To Whom It May Concern,
I noted your advertisement on The World Wide Web for
an Art Director or Graphic Designer position with great
interest. It is just the opportunity I am looking for, as well as
one for which I would appear to be well qualified.
As you can see by my resume, I have had 20 years of Graphic
Design industry experience in all stages of
aesthetic construction, collateral as well as editorial design
and production, entertainment packaging,invitations,
newsletters, sell sheets, direct mail promotions, as well as
music trade show signage, sales brochures and advertising,
as website design and production. I have also had to manage
budgets, direct creative teams, and procure relationships
with ven dors. I am amazingly proficient in the Adobe
Creative Suite, as well as well as Quark XPress, as well as
the. I also hold a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design from
the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Think of what we
can do together as a team. As an additional bonus, I reside
an amiable commute away from your office for
on- site work. I own my Mac Pro hard drive as well as
scanner. You should be certain that if your position is beyond
a reasonable commute, I am still able to assist from my home
office, using FTP.
I would very much like to meet with you to discuss this
opportunity personally, I am looking forward to hearing
from you soon. Thank you for your time and consideration.
