For this assignment, I created a resume for an internship at Carter Hales Design Lab. While researching about the brand, I was struck by their experimental yet professional approach. Since I primarily identified with their more playful and experimental side, I emphasised that in my personal statement.

On the other hand, my layout design is more clean and simple in nature. Since I am still relatively new to typography, I wanted to make sure the resume was functional and readable. While this was done adequately, some of the personality I showed in my writing was lost in the simple design.

If I were to grade this assignment, I would give myself a 6.5/10. I am happy with the writing I think it works with both my personality and Carter Hales’ brand. On the other hand, while the resume is legible, an element of craziness needs to be added to the design in order for it to come together.
