Vox Music, Resumes and the Business School

This week, I tried to work on previous designs from last semester and I worked on a design for the Trulaske Business school. I also pushed myself to revise my resume make it look more creative than it did before. I looked a few typographical resumes and this was what I came up with.

Previously my resume looked like this:



Presently:



I think the redo looks better, clearer and more creative. It seems as though I've been receiving more responses to job inqueries whenever I send my resume. I've also been working on my first project in this class (immigration spread). This week I also worked on an ad about Mizzou's graduate program in Crosby. It was a test in order to get a position as a graphic designer at the business school. I won't know for sure if I got the job until next week.

The design was as follows:



I think that concept was in the right place but it didn't quite turn out as well as I had hoped. I executed an ad that was in color but since I didnt lie the way it was turning out with all the color, I decided against sending it. I think that when I have more time, I'll actually think of a way to make all the elements work without being overwhelming.

I love your newly designed resume. You've inspired me to redesign mine.

I also like your redesigned resume, but good luck printing it. I have elements on mine that I'd like to bleed off the page, but it's difficult to get them to print like that. Local printers can't accommodate our creative vision... :)
