For this assignment we were asked to draft updated copy and a new design for our resume in anticipation of applying to design firms for summer internships. After being out of high school for 7 years, having completed a degree at UBC, and having done many freelance design jobs, I found it a challenging task to condense everything into a page but still have ample descriptions for roles performed. In the end, I decided to focus on showcasing the information with typography at the forefront of importance. There was very little room for multiple columns or overly “designing” it, although I decided I would like to showcase my fun, graphic illustration style with a few illustrated icons. To further this sense of informal fun and personality, I decided to illustrate my profile picture as well.
I have accepted a 2-month summer design internship at Hangar 18 for July and August, but I am also trying to get in touch with Vancouver Coastal Health to do health communication pieces, in addition to my own freelance work. I am very passionate about trying to better people’s lives and I think redesigning health communication pieces would be an untapped way to accomplish this.
