Cover Letter!
!
I have ten years plus experience in working with art designers, clients, and
artistic development projects. I have the experience to develop corporate images,
casual iconic art, and demonstrations in graphic designs. I also am fluent with the
Adobe and Autodesk software). I am a graduate with a degree in Associate of
Applied Science Graphic Design who would love to make the best use of all the
skills that I have developed during my course of studies and experience.!
With my passion for excellence I work hard to uphold my pillars of great quality
work ethics and most of all designs. First and foremost, I have an excellent eye
for design. I know great design interface when I see it, and able to explain why
it's great (even if I didn't create it!). I'm an Adobe ninja. I am fluent with
Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects. Indesign and various 3D programs are in the
mist of being mastered. I can jump in quickly without a lot of direction, and learn
by asking the right questions. I interact heavily with the clients and the designer. I
create an enriched work experience. I maintain a well-organized and neat
production appearance with every design, thumbnails, and/or final editing
process. I act quickly to address concerns and provide resolutions. I am capable
of working with multiple mediums (software, paint, pastel, graphite, charcoal, ink,
colored pencils). I am a core designer at the purest form. !
I have the ability to work under pressure for tight deadlines and making sure that
the work is produced at the highest level - and along with juggling my full-time
studies. Moreover, I have got vast experience in designing magazine pages,
flyers, brochures, logos, motion graphics and advertisements.!
I like working with a creative team and have got the ability to communicate with
the colleagues and managers alike as my references can give you a
confirmation. As such, I always believe that I will make a significant contribution
to the position you need filled. !
Sincerely,
!
