About me

60 Oak StreetNew CroftonWakefieldWF41JNEmail - [email protected] - 13 October 2009Dear Sir/Madam,I have just graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University with 2:1 honors in Multimedia Technology and currently carrying out a placement in Leeds. In my final year of University, I have developed a passion for creative design and photography. This fast-paced and dynamic sector really appeals to me and I would welcome the opportunity to develop my skill set further as a Graphic Designer.I have attached a copy of my CV, which outlines my skills to date. Throughout my three years at University I have gathered together a creative portfolio, which showcases my skills. A recent example was when I achieved industry experience as part of my final year project, re-branding Deeping Osteopaths where our client was ecstatic with the end product. Eye-catching exhibition point-of-sale graphics were created for my end of year showcase. In addition to this, I have promoted myself as a freelance designer gaining experience in brand design, promotional flyer designs and photography. Please see *, I arranged voluntary work experience at Fantactics Web Design Studio in the heart of Leeds where I design and create websites for signed bands such as Chris Rea and The Raveonettes. I also arranged experience at a Graphic Design Studio working on projects for the Yorkshire Forward and The Civic in Barnsley. This involved preparing artwork for print and capturing promotional photography. In addition to this I also arranged some invaluable experience at a professional photography studio working on product photography and manipulating the photography taken through Adobe Photoshop.Throughout my experience at University, I have demonstrated a creative and passionate approach to my work with excellent communication and team-working skills, which I feel, can be utilised and developed as a Graphic Designer. Working tirelessly to tight deadlines, I completed all of my subjects with excellent time management with the Macintosh operating system. I am competent in the use of Adobe Creative Suite including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Quark Express that I have used to a high standard and utilised these applications in creating my online portfolio.I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this job role further and feel that my design skills fit well with the requirements of this post.Yours Sincerely,Richard Clutton
