Dear Director,
Please consider me an applicant for a graphic designer position. After reviewing the company website and researching the company’s products and services, I would consider it a privilege to work with the team.
I recently graduated from the Graphic Design program at School of Visual Art. I am always interested in developing and executing ideas into a particle and creative form through various media. Also, I am passionate in every project I am involved and have patience to bring out many different executions and solve problems. There, during and beside the school projects, I have gained some experience on designing editorial work and advertising including magazine, brochures, logos, posters, packaging and 3D installation. Besides, I fortunately have opportunity to gain the experience on producing and directing a short film.
I take great pride in the design work I create and always strive to deliver an effective, focused, and on target product that achieve the goal in projects. I am a creative, reliable, hard-working designer who can work well in collaborative team environment or individually. I work well with clients and consider myself a strong communicator, presenter, and listener. My career goals are to continue to learn and grow as a graphic designer while utilizing my creativity, knowledge, education and people skills to benefit my employer.
I look forward to meeting with you to further discuss my qualifications, goals and portfolio.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Janet Yeh
