Resume Rationale: Andrew Tredinnick

My goal when doing this resume was to create a resume that was unique, but still had a formal look. I used typefaces that were strictly serifs to accomplish this. I wanted my word mark to stand on its own so I used the color orange because being a warm color it would catch the reader’s eye. I used a type that had sharp edges and had a large x-height to make it easier to read. I used the same fonts in the headers and word mark, but the font used was very versatile and they look completely different from one another.

I did not want to use a sans serif type because it was not as easy to read in the body of the text. The type used in the body of the text was similar to that of my word mark, but its descenders were unique. I tried not to take my design over the edge because I wanted to make sure my resume was clear and concise. Overall I want this resume to portray me as someone who is edgy but has a good knowledge, simply based on its appearance
