Personal Statement
After succeeding in my degree, I have entered the graphic design industry with an open mind and I enjoy all areas of the subject. I have the ability to work well under pressure, time manage and meet strict deadlines with great attention to detail and accuracy. Specific areas of interest would be in magazine/newspaper layout design, signs, logos, advertisements, brochures, poster design, corporate identity/branding, typography and digital photography. I am highly competent in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, QuarkXpress and also have working knowledge in Flash.
I have excellent communication, presentation, client liaison and project management abilities. I am quick to grasp new ideas and concepts, and to develop innovative and creative solutions to problems. I work well within a team while making sure to listen and to also share ideas. With a confident attitude, I am deeply committed to the timely completion of high quality work, with the ability to communicate with colleagues and clients clearly and effectively. A well organised and positive individual, proactive and reliable.
