About me

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to apply for the position of 2D Flash Artist. Please find attached my CV and a few examples of my Flash illustration work. I believe that I would make a great addition to the team, owing to my current skillset and my fast learning ability.

Web design and Flash illustration have been two predominant hobbies of mine since I graduated from University in 2007. I am in the process of setting up a small project in my spare time creating websites and showreels for budding actors and various other people in theatre. I also regularly partner with a friend of mine to create new and interesting BlackBerry themes. In both instances, my favoured tool for creating graphics is Flash CS5. I am always eager to learn more though, and I believe that working in different environments would be constructive in my development.

With demand for Flash websites gradually declining due to compatibility issues on many devices, although I still produce illustrations within Flash I have reduced the amount of .swf animations in my designs. However, motion tweening and masking is easier than ever in CS5 and I have no problem creating Flash animations.

Admittedly, my experience does not lean to this type of work, but I am enthusiastic about the industry and would thoroughly enjoy being able to spend so much time illustrating for such a creative and imaginative company.

I have a great working relationship with my current colleagues, and I hope to continue this form working at Noisy Duck Ltd.

Kind regards,

Toby Mansfield
