BACKGROUND:
Whom It May Concern: My name is Chris Van Poos, I am a dedicated Graphic Artist from Miami with a love for Interactive Media and Photography. I started in this industry about six and a half years ago by mistake and have been in love with it ever since. I began as a local print broker selling print media which led me to design, a few years into it I decided if I really wanted to succeed in this industry I would need to take my education to the next level. So I decided to attended Full Sail University which is one of the top Digital Media School is in the nation. I absorbed everything I could the time I was there and have been applying it since. I returned form school about a year and a half ago and have worked for two great companies, both of which have given me great letters of recommendation. Hope you like my resume.
Best, Chris Van Poos
GOAL:
I would like to work with a company that is constantly growing and pushing their boundaries. I am always trying to grow as an Designer and would like to find a great working environment with good people that are like minded.

BY LUIS PALOMARES (OF THE ADRIENNE ARSHT CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS):
May 1, 2008
To whom it may concern: It is with great pleasure that I recommend Chris Van Poos. Chris worked for the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County on a temporary basis as a graphic designer, creating or refining all types of Center marketing collateral, from posters, flyers, print ads, and programs, to e-blasts and image tiles and other Web-related items. Originally budgeted to work for only a two-week period, we extended his employment another five weeks due to his exemplary work. Chris displayed great creativity and complete technical command of his field. His intuition led him to make intelligent design choices. He worked independently once a project was assigned, but always receptive to suggestions and alternate ideas, making him a very valuable asset to our fast-paced, deadline-driven marketing team. He will be an asset to any agency or employer who hires him.
