About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

I wish to apply for the position of Senior Designer (Job ref: SC/SD) with your company as advertised on Creativepool.co.uk recently. As you will see from my attached CV I am Irish and currently based in Ireland but am looking further afield for work.

I hold a degree in Graphic Design, having attended college in Athlone Institute of Technology and University of Ulster, respectively. I have seven years Graphic Design experience, most of which lies primarily in design for print. I also spent time as a designer of computer based training courses and web design. This work has included concept development, visual design and preparation of artwork for print.
I am fluent in QuarkXpress, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign and Adobe Dreamweaver and have some knowledge of Flash. I would describe my self as a creative Graphic Designer with a passion for typography and colour.

I am seeking employment after been made redundent recently. I was employed by Alpha Publications Ltd., as a Graphic Designer on their newspapers for nearly two year. My role involved liaising with the advertising sales team, designing the majority of in-house advertisements and laying out newspaper and supplement pages.
Full details of my education, relevant experience and technical skills are contained in my attached CV. I would like to thank you for taking time to consider my application. You can contact me at any time on .

Yours sincerely,
Philomena Guinan
