About me

I am writing to you to express my interest in the Youth Marketing Graphic Designer / Illustrator position as advertised.

As an upcoming graduate of Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design and a Freelance Graphic Designer / Illustrator with 5 years experience working in the Youth culture / Music events field, I would like to highlight the skills that I have which align directly with this role.

I have worked consistently with numerous bands / management agencies throughout my educational period to produce print ready outcomes across many platforms including: Flyers / Posters, T-shirts, Logos, Magazine Adverts etc. I also have basic web maintenance knowledge and have worked on digital projects including; backgrounds / banners for web, as well as designing and making my own personal website - *

As a Freelance Designer, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients with tight deadlines, sometimes required for next day printing. My dedication and enjoyment in this area of expertise means that any challenge is welcomed and I work well handling multiple projects under pressure. The Youth sector is something I am actively involved in through my design work but also personally as I enjoy attending music / culture events.

I am confident with Adobe software which I use daily for print specific projects as well as having knowledge of Flash and the ability to produce basic animations. My abilities in Illustration mean that I can personally produce the full artwork for projects without outsourcing imagery. I can create images both digitally with a tablet and traditionally by hand with pen & ink. I have also studied Photography to A level standard and continue to peruse this personally as a form of image communication.

I am very interested in the available position and feel I would enjoy working in your exciting and fast paced environment as part of the creative team. Please see enclosed C.V for more examples of my achievements to date and the sample Portfolio for an overall idea of my work.

Yours Faithfully,
