Resume

Sorry this is late!

Basically I wanted to create a really minimalist, clean design that looked young, modern and casual, but still expressed some level of sophistication and confidence.  To that end, I left a LOT of white space and kept the design very linear.  

I also chose very young, modern fonts: the body font is Cronos Pro, a sans serif with relatively small ascenders and descenders; and the wordmark font is Parisian, a sans serif with unusual counters and a big difference between the thick and thin strokes.  I also chose to use lowercase letters throughout - I think it's sort of daring to use all lowercase in a resume, and it doesn't detract from readability.

Finallyyy, my audience is someone in the HR department at a magazine.  That's very vague, but it's only September.  I did use this resume at the career fair...!

I really like your wordmark. It really works perfectly together. Don't change it!
