Dear Claudine Hall,


As requested here is my .PDF portfolio, and a little bit about myself and the course I am on. Firstly, I completed my foundation in Graphic Design at Newcastle College and because of this I was later accepted to study Graphic Design at the Leeds College of Art and Design. After studying a variety of different disciplines in the first year I have found my strengths lie in working with Illustrator and I thoroughly enjoy branding/packaging and general corporate identity. I have tried to involve elements of each within the array of projects I have done both last year and this year. Now that I am in my second year I have started to develop a more professional and specialist approach to the work we are doing. For example, we did a whole module based on design for print. This entailed visiting print agencies such as TEAM and designing our work to be mass produced. I also enjoy working in In-Design, further developing my layout and grid skills. Although I am still perfecting my skills, I feel I am now ready to pursue a small placement with a professional company such as yours. This is vital for me to gain experience and understanding of the working industry and environment. If applicable, I would relish the opportunity to work with your company for 2 weeks, unpaid. Thank you very much for this opportunity and if you require any additional information about myself, please do not hesitate to email me back or ring me on 07711884585. 

Yours Sincerely,
Robyn Russell
(BA Graphic Design)
