About me

Dear Hiring Manager

I'm Sunil Patel and I'm an Industrial Designer, a graphic designer, an animator and a to-be web designer and developer. I see myself as an all round, talented, driven young individual ready to take the next step in my career.

I was drawn to this job as expressing myself creatively is something that I thoroughly enjoy. It is an area of my design that I am competent with and do successfully. From my portfolio, the concept of 'Welcome to my playground' relates to my time as a child and enjoying myself and being creative in a playground. In a playground, as a child, building a fortress battling the enemy is possible. Creating an obstacle course full of fire, lava pits, quick sand and snakes. As a child, a place like a playground is where the imagination comes to life. Expressing myself through design is where my imagination now comes to life. It is where I enjoy myself, and where all of my project ideas are born. I immerse myself in all my projects and enjoy working on a variety of projects. Welcome to my playground, the concepts and ideas shown in my sample portfolio are a few snap shots of the projects that have generated in my playground.

I am passionate about design, the voluntary, competitions and personal projects I take part in show my enthusiasm for trying different things. The versatility of projects makes me adaptable to different projects; to me there is no 'can't do'.

I was also drawn to this particular job as I am aware of the influence digital design is having on society. Using different techniques of marketing such as animation and motion graphics can have a greater appeal to the consumer. Animation and motion graphics is something have recently begun to explore, using static graphics created in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop I am now beginning to convert these into motion graphics in Adobe After Effects, making a concept more interesting and engaging for the viewer. During my final year of university, in a group of three we undertook a project to produce a character animation explaining the Design Process. Having never used Adobe After Effects, in three months we were able to produce a fully working 5 minute animation. Proud of the work completed and the skills learnt, I have chosen to further enhance the knowledge gained and produce even more dynamic visuals.

An industrial work placement in a graphic design and print company, my team working, communication and presentation skills greatly improved. During my placement, quick turnover on jobs was important, adjusting the speed in which I completed projects whilst maintaining the high levels of creativity I always pour into my work. Nearer to the later stages of my work placement I was designing fluently for several clients on a daily basis. Working with a several clients and a number of projects simultaneously. Organisational and time management skills that have improved.

Thank you for your consideration of my application.

Sincerely, Sunil Patel
