Additional Information:
Dear Human Resource Director:

Are you looking for a multimedia designer with knowledge of print, multimedia skills, and dynamic design? Are you also searching for a graphic designer with working experience in QuarkXpress, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign? I am Ashton Keim. I have the knowledge of design and the experience that it takes to be a professional.

Currently, I am employed at Bon Ton Corporate Offices. By late spring the company will be moving the offices to Milwaukee, WI. They are offering limited positions within the Milwaukee offices, and I am unable to move. The Orlando area is of great interest to me. I am looking forward to move closer to my significant other and her family in the Orlando area. I would be able to start as soon as possible.

While designing for both Bon Ton and The Gannett Corporation, I have had many great achievements. I have successfully contributed to the completion of all assignments on for over five years. At Bon Ton my duties include layout of direct mail pieces, completion of special projects, and keeping all communication open between buyers, production, art directors, and management through out the entire process of each advertisement by creative meetings and turn-ins.

As a graduate of The Art Institute of Bradley Academy for The Visual Arts in York, I am well trained in both graphic design and multimedia design. In addition to being a versatile and intelligent designer, I possess many other attributes such as dependability, efficiency, trustworthy, responsible and punctuality. I would be a great asset to your company.

I would welcome the opportunity to meet you and share my portfolio. Also, I would gladly send you examples of my work. January 19th through January 24th I will be in the Orlando area. Please contact me Monday-Friday 8a.m. until 5p.m. at my work number (717) 757-7660 extension 1524 or anytime on my cellular number at (717) 424-3098. Thank you for time and consideration, and I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,

Ashton L. Keim
