About me

Dear Sir/Madam

I have just graduated from DeMontfort University, with a first class honours degree in Graphic Design and Illustration. I am writing to enquire if you have any upcoming vacancies for a junior designer position.

In addition to the skills I have learned in graphic design and illustration throughout my degree, I am also an accomplished drawn and stop motion animator, as well as having experience in web design, storyboarding, character design and conceptual drawing. During my time at university I have become proficient in the industry standard design programmes and have employed these skills in a number of projects, all of which are listed in the curriculum vitae accompanying this covering letter.

I am proud to list the most recent enterprises I have engaged in, for example:

Chosen to display work and represent DeMontfort University at D&AD New blood 2008.

Selected to manage the website layout design for my year's final degree show (*);

Art direction and storyboarding for a music video staring the artist 'Junior', currently in the final stages of consultancy;

An integral part of the DemonTV society, as the storyboarder and Illustrator;

Broadcast assistant and presenter of a weekly weekend radio show on DemonFM, organising broadcast content.

I am intelligent, passionate about my work and flexible and know that I would make a positive contribution to your company.
