Re: Candidacy for a graphic designer position.

To Whom This May Concern:

I would like to present my candidacy for a graphic designer position.

I am a very motivated and hard working person. I have studied multimedia and visual communication for several years in France with a focus on website creation, graphic design and video making. I have in particular completed my studies with a specialization in video games, animation movies and special effects. I have also attended the Aix-en-Provence School of Higher Education in Arts during four years and studied cartoons, manga and anime drawing.

In 2008, I interned at Answeb, a web design company, and worked as a web integrator and web designer on the website of the international congress on pediatric pulmonology (). This experience allowed me to put in practice my knowledge of Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, HTML and CSS coding, Javascript and clearcase. I also learnt to work in a large team and to take initiatives.

In June 2012, I worked remotely for Mona Lisa Real Estate Group LLC, a New York based real estate company. I have developed several models using Photoshop and Illustrator, and also developed the elements of the dynamic interfaces in HTML, CSS, Javascript and Eclipse. In addition, I was in charge of the maintenance of the website (bug fixes and improvement of the Interfaces) and created various marketing documents such as business cards and flyers. My work was very interesting because I was at the same time in charge of all the artistic and design part of the work as well as of all the technical aspects of it to deliver a final product to the company.

More recently, in 2013 I moved to Montreal in Canada to find a position in the video game industry. Montreal is well known worldwide to be one of the most important places in the world for that particular industry. There, I worked for Woozworld Inc as a Flash Integrator. I was in charge of importing flash assets of a video game in the Unity software. I also created game interfaces with Flash CC software, Illustrator and Photoshop CC. Once my visa expired, in April 2014, I moved to New York, where I have family, before returning to France to study English and improve my language skills.

I am knowledgeable with the following softwares: Adobe software suite, HTML / CSS, Wordpress, Protools 8 (sound), Vue, Rhinoceros 3d (notions), 3DS max or also Zbrush.

During my free time, I work with a friend of mine, who is a programmer in Montreal, on a video game for Iphone and Ipad and on various apps for the same platforms. I handle all the artistic part of the work (creation of the artworks, texture optimization on Photoshop, low poly modeling and high poly on 3DS max software and Vray).

I am convinced that I can be an asset for your company and I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
