I like the graphic element that he create to put in his resume, its easy to understand and very standing out.it is very unique, because the color palette and the layout show me his personality. it is simple as an infographic chart. one thing I dislike is the “like” I think it was too personal for a job. but everything else is very smart idea for a beginner who doesn’t have any working experience. he using the graphic element in very smart way.
As a Graphic designer it would be a awesome idea to do a resume that not only tells experience one has in the field but also shows it. Many of the examples i saw of these Graphic Designer resumes capture my attention. They illustrate graphic techniques they play with the type used and make it very professional. I liked this idea and i think i will use in the future.

The first thing that I have noticed when researching graphic design resumes are the ways in which they are stylized. It is a great first impression and allows insight into that persons personality and what it is they are all about. Another thing that i’ve noticed is the emphasis put on the softwares. This person uses the actual adobe icons. He wants the employer to recognize it first because this field is highly dependent on these skills. I like this resume because it is stylized, neat, and easy on the eyes. It’s obvious this person has a lot of experience, making it an ideal looking template for a Communication Design Management student.
The following resume is one of the few I found that highlights the skills at the very beginning. Also the formatting is a bit different which may help the resume stand out from the crowd. The resume also includes different experience other than paralegal yet in the duties description relates the experience to that of a paralegal duties making the employment relevant.
