Motion Graphics Designer

Denver, CO · t.reyes@email.com · (555) 827-3315

Dear Hiring Manager,

I'm applying for the Motion Graphics Designer role on your team. Over five years creating brand and explainer animation, I most recently led a 90-second product launch video that drove 1.2 million views and became the client's top-performing organic post that quarter.

I take projects from storyboard through final render myself, animating in After Effects and building 3D elements in Cinema 4D when a spot calls for more depth; on that launch video I cut our typical two-week timeline to eight days by building a reusable rig for the client's brand assets. I'm comfortable moving between kinetic typography, character animation, and product visualization depending on what the brief needs.

Your studio's reel has a tactile, hand-built quality to its 3D work that I don't see much elsewhere, and I'd love to bring that same care to your next project. My reel is at tomasreyesmotion.com -- I'd welcome the chance to talk through it.

Best regards,

Tomas Reyes

How to Structure a Motion Graphics Designer Cover Letter

Four short paragraphs is the sweet spot. Here is what each one should accomplish:

  1. 1Opening: the role + a shipped animation project and its measurable result
  2. 2Body 1: specific concept-to-render process with tools and outcome
  3. 3Body 2: range across 2D/3D work, turnaround speed, and collaboration
  4. 4Closing: reference to the company's reel/style + call to action

Writing Tips for Motion Graphics Designer Cover Letters

  • Lead with a specific animated project and its measurable impact (views, engagement, client outcome).
  • Name your exact toolset (After Effects, Cinema 4D, Illustrator) since studios filter hard on this.
  • Show you can go from storyboard/concept to final render independently.
  • Mention turnaround speed or volume -- studios need reliable output under deadline pressure.
  • Reference a specific animated piece from the company's reel to prove you studied their style.
  • Link directly to your demo reel rather than just claiming style versatility.
