Why I am suitable for this Position.
I believe I’m suitable for this position because of the wealth of knowledge I’ve being able to acquire in this field over time. It has not been easy though as I’ve been through thick and thin trying to master this art. I’ve read quite a lot of material, follow quite a lot of good designers and many of what they do has rubbed off on me such that it reflects in my designs too. Another reason why I feel I should be considered is the fact that I love teaching, am passionate about imparting knowledge especially when I know it’s needed and will be well appreciated.
My experience as a graphic Designer
I started graphics design about 4 years ago, I actually picked interest in it because I loves the art. Graphics is a way of communicating abstract ideas using shapes, colours and text/font, images in a well structured and balanced form which appears very appealing when viewed. What brought me into it is that magic I thought designers perform when they turn an abstract idea into something amazing you can now see physically or even touch (as in the case of handbills and banner). When I started off initially, I was very poor but I never got tired of it, I only celebrated my little beginning and kept on working on my self for improvement. Today I design all manner of fliers and I hope to venture into some other aspect of graphic design such as brandidentity design, motion design and the likes as I continue on this path. I’m not perfect, am still a student and will keep learning this art.

MY Graphic Software
I use Photoshop CS6 for my graphic design, although there have been some other updated versions of photoshop but I feel proficient using this particular version while taking my time to explore the other ones when there’s an opportunity to.
Thank you so much for the opportunity. I will like to invite @faithspeaks @dibie @omogekristi @ochang @reetachee to come and be part of the wonderful development in this community.
