Resume
Part of creating your portfolio will be including a Resume of what your skills and work experience include. You will need to create a resume for yourself with accurate information. I do understand that some of you will not have "real" work experience yet, but you do have classes and skills you can include. You will need to create a 1 page resume (Do not to go over 1 page). You will need to create your resume to be geared towards getting a job in the career you researched earlier. BUT, this is a graphics class so it is expected that you create something visually appealing. I have put several examples below to give you an idea.
We will be using a new software to create the layout and text, InDesign. But you may use Photoshop or Illustrator to create your images for your design. Must Include the following:
As you work, save your project as a .psd and name it lastname + firstname + period# + resume.ID. When you are finished, save it as a ID and a JPEG with the same name (ex: scalesemilyresume.ID) and turn in BOTH to Scales. Remember to add a jpeg copy to your portfolio folder! Review the rubric for this project to make sure you aren't going to lose any points! |
