Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Sam Geddes, I’m 19 years old, an avid designer at the University of Northumbria, and throughout my life, i’ve always wanted to be one. I’m asking you now, hoping I can join your company for a placement, which starts in March 2014 and ends in June. This is a very important part of my course and an important stage in my future, my first steps in fulfilling my dream to become a designer. What I can offer your company, is precision and perfection, I myself am a perfectionist. Hard working, good organisational skills with an eye for detail. My design theory is second to none, always reading up on the latest trends and products that come onto the market, I am an experienced Photoshop and InDesign user, and am just being taught the beginnings of Alias, SolidWorks and Rhino of which I am a quick learner. During my time here at Northumbria, we have taken upon many group projects, being a team player is key I feel for the success of any design company and it is this that I thrive upon. We as a collective, have been lucky enough to colloborate with big brands such as Intel and Phillips in which I have developed my skills further and become more experienced in the field of design. Thankyou for having the time to look through my portfolio and I hope to hear from you soon. Yours Sincerly, Sam Geddes
