About me

Dear sir/madam,

I am applying for the post of graphic designer as I believe I have the relevant skills necessary to excel at such a post.

Having graduated from my degree in Design For Digital Media in June 2012, I am now looking for a job in the design industry, the skills I learnt throughout my degree have equipped me for a long and successful career in the design industry and I feel now is the time to begin this.

I have a strong academic background (which is detailed in my CV) and have also had some invaluable experience in a design studio where I had chance to appreciate and understand the necessary characteristics required to be successful in this field of work. I learnt how to deal with client briefs and communicate with said clients, I also had chance to work within deadlines and ensure work created was of a sufficient standard to meet (and go beyond) the client's expectations.

Yours sincerely,

Matt Harris.
