To Whom it may concern:

I am applying for an opportunity to grow and develop as a creative professional graphic designer. My goals are not only continue gaining experience in the development of print, production and web design; but also in the visual communication needed in order to produce successful marketing results. I have a passion for creating design solutions that will inspire, motivate, persuade and overall captivate the audience’s attention through appropriate design elements and principles. It would be a privilege for me to be able to be a part of a company that enables growth in the areas of production and creative design.


I am currently pursuing a bachelors degree in graphic design with foreknowledge of graphic design software such as Adobe Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop. I have attended Savannah College of Art and Design and have gained knowledge and experience in package design, invitations, posters, postcards, logos, banners, stationery, signage, information design, branding, brochures, flyers, power point presentations, and more through in-class projects and freelance work. I have a devotion for typography, logo brand identity development and the process of brainstorming through detailed sketches and group discussions to convey the best visual solution for a particular organization, company or client. I have gained an understanding of information design, composition, layout, colour, along with strong drawing skills. In order to maintain skills and mind creative, an active approach towards design research and study is necessary daily.

Both Art and Design dwell within me internally as a creative; and both push me to work profoundly from digital graphics to hand rendered media. I enjoy the challenge many designers and artists face when trying to visually come up with the best visuals possible in order to communicate the message effectively. The challenge in producing a brand identity, advertisement or any other medium that will serve its purpose for the client is something I strive to do at best. From getting to know the client, target audience, and their company to producing a series of sketches or ideas, I strive to creatively render effective visuals that will serve its specific purpose. Whether advertising, promoting, or inspiring; through vivid imagination and clear message, we can conceive and creatively produce it together.

I affirm I can be a solid contributor, and look forward for the opportunity to be a part of your company.

Sincerely,

Daniel F. Pacheco
