Dear Professor Litow:


Please review the enclosed resume. As you are aware, as a requirement of earning my degree from Orange County Community College, I need to work as an assistant in my field of study and expertise. Professor Jennifer Lehtinen recommended that I send my resume to you, because of your specialty of Graphic Design, Photo Restoration, and salvaging of damaged photographs.


For the past three years, I have been studying graphic design, recreating new advertising ideas, new logos for the school departments, and photographs that reflect emotions. While the work has been enjoyable, I have discovered that my true passion is restoring photographs back to their former glory. Photos that have been washed out, torn apart, and have been exposed is my calling. Adobe Photoshop is my main source of program where I have repaired the photographs, the tools included were the polygonal lasso tool and one of my favorites is the Stamp. Some of the photos that have been repaired by me, have been exhibited in photo shows like the Definitive Pixel on campus and some other shows (OCCC Spring Art Show 2009, 2010) and contests that have been held off campus, such as Dunkin Donuts 60th Anniversary. People who have viewed my work said that it highly impressive.

If you are interested in viewing my work, I would be happy to set up a time at your convenience. Also if you are visiting the Westbrookville area, please call or leave a message saying that you’re coming to see me in person. My cell phone number is (845) 800-2423, or my home phone number is (845) 754-7146. My email address is jharrington89@aol.com

If you have any questions, please call. I will follow up with you at the end of March to make sure you have received my resume. Looking forward to meeting you and hear your opinions on my work. Thank you for your time.


Sincerely,



James Harrington
