2. To whom it may concern,
I am submitting my resume after seeing your online post for a Creative Director. With my
experiences I am positive that I am the best candidate for this position. My background
in the field includes Art Direction, Graphic Design, Web Design, Motion Graphics and
animation, Website Development, Mobile apps, UX, Virtual Tours, and photography.
I have a Bachelor’s in Graphic Design and eight years of experience in the industry.
Utilizing extensive working knowledge of Wordpress, HTML, DHTML, CSS, jquery,
JavaScript, and basic php. I supervised the design and production of animations and
other media. As a Creative Director I have directed an inventive staff of varied talents in
these endeavors ensuring operations ran smoothly and deadlines were met. I reviewed
work from both technical and artistic viewpoints consulting with management on
progress and necessary changes. I used my interpersonal and problem solving skills to
cultivate a comfortable working atmosphere. I strive to keep energy and creativity high
as we design and execute our projects. I would bring all these traits to your company.
I have experience with very complex and tricky projects that requires very innovative and
clear UX and architect to meet the major purpose of the app; like Vorex mobile app. My
Motion Graphics experience ranges from a very simple HTML5 animation to a very
complex 3D animation.
Beside all this, I always have plans for adapting new technologies and creating
innovative solution. Virtual Reality is one subject that I have been working on lately that
will open new possibilities.
