could you please check my covering letter?

I am an experienced graphic designer and lecturer with a sound knowledge and understanding in the field of graphic design.



I have studied for my degree at The Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, where I gained knowledge across a wide range of graphic design fields and I have strong artistic and technical abilities.



I have worked for a number of advertising agencies and publishing houses, where I have been exposed to all aspects of the related media industries.

Since moving to the UK I have worked in a small publishing company - Kennedy’s Publications Ltd.



My experience as a graphic designer and lecturer demonstrates my ability to work with others, while meeting the challenges presented to me, including the necessary communication and oral presentation skills – despite English being my second language.



I have had a chance to work with, and learn from, some of the best graphic designers in Poland (Gorowski, Pluta).



I have the experience and ability to oversee a project from concept to finished product.

I have experience of print and web design and have knowledge and experience of pre–press setup.



My experience working for a leading psychology magazine in Poland, prepared me for working under pressure. I designed many illustrations and covers for CHARAKTERY (psychology magazine).



I seek to have a clear view and concept from the beginning of the project, using my computer only as a useful tool to achieve the desired results. I am always vigilant not to lose the main idea of a concept.



Every design that I develop must be specific, functional, original and applicable.



· I have excellent knowledge of typography and typesetting and I am highly proficient with Adobe CS2 Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, In Design, Acrobat and Quark).

· My work has been exhibited at many exhibitions and competitions around a world with excellent feedback. I designed many book covers for well-known publishing agencies in Poland (ZNAK, WYDAWNICTWO LITERACKIE)

· Recently I returned to photography especially in my poster works and illustrations.

· I developed my own artistic design language and I arrange my own studio settings.

· I can work and move between Mac and PC platforms.

· It is important to me to get inspiration from a wide range of aspects of life including art, nature, literature, cinema and theatre. These impressions make me more creative and flexible in my design work.



I believe that my previous experience has enabled me to work effectively and to meet deadlines while remaining focused on the task in hand.



I have an extensive portfolio of work, which I am happy for you to view. Please contact me if you require any further assistance.





Yours sincerely
