discuss my suitability in more detail and can be contacted at any time; I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
Maria Bodnar
