Graphic Artist Application
Throughout reading this opportunity I found it hard to believe you could find anyone better than myself for this job. As arrogant as that sounds, I'm not just talking about my skills in design, vector art, flash animation & web design (over 10 years experience). But more so the field I've spent the greater half of my career in has been designing for a Children's Entertainment Complex.
I've developed everything from Instructional Videos, Promo Cartoons, Interactive Flash Games, Newspaper/Brochure/Magazine/Online adverts, Business Cards, Logo Design and most recently in charge of Marketing for the Complex itself.
My next highest quality is communication and understanding development and I work amazing under a vicious deadline. I've been managing my own freelance business for over 3 years now which is always steady (even without advertising).
My passion is in Animation, Marketing and Character/Background Design. As I grew as an Animator/Artist I learnt mostly through others understanding their style and techniques, and although I have a style of character design (which is still constantly evolving). I'm much stronger in recreating other peoples designs. I would love to learn as much as I can about iPhone & iPad application development, at least from the artistic side.
My main weakness is I can only work from my own location which is not a stable location (I travel a bit), even though I am a stable reliability.
My other weakness is the programming side of game/application development, though I understand that's not in the job description, I just thought it would be best to get that out in the open.
I'm not arrogant, I'm honest. I'm not promising, I'm providing. I'm not negative or unsure, I'm confident and motivated.
I'm am more than happy to provide samples of my own work I've done throughout the many years I've worked at this entertainment complex. I am even happy to provide example drawings upon request (free of coarse).
