Resume and business card final

Using the 2 columns for my resume has stayed constant. In the final iteration I did a lot more with cleaning up what was on my resume. I pulled the 2 columns apart so they don’t blend into each other. I shortened what I said under descriptions because my crits where that they were too wordy. I also brighten the color of maroon that I used, cause my previous iteration was a little more brown than red. I also kept with the 2 types of Universe fonts. I originally placed san-serif’s in however, because of how much information I had, the thins got too thin, and didn’t read as well.

My business card takes the same logo as my name, however I was a little more playful with the orientation. I extended the “L” from the front to back to make it more continuous, and played with the inverse of the colors on the front and back. I rotated my entire logo, from the previous orientation cause I wanted the effect of having my name go off the page. and I also used the L to divide my digital and analog skills.

Business card rough draft

Still taking the two column approach because the first is read as a list. In this revision the only font that is used is Universe. The color is only to show the headline for the catagories: this because I do not want a large font, so to make it stand out, I used a dark maroon color. I want the employer to be drawn to the activities I did, so the largest hierarch is the Clubs and companies on my resume. I also played with multiple ways to do my logo, again keeping with the Universe font to stay constant. Because my name is short I played around different ways to make it more interesting.

My Business card takes the same logo as my resume. The screen is split to show a screen shot of what is the front and the back. Color was introduced to make more of a connection to the resume. I am not sure about the final design, but currently I am working with showing my skills on the business card as well.

Here is this sample of different type of fonts (Didot, Abadi, and Universe) that I played with for the logo. I did not like Didot, so I played more with the lather two.

Resume rough draft

The Sketches done in class. Using the Rectangular to find a page format that expressed the header and body of a resume. In the second row, first column, was the format that intrest me most. Focusing on the simplicity of it.

Using the two column format. Placing the skill sets in one column so that is most readable. The hierarchy for both drafts was 1. the name 2. The firm/school/club 3.location/date 4.farther information. The types of font that were used was Didot and Abadi MT Condensed Light because of the thinness in the contrast to the thicker format of the Serif font. The usage of caps to lower case also proves a contrast using the same Abadi font.
