Aloha!
   Hi my name is Cody White and I saw your opening on Creative Hot list for a junior design position! Once I saw it I had to apply and would love to be considered. A little bit about myself, well I am currently 23, which I know typographically looks a little off, (especially in some typefaces) so I am gunning to make it to 24 so the four can fill in some of that lower open space, and I believe a persons favorite color should be a variant of a primary color, (I love blue) because without those three the rest of the spectrum couldn't exist. But seriously, I am a 2011 graduate of the BFA-Graphic Design program at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and love art and design. I'm a local Denverite, I went to high school at the Denver School of the Arts, and ever since middle school have know that I wanted to be creative and have a constructive and productive art career as an "adult". I have been doing some freelance design and have had a few great internships, which have really shown me where and what I would like to do with design; and landing in a firm would be amazing for me. You can see my portfolio website that I built at: www.codywhitecreative.com, and scope some of my design and fine art work. I love creating entire cohesive brands, working with logos, package design, photography, advertising, and really the whole design process, from client meetings to production. Since I do not really have an email address, and am having to use the form on your website, I can not attach a .pdf of my resume, but I will include the plain text format (but would love to send you the designed resume too) I hope to hear back from you soon, and hear any comments you may have about my work. 
Thank You for your time and have a great rest of the week.
