 I am writing to express my interest in the Architectural Researcher/Writer position with this company. I graduated from Westwood College with a Bachelor’s degree in Game Art and Design. Through intense course work involving team projects which I frequently lead, I have gained a strong discipline as a dedicated, team oriented person with excellent communication and organizational skills, and I have become very accustomed to working in fast paced environments while successfully meeting hard deadlines.

My main skills are in 2D and 3D art, which include 3D modeling, texturing, animation, page layout, and logo design. I am also proficient in other areas, such as presentations with Power Point, spreadsheets with Microsoft Excel, and Retouching with Photoshop.

I believe with my diverse experience I could be a valuable benefit to the company, while achieving a good start for my career. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the ways of which I could help the growth of your company.
 

Sincerely,
Andre Payne
