Hong Kong Polytechnic University and I am due to graduate in June 1988. As you can see from
enclosed CV, I have extensive experience in computer graphic design. Apart from the formal
training I have obtained from my three-year course and summer programmers, I have had a
number of part-time and summer jobs which have helped me to gain experience in designing
computer graphics. Frequent participation in workshop, competitions and extra-curricular
activities involving the subject has also allowed me to develop insight into the area.
My professional training at the university requires adaptability and creative use of the resources
adaptability and creative use of the resources available to produce graphics for a real customers
