Senior Editor

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., all these - 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. It does! 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, polishing, proofing, et el! In fact, I've never derived a better job- satisfaction than dribbling with copy.

Lately, I’ve dedicated my skills solely to Translate, Edit, Polish or rather to TransCreate between Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi & of course English.

With the onset of AI in almost every macro universe, 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
