Why do you want this job?
The job would be great experience for me coming straight from college. The job would be suitable for me as I have knowledge of the required experience that is needed for this job. There will be great opportunities to learn new techniques and software, as well as develop the ones I already know. I also look forward to the video-editing that is part of the workload.

What is my greatest strength?
I have an imaginative mind that helps me with my ideas generation. It also helps when developing my final design.

What is my greatest weakness?
Probably my most feared weakness is confidence. I always seem to keep questions inside that are dying to be answered, but when the chance comes I don't usually speak until it's too late. This also affects my presentation as I fear that something will go wrong, and in several cases it does.

What would I like to be doing in 5 years time?
There are many options still open to me as a designer. I could specialise in just print work, although CSS is beginning to click in my head and I am starting to learn useful techniques that help create a better website. I am also good at motion tweens and drawing within Flash. Perhaps a job company that specialises in webdesign, but with elements of Flash and print design would be the most suitable job for me.

What excites you the most?
I enjoy any work that is produced in Photoshop. I.E: Image restoration, banners, screen designs. I also enjoy corporate work such as; designing logos and business cards. I am also finding CSS very entertaining at the minute, as there's always something new to try out.

Who is my hero?
My hero has to be Justin Little wood. The guy behind CartoonSmart. His work is such an inspiration and I look up to him whenever I am in need of some Flash help.
