I am glad to see that you took the time to visit my résumé page. I am inquiring in reference to possible job openings in graphic design, print design and/or designing for the web. Please consider my qualifications for this position with your company in the Atlanta, GA area. I have been working for 6 years as a graphic designer, 4 of which have been for a small design firm developing and designing layouts for ads, brochures, magazines, catalogs and books, as well as some website maintenance and design. I also have experience with the creation of PDFs for digital media as well as pre-press operations and collection of files for print. I am currently seeking a graphic design position primarily working with print materials. Please review my resume along with this cover letter and consider my qualifications for employment within your company. I would be very interested in speaking with you to discuss how I would best fit within your business.
I have an Associate of Arts degree in Photography, a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Visual Communications with a concentration in graphic design, and a Master of Information Technology degree. I am fully versed in Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark XPress, and Adobe Acrobat, as well as several other software programs. My knowledge of HTML and CSS as well as my creative design skills has allowed me to create and maintain several websites. I have completed courses in computer maintenance and repair as well as networking. The ability to work on both a PC and a Macintosh has allowed me to be flexible with the variety of clients I deal with on a daily basis. I also have managerial experience and customer relations experience. I can work well as a member of a team as well as individually and thoroughly enjoy the work as a process and as a product.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of my talents and qualifications. I look forward to meeting with you in the future.
