Commissioned Resumes

These resumés served as my first commissions. I asked the clients to send me all of the information they wanted displayed, their preferred colors and hierarchy of sections, and went through the process of sending several drafts for feedback.

Eric wanted to keep his resumé neat and clean, while still displaying all of the information on a single page. Matthew had the opposite challenge. They wanted their resumé to look as full as possible without being too obvious about the fact that they had little to display.

For both pages, close attention is paid to the use of space on a single page. This involved using neat grids, particular font choices and sizes, leading, and tracking to get the effect each client wanted.
