Profile

Hi my name is Daniel Harris, I am a versatile illustrator who has recently

completed my final year at the University of Wolverhampton, receiving a BA

Hons in Illustration. I am extremely eager and enthusiastic to commence my

career as an illustrator or graphic designer and develop my skills and

knowledge in the creative industry. I would describe myself as being

artistically talented, combining a creative mind with an eye for detail to

produce some great pieces of work. I'm polite, thoughtful and a valued

member of any team.

Skills

. Ability to produce work quickly and to a good standard. I'm reliable

and meet all deadlines.

. Talented drawer and painter which I incorporate into my work.

. Excellent photographic skills, which also makes an appearance in my

work.

. Extremely experienced in IT and skilled in a wide number of computer

programmes including Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I am also a

very quick learner in using different techniques and mastering new

programmes.

. Good communicator and can work as either part of a team or

individually.

Graphic Design work experience

. Myself and two other students were chosen by my lecturer at university

out of the hundreds of people that were on my course to work with

Dudley council. We produced a number of images that were used as part

of a music video to promote the awareness of gang culture and knife

crime. I worked closely with my fellow illustrators and produced

roughly 6 images each coinciding with the lyrics that we were given by

the council. To give us inspiration we met with youngsters who used to

be involved with this type of crime and who have turned their lives

round.

. Produced a CD package for a local band who approached me to design

their debut CD cover. This included a CD cover and inlay

incorporating the theme of their lyrical content and style.

. Currently working on a logo for a new courier service based in

Scotland.

Working style

. My style is a blend of painting, drawing, photography, found objects

and printmaking that I fuse together using Photoshop. I have

experience with producing, book covers, children's books, CD covers,

leaflets, posters, graphic novels and logos.

Career history

Part-time Customer Sales Assistant at the Cooperative: 2008 to date

As a sales assistant, I am responsible for customer service in a

supermarket. This involves everything from dealing with customers and

selling goods to handling payments and making sure that the goods are

attractively displayed.

Key Accountabilities:

. The job requires a high level of customer interaction which has

resulted in me gaining excellent customer facing and communication

skills. As well as customer interaction, effective communication and

working as part of a team with my colleagues is vital and has resulted

in me being a key member of the customer team.

. Offering advice and answering questions, not just about the store's

products and prices but also issues like stock availability or any

special promotions that may be running.

. I've learnt how to cash up and lock up, which I never needed to learn

for my job status but took initiative to watch my supervisors to

progress my learning of retail.

. Working computers is needed in till working, reducing prices of items,

wasting items with a gun and also checking availability on the

computer.

Christmas Customer Sales Assistant at Argos: December 2007

For this job I was both situated in the warehouse and on collection point,

so I really gained an understanding of the processes that occurred that

enabled the item in the warehouse to get to the customer on the shop floor

to deadline.
