Sample Graphic Design Cover Letters

The following are links to some good resources for articles and samples of cover letters to accompany your resume when applying for a graphic design job or internship.

We recommend that you do not copy them verbatim. Chances are that someone else has already used these samples word-for-word, and the design firms you plan to contact have already seen them. Use the samples only as guides for the type of information you should include in your cover letter.
