Dear Potential Employer:

It has always been a dream of mine to work with a team of highly creative and innovative designers, and to utilize my
acquired skills to gain more knowledge in the field of project design. I consider myself to be very ambitious, precise,
punctual, and a team player. Due to my training in the military, I adapt well in stressful, and fast paced environments.
What drives my character is the longing to create things. Ive explored the creative process through traditional art,
digital media, and creative writing. I am a firm believer that inspiration can come from anywhere at any given moment
in time. If given the opportunity, I will prove to be a very positive asset to your company.

I attend Eastern Michigan University, where Ive recently completed my undergraduate degree. I obtained a
Bachelors of Arts in Simulation, Animation, and Gaming. Through my studies, I have acquired the knowledge and
skills to work in the industry of computer graphics and design. Some of the skills I possess include the following;
modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, and programming. I am proficient with many industry standard software
packages, which include; Autodesk Maya, Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, and The Microsoft Office Suite. In
addition, I have developed a basic level of fluency in the languages of Japanese and Spanish. During my time in
college, I became a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Special Interest in Computer
Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH). I was also accepted into the National Society of Collegiate
Scholars honors society in 2012. Thank you for taking the time to review my qualifications for a position with in your
industry, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Jemal Meadows Jr
