About me

Re: Advertised vacancy as Designer for Trinity Mirror Plc on Creative Pool website.

Your vacancy, as detailed above, was of particular interest to me because it offers a new challenge in an environment which I find extremely inspiring and enjoyable. What is more, as you will see from my attached CV, my background is particularly relevant to your requirements.

I am an experienced and enthusiastic Art Editor with demonstrated abilities in Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. Overall I have 9 years design and publishing experience. On each title I have had the creative responsibility to design visually impacting layouts that maintain the overall style of the magazine to its highest standard whilst always working to tight deadlines. My experience on these wide range of titles shows my flexibility as a creative designer. It also displays my ability to work on a fast-paced art desk, prove I have good eye for detail whilst maintaining strong communication and organisational skills to keep the magazine running smoothly. I contribute fresh and innovative ideas in meetings and enjoy the sense of satisfaction and pride it brings me to see a project through from start to finish. I have commissioned and successfully art directed many shoots abroad and locally with fantastic results. These were all within budget and to deadline, whilst always considering the target audience. A small portion of these can be seen on my CV.

I believe that my skills, good knowledge of design programs and personal attributes match the requirements you seek for this role and that I would be able to effectively contribute to the team and organisation.

I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my application and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely

Samantha Scott
