Design Mechanical Engineering
Resume:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am applying for a Graphic Designer position or freelance position in the areas of creative
design and marketing, or motion graphic design. I am a very self-motivated, and creative
person, and feel that I would be a valuable asset to your team. My qualifications are listed on
the enclosed resume.
Although my formal training does not directly reflect what I do creatively, along with over 12
years of on the job training/experience, including a recent 16 month mentoring program inside
of Turner Studios, it does give me the foundational structure to strategically and systematically
develop and implement my creative work, that I believe speaks for itself. It has also given me
the foundation that I needed to master advanced computer graphic techniques, such as 3D
modeling and animation. I am capable of producing a wide range of media format, from print to
fully animated video content and video FX.
Thank you in advance for any consideration in filling this position.
Sincerely,
Andre L. Hickman
