Dear Sir or Madam:
I am a graphic artist who is interested in a position in the graphic arts or 3D modeling field. I am
eager to share my design experience, style, ideas, and talent. I have an interest in all aspects of art and
media; I strive to create a lasting positive impression for everything I create. While working with open
creativity or within strict guidelines I strive to create an outstanding product that will inspire a desired
reaction.
My interest in design stems from an ability to create imagery that’s easy to comprehend and
appealing to the eye. Over the years I have developed strong organizational skills and I have become
exceptionally good at multitasking. This helps while working on projects to break down task then following
through with plans to accomplish my goals proficiently and punctually. As an employee or contract
designer I not only provide creative insight and ideal products with my select skills but clear open
communication to ensure both parties are always on the same page for maximum efficiency.
3D Modeling is the reason I entered the field of digital arts, from my first experience working with
3D modeling software I have found the process entertaining and easy. Since becoming proficient in 3D
Studio Max I can create master works of digital sculpture and even bring them to life with a keen
understanding of physics through rigging and animation. I have a strong grasp on most modeling
processes from low poly normal mapping to high poly detail sculpting as well as UVW mapping, texture
painting, hierarchy rigging, and more. With an excellent understanding of Z brush I can quickly design
models with a high level of complexity and detail. With all these modeling tools and my understanding of
lightning, animation, weather, and particle effects I can create the perfect ambiance to any project.
I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator with a solid understanding of vectoring and
photo editing. Using these tools I provide innovative and eye-catching illustrations. To bring these to life I
use tools such as Flash and Adobe After Effects, which create marvelous animations and effects. I also
have experience working with Adobe In-Design, which I use to create flowing, well-structured layouts and
attractive typography. For web design I have a good understanding of HTML, CSS and commonly use
Dreamweaver to create attractive, intuitive sites.
I have ideas to bring to the table along with the drive and talent to create them. I would work hard and be
a great asset, bringing innovation and creativity to your organization. I welcome to view my portfolio on
my website DrakelingDesigns.com and you can contact me by Email or phone. Thank you for your time
and I will look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Zachery D. Brown
