My name is Shanta Swinton and I’m applying for your company’s Graphic Design position.
As a Graphic Designer, I have over twenty years in art illustration and eight years in graphic
design.I have excellent creativity in graphic design, good experience with design concepts such as
packaging and advertising. I am very much familiar with print production and preparation. I also
have excellent communication and writing skills and I’m very good in sketching.
My most recent design job was with the North Carolina Air National Guard. In 2010, I designed
t he UnitCoin. The coin will be issued to all of the men and women who are due to receive and
award for their dedication to the war efforts. It has been an honor to be able to do something so
significant in my lifetime. I have also had the pleasure of assisting Her ff Jones Yearbook and
Her ff Jones Photography with more tedious projects that required more discipline, time
constraints and accuracy. With my background knowledge, out-of-the box creativeness and drive
for success, I know that I am a perfect fit for your company.
At this time I would like to thank you for the opportunity to assist your company with
communicating effective design. I look forward to working with you in the future.
Honorably,
Shanta Swinton
