Graphic Design Cover Letter Sample

Note This: If you're looking for a job in the field of graphic design, be sure to write a professional cover letter of your own making instead of adapting to a format that is overused by thousands of job seekers. The following cover letter template includes some details to guide you. Of course you'll want to refer to your experience in graphics as well as make clear that you are an artist who can create something unique for each client and/or project.

A cover letter that is well worded, clear and specific will make the difference between being passed over and being invited in for an interview.

Dear Ms. Bender:

This morning I'm writing cover letters to a variety of graphic design companies that I found listed on JobSearchJimmy.com. The job youposted, however, offers just the right mix of personal artistry and client requests as far as I'm concerned.

I've been doing graphic design for the last six years for a non-profit charity but now I'm ready to assume a position that will qualify me for a regular salary and company benefits, as well as challenging assignments that will call out the best in me.

As you can see from my attached resume, I have a number of projects listed for which I received numerous awards. If you choose to interview me in person, and I hope you will, I promise to show you what I can do and how well I can fulfill what is required of me if I win this position.

I'd be very pleased to speak with you in person in detail if you'd like to meet. I'm available at 777-777-7777 each weekday afternoon from 2:00 pm on. Thank you for reading my cover letter and resume. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you.

Sincerely,

Alice Job Seeker

Keep in mind: As you write your cover letter for work as a graphic artist, be sure to refer to any special project you've completed that led to an award or prize of some kind. This will put you in good stead with the hiring manager and elevate you and your skill to a level of professionalism that would be hard to overlook.
