Design Strategy
For my project, I was trying to accomplish a clean, easy to read resume while at the same time have it be creative. My intended audience is whoever is hiring me for a position, most likely it would be a manager. I also wanted to reflect my skills attained from learning how to use Adobe InDesign. With this resume, I am trying to display my past and present work experience and skills in a clean yet artistic way.
I think that from my resume I can be perceived as professional yet imaginative. The periodic use of purple in the bullets, dashes and line breakers show a splash of color yet not over the top. I feel that the resume is fun however, presentable and enjoyable to the eyes.
Choice of Typeface
For my wordmark, I decided to use for most of my name, Gills Sans. The reason why I chose this font is it coordinates really well with the capital "N" used in my name. For the "N" I chose to use Bickham Script Standard. The reason why I chose this font is because I like the way both my first name and last name fit in with the "N". Overall, I feel that fonts coordinate well together, Gills Sans is an extremely readable font and very versatile.

I think your wordmark is really pretty and i think that if you tried to make the dotted line look like the lines in the N, it would add a really cool touch to the rest of your resume. I think a curved line like that is really different and would make your resume stand out from the rest.
ReplyDeleteI agree that your wordmark is really great. The "N" ties in your first and last name well in an interesting way. Also, the color purple is very successful as a touch of flair and creativity. You succeeded in doing what you planned to do in your rationale.
ReplyDeleteI also think it's creative that you decided to write "Communication Experience" as your headline instead of just "Experience." That would stand out to me on a resume and I think it works well with your resume.
There are a few spelling/grammar errors and some bullet points are a bit vague, but other than that it's a good resume.
