Job advertisement - http://www.reed.co.uk/job-details/Leeds/Junior-Web-Designer/?JobID=17013435&&set=5&jr=17013435&lit=2

The job advertisement that I have found is a Junior Web Designer in the media, digital and creative web design sector. The role of the job will be to work with clients to produce interactive online sites, bring new designs to the company and provide specialist advice and knowledge to the client. The skills required are Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash is essential with some knowledge of HTML and CSS.

The job advertisement is a job that I feel would best suit the skills that I have learnt on the course, as I have not had much experience in the graphic and web design industry. The best option would be for me to gain more experience by working as a junior web designer and then progressing on to a more experienced role. The location of the job is based in Leeds this is somewhere I would like to work as there are more opportunities for work in this area.

Being a junior web designer would mean that I would gain experience in different parts of working for a design company such as designing interactive media products and also working with the client. This is something that I think would help with progressing on to a
higher position within the Company.

The skills that are required for this job I will have learnt at college such as Photoshop and Illustrator skills. I would need to learn how to use Flash as this is an essential skill that is required for the job. I feel that this is something that I would like to learn about as it will make me more employable when applying for a job as most of the job advertisements are wanting to employ people who have learnt Flash. I will also have skills in HTML and CSS.
