Resume Project

This resume is designed toward future employers, likely at a magazine corporation, given my major and intended degree. Since this is my goal and not a job in something such as advertizing or graphic design, I did not want my resume to be too flashy, and therefore stayed away from anything too creative that might be considered “out there”.

I like to this that this resume reflects who I am as a person. It is neat and organized, but different enough that it should stand out in stack of resumes. Being a first semester sophomore, education, specifically the fact that I am in S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, is a major part of my resume, which is why I have that about my organizations and skills.

My first typeface was Cambria. With this I made my first name, and all of the body. The subtitles of each section are bold. The whole body is 9pt and my first name is 30 pt. I wanted a nice sans serif for my first name and body to compliment my last name, which I intended to be a serif.

My second typeface is Palatino, which I used in bold italic 42pt for my last name. Each category is Palatino regular in 12pt. I was looking for two typefaces, one serif, the other sans serif, that complimented each other well, and I felt these two did that the best.

I used no color, as I felt that it would detract from what I wanted to accomplish with my resume. My resume is all black, with only my last name and the categories of my resume gray-scaled to 60%.

Note: The resume posted was not my final resume. My flash drive is corrupted and I cannot retrieve the file. This was the best draft I could find.
