One of our designers emailed us nearly 8 years ago with the following message and still works for us to this day:
I am interested in a career in designing and managing media and website content, creating effective graphic design, web and multimedia solutions, and am eager to test and improve my current skills and techniques.
After studying the Delicious Webdesign portfolio of web and graphic design solutions, I am very impressed and enthusiastic in becoming part of a team that develops these types of ideas and content.
I would like to apply for any available positions, work or training you have available to progress my career. The skills I have learned through my degree cover many types of media and software:
– Designing and editing optimised imagery (Photoshop, Mac and Windows) and animation (Fireworks) for the web.
– Authoring Flash for websites and for an interactive CD presentation.
– Recording and editing video (Adobe Premier, Sony Vegas) and audio (Goldwave) for use in a CD presentation, Flash media and websites.
– Converting video into customised animation. (Fraps, Virtual Dub, Fireworks)
– Creating (Dreamweaver) and managing (FileZilla) websites with HTML, XML, CSS (my current learning focus) and PHP.
– Scientific researching and writing.
I am looking for local career opportunities in Stanford-Le-Hope, Corringham and Basildon. I have attached a CV and am currently building a portfolio website, however, the current content I have created can be made available before its completion should you request it.
