Summary

As a creative and organised individual, I am looking for an exciting new position which will allow me to show off my skills I’ve gained upon completing my A levels in Graphic Design/Photography and working as a Junior Graphic Designer for John Roberts Associates. I have gained extensive knowledge on how to create effective and high quality artwork depending on a client’s needs. I know how to manage my time well in order to meet deadlines, work well under pressure to get tasks done and I know how to stay motivated even when dealing with difficult tasks.

Work history

Junior Graphic Designer

John Roberts Associates
Blackpool, Lancashire
11.2022 - 06.2023

A major part of my job for John Roberts Associates was designing a variety of visuals for various kinds of clients such as charities, workplaces and schools. These visuals can range from items of clothing such as t-shirts and hoodies to flyers for products being sold by other companies. Many of the visuals I made were for many prominent distributors such as Edmundson Electrical and Portwest who each had their own strict guidelines that I had to follow carefully. These guidelines also had to be followed very quickly as I had to complete all visuals as soon as possible (which was mainly around 45 minutes each.) Doing these daily tasks allowed me to improve upon my time management skills as well as gain a new insight into how to work efficiently under pressure.
