About me

Having been a graphic designer for eleven years, and studio manager

for the last five, I enjoy keeping abreast of the creative developments

in the industry as I've now reached a point in my career where I need a new challenge.

Currently I lead a team of eleven designers working with high volumes

of incoming advertising and project requests from 117 divisional

newspaper titles. I have personal and full creative responsibility for producing

all key projects for the company including three monthly glossy magazines,

business award branding and literature, as well as exhibition branding/design,

from initial concept through to completion.

For these reasons I feel that with my experience and solid background in a wide

range of environments including publishing companies, design studios, media companies, advertising agencies and freelance, I have gained a wealth of design experience

in the industry from advertising and promotion to branding and corporate identity

and quite a bit in between.

I am very much an ideas lead designer and as such, my creative approach has

lead to my work being utilised in many different mediums.

My CV and examples of work are attached for your consideration.

If you feel that this is a position in the company that you might like to

consider me for I would be delighted to meet you to discuss this opportunity

Thank you for your time

Yours sincerely

Steven Pike
