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.
