To Whom This May Concern,
My Design-Prepress career has been spent working in the Chicago-land area. I am equally skilled in both
Mac and Windows XP systems. My expertise with software includes: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat
Professional, Pitstop Pro, Quite Imposing, QuarkXpress, Suitcase and Freeway Pro, among others. You can
see some samples of my work at: http://www.skylinegraphicsweb.com/. Another website to see my work at is:
http://www.pandagraphicsinc.com. I was the Digital Photographer for this photo shoot and a past employee who
created the majority of pieces displayed here.
My production abilities are in designing and working with Commercial and Ad Agency jobs including:
catalogs, magazines, box wraps, posters, business forms, text books, coupons, puzzles, game boxes, calendars,
business cards, stationary, promotional displays, etc. For the past several years I have been working in the PDF
workflow for Digital Printing.
I am a very competent and aggressive worker who accepts new challenges, hard work and gets the job done. My
salary requirement is open for discussion. I would sincerely appreciate a chance to interview with you and hope that
after examination, you will give serious consideration to my resume. Thank you!
Respectfully,
Ray Smith
