Poster and Resume

This is my new resume. I increased the type size and moved a few things around. Other than that, the resume is very similar to the original. 

My poster is for the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes) Walk that is going to be held in my homework Oct. 19.  The key line is 'hanging on for a cure' so I created a rope with two hands literally hanging on. The rope has no ending, as it is leading to the sky. It shows the necessary continuation of research and funding for this disease. For some reason, the color is distorted when uploaded to this page. Also, I had the arms and the sky bleed off the page. The margins are formed by the text. On the actual poster, the bottom of the arms are cut out. 

Sorry for the late post

Sorry for the late post, my computer crashed this weekend and I just got it back. This is one of my drafts because I lost my final resume when my harddrive died. Really the only difference is that the color looks better on my final one.

Anyway, here is my resume. I wanted something simple and clean that would be versatile in any industry. I am considering fashion communications, so I chose to use Bodoni, the fashion font, as my word mark and header fonts. With my wordmark, I was originally going to play off that my name is a perfect 6, but instead I did my first name in all caps, and my last name in lower case and then enlarged that font to be the same size as the upper case. Then a connected the B and h and continued the line down so everything looks fluid. I used the red and the drop shadow purely for emphasis. For the body I used helvetica, because I wanted to contrast a serif with a sans-serif. 

I'm definitely going to take the criticisms that my group gave me and apply them for the re-do, so any opinions would be really helpful. Thanks!

For my resume, I knew that I wanted my name to be large and graphic, so I chose to do it in all caps and used the sans serif typeface, Flyer.  I decided to make a sort of border going down the left side of the page to add visual interest and show creativity.  I made the some of the vertical lines a lighter purple because I thought it would lead the eye downwards, and then tried to echo this in the 'L's and 'I's in my name, and with a purple line at each header.

Resume

I wanted a really clean look for my resume, and I knew I wanted big, bold letters for my last name so it would stand out.  I chose Goudy because it fit both the big look i wanted, but also had a beautiful serif style.  For my first name, I wanted a more feminine typeface that wouldn't stand out more than my last name, and I found Nuptial to be beautiful, and fit what I needed it to do.

This resume is meant to go out to advertising agencies as well as possibly marketing agencies.

Design Strategy:
My strategy was to choose a bold wordmark and an easily readable body text. The wordmark catches the eye, and the red dots lead the eye downwards toward the text. I chose a wide left margin in order for the paper not to seem overcrowded and give the wordmark the major focus.
