Britney, I like how you used a gray background to really make your sections stand out. The teal and gray work well together. I think adding the personal touches, such as the map and the skills you posses are great additions. I do have a few suggestions for you: 1. Under your work experience the type of work you did for each place is a little hard to read. 2. It looks as if your headers are tilted upwards a little bit. I think other than my two suggestions you did a great job!
Your color scheme is appealing and the whole document looks well-balanced. Nothing is too cluttered, which is nice. I like the beige, grey, orange, and turquoise colors you use, but that scheme seems interrupted a bit by the extra colors that appear in the bottom left corner. I don't think it would be too hard though to just alter the colors of those images a bit to fit with the other colors. Just a thought. I actually never thought about adding a "What I heart" section to my visual resume, but now that I see yours, I think it's a great idea! It gives potential employers a bit of insight into your passions in life, and may serve as a great conversation starter even!! One last thought--the different levels of your software proficiency rating scale might be a bit confusing to some. For example, what does "moderate" and "major" mean? Moderately competent? I just think the wording there should maybe be changed to clarify things.
Also, Shaun mentioned that your headers look tilted up a bit. I actually like this effect! I actually think they could be tilted up a bit more and create a really cool effect, as long as all of the headers stay consistently tilted, if that makes sense.
And I have to say, I adore your name at the top left corner. Looks very well designed and instantly draws me in and makes me want to look at the rest of your resume.
I love the color scheme of grey and turquoise. Always a classic. Your use of white space is balanced and the double columns draw the eye in an organized manner. The wording for Technical skills has already been addressed by a previous comment, and I agree; terms such as "proficient" and "fluent" may communicate your meaning a little better.
Your creative touches such as the name tag and Virginia image give your resume an added element of personalization that I enjoyed. Regarding the title smudges, I think the slight incline is more apparent when situated over the straight lines of the boxes versus the open "what i love" and "skills" sections, which may be causing the eyes to look twice about the consistency (illusion/visual agreement).

Very appealing resume overall!
Britney,
ReplyDeleteGreat use of visual icons to convey different things (your interests, you location, cell phone and email, etc)
My only comments would be the same as above - about thee light blue text being hard to read on the beige.
I would suggest making the entire background grey, or the light blue, and playing with the font in a beige color etc. Just a thought!
Great use of white space and organization of content.
Looks good!
