Re: Graphic Designer, Advertised on Monster

Dear Mr. Preston:

It might seem strange that I get excited thinking about colors, typography and cascading style sheets, but my passion for all aspects of graphic design has remained strong throughout my 10-year career. I am very interested in the graphic designer position posted on Monster, and hope to have the chance to interview for this exciting opportunity.

I have worked on nationwide and international marketing, advertising, product launch and image campaigns for global brands and companies, including DEF Co, GHI Co, JKL Co, MNO Co and PQR Co, as well as a host of startup and mid-size businesses.

Highlights of my skills include:

  • Print and Digital Graphic Design
  • Website, UX and GUI Design
  • Packaging Design
  • Flash Animation and 3D Art
  • Brand Creation and Extension
  • Interactive Media and Typography Design
  • Clickable Prototypes and Information Architecture
  • Pre-Press and Printing Processes
  • Original Artwork and Photorealistic Illustration
  • Color Rendering and Correction

I am backed by a BA in graphic design and proficiencies in Adobe Creative Suite, HTML, HTML5, CSS, WordPress and a range of other design, video, web, wireframe and multimedia software.

Dedicated to bringing brands to life through omni-channel marketing programs, my key focus is to exceed client and employer expectations. I enjoy collaborating with clients, creative teams and production professionals to deliver design solutions propelling web traffic, social media engagement, response rates and customer-acquisition results.
