To Whom It May Concern:
Please accept this cover letter and resume as my submission for the graphic
designer position and an expression of my deepest interest of being part of
your organization.
I would like to take this opportunity to say, while my work experience may
not scream graphic design expert, all of my college education has been
devoted to graphic design, creative thinking, and print production. I have
an A.S. degree in Graphic Design from Manchester Community College and a
B.S. degree in Graphic Design Technology & Print Production from Central
Connecticut State University. My many years of freelance design experience
coupled with my education, I feel very strongly that I will be successful
in this position as a graphic designer.
Furthermore, graphic design has been a passion of mine for many years now.
So if given the opportunity, this would not be just a "job" for me, rather
a career that I would love embracing on a daily basis. I am highly
experienced with all versions of Adobe's creative suite design software on
both Mac and Windows and quite knowledgeable on effective design creation.
I also have the required skillset to manage and produce high capacity print
job from the initial stages of the job planning to the final delivery to
the client. I have the creativity and the skills required to excel in this
organization. I just need an opportunity to express my enthusiasm for this
art and explain how my past work experience, though not design related, can
be beneficial to this position.
I look forward to hear from you so that we may further discuss my
qualifications.

Thank you,
