Infographic Resume



Below is my infographic resume. I first got the idea to create my own when I was on Pinterest looking at infographics. Since then I have loved the look of infographic and have even brought a couple of books that just feature infographic. Infographic makes data visually pleasing, instantly beautiful and more understandable. They were first created for maps, scientific charts and used as a learning tool for children. 

To help create my own infographic resume I got inspiration from Pinterest and created a mood board. I then looked at each individually infographic and choose what was the best feature to help design my own. I then did some rough sketches on some paper of the layout and the each individual section that made my resume. After I started to create each part in Adobe Illustrator. When each section was made I then constructed it in Adobe Photoshop.

Overall I am thrilled with the end result and would happy send this off to design companies when I start applying for jobs. One thing I hope to improve over the summer is my knowledge in the design software Adobe InDesign as at the moment I feel it is quite low compared to the other software. Also if I am lucky enough to get some work experience in the industry I hope to add this section on the top of my resume between education and bio.

  1. You learned all of these through self-study online? You are such a quick learner. The infographic resume that you made is just awesome. Just a suggestion, though. Maybe you can change the font color of the text to make it more readable. A shade darker would do the trick. But overall, I love how you present yourself with your resume. Job well done!
