Hello,

Sir/Madam,

I take this opportunity to introduce myself.

I've done a Diploma in Advanced Creative Visualisation & Copywriting from Manthan School of Advertising and also am a Printing Technologist from GIPT (Govt. Institute of Printing Technology)

I've started my career in Pre-Press industry, as a Cameraman progressing through to top-shelf Drum Scanners. Being a quick-learner, with burning desire to excel - has always made me a preferential candidate for further advancement.

I owe my excellent colour sense to my stint as Drum Scanner Operator and have honed my expertise in Image Retouching, Merging, Cut-out & Colour Corrections. Tenacious exposure to Graphic Designing has moulded my skills in Masking, Pagination, Colour Separation, Typography, etc. with high degree of precision.

Wait, all these technical jargon, is it really necessary for the job at hand and that too - as diverse as - Copy? I believe, Yes!

I took a break from my active service to gain an Arts education from Manthan School of Advertising which changed my mindset. There, I've unlearned a few things, only to gain a new perspective in Space Balancing, Font Selection, Colour Combinations, Image Selection, Mood Creation, Lighting for Photography, Copy-writing & much more; only to fall head over heels with Copy.

Even though, I started to work as a Creative Visualizer with M&C Saatchi - my heart remained firmly entrenched in Copy. That is when I decided to take the plunge – for good. And boy, did I discover a flair for writing, editing & proofing! In fact, I've never derived a better job-satisfaction than dribbling with copy.

Lately, I’ve dedicated my skills to translating or rather in trans-creating between Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi & of course English.

I'm sure this unique background would be a great asset to a company like yours, and would also stand to benefit and learn likewise. Thanking you in advance for your generous consideration and time spent.

Sincerely

Hitesh Mistry
