Dear Sir or Madame:
My name is Gerald Wendell Reynolds, Jr., and I am writing in response to the opening for the Visual
Designer position. I am a graduate from Winston-Salem State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in
Computer Graphics. Upon completing my coursework, I graduated Magna Cum Laude. I began an
extensive internship with Ken Etheridge & Associates where I worked on perfecting my craft as well as
continue to attain the knowledge necessary to continue a career in graphic design.
The majority of my career I have worked for KEA, a marketing company based in Canada. As a graphic
designer for this company, I was responsible for creating a variety of visual marketing media for branding,
print layout, creative displays, and website development through use of programs including Adobe
Creative Suite and Dreamweaver.
Interning with KEA I was awarded the opportunity to work alongside supervisors and clients to achieve
optimal results. I continue to enhance my skills by working as a freelance contract graphic designer with
companies such as KABA; a company that designs security systems and SoulTic Magazine, a publication
focusing on the needs of the African American community. Through my work, I have worked on branding
projects such as the Charles Matthews Reality company logo and the Target Excellence Program to
promote the use of a school tutoring program. Working with SoulTic Magazine I am responsible for
designing the layout of each publication. Working with these companies, I have improved my
organizational and time management skills by completing all projects on or before scheduled deadlines.
Sincerely,
Gerald W. Reynolds, Jr.
