For this assignment, I chose Glasfurd & Walker as the company I was targetting my resume for. I decided to use the font, Kozuka Mincho to be used for my name to give a friendly but elegant feel, and the Avenir family for the content of the resume to provide a modern look, which fits well in with Glasfurd & Walker’s brand.
For this project, I found it challenging to show personality while keeping the resume looking clean and simple. My other drafts consist of designs using more shapes and colour, but I believe those looked more cluttered and busy. This was a good project that helped improve my understanding of typographic hierarchy and laying out large amoiuntss of text.
If I were to give myself a mark out of 10, I would give myself 7.5 because I believe I could’ve added more personality to the resume without creating clutter. I am content with how I laid out the information, and I hope to add on and improve this resume as I gain more design knowledge and a sense of my own identity ongoing this term.
