OUGD602 - Contacting The Gentlewoman

The Gentlewoman describes itself as 'a magazine for women of style and purpose'. It celebrates modern women of style and purpose. Its fabulous biannual magazine offers a fresh and intelligent perspective on fashion that’s focused on personal style – the way women actually look, think and dress. Featuring ambitious journalism and photography of the highest quality, it showcases inspirational women through its distinctive combination of glamour, personality and warmth.

They recently advertised via their instagram account that they were looking for a graphic design intern. 

The magazine holds many of the same values as myself, and their style of design is something that I aspire to within my own personal practice. The following message was sent via the email provided:

Hello!

I saw your instagram post about needing a Graphic Design intern, and wanted to enquire about the position!

As a designer I specialise in editorial design and publication production. Identity and representation form a large part of my practice, particularly focusing on the LGBT community, which would make me highly suited to the magazine. Working with The Gentlewoman would be a fantastic opportunity for me and I would be excited to bring my ideas and enthusiasm to this position.

Attached are a couple of examples from my portfolio and my CV. Further examples can be supplied if needed.

Many thanks,
Erin Blamire
