I have also added spacing in certain paragraphs, this allows the reader to read the sections quickly.
I have chosen the palette of colour because i feel that blue represents a cool, chilled out, laid back personality. Using alot of white space also allows the reader to have visual breathing space when reading over my CV. Important details such as personal information has been formatted in bold to draw attention to it, whereas the rest of the text has not been formatted in bold and is a shade of grey as opposed to black.
The images below are of the new CV's amended with different colour palettes applied to them.
Hi Lee,
ReplyDeleteYou mention that your selection of palette of colours was based in the fact of you trying to reflect you being "cool, chilled out, laid back personality". What I wonder is if a potential client or employer would be interested in knowing that part of your personality. Is there any purpose in letting you that about you in an interview or when applying for a job?
Remember this is for job applications and to stand out from the crowd but, you should be careful of the reasons that will make you stand out.
Another thing, I find quite difficult to see the whole of your design but, of what I can see I can tell you that those lines (if I can call them "lines") are extremeley thick and visually heavy, they make the whole design really complicated without any particular reason.
I suggest you to decrease the weight of them and see if this supports and increase the legibility of your text instead of decreasing it.
Hope this helps,
Mariana.
