Designing a Resume using InDesign was a fun way to use creativity and make it personal. Because I have only worked for my parents, I had never made an actual resume, and I learned that it's not as hard as I thought it was going to be. The hardest part for me was probably figuring out how to explain my objective in the right words, since they should be powerful. After finishing this assignment, I realized I would not use as many colors throughout the resume, as it might be too much, but I had fun doing it. Creating this in InDesign increases my skill level using it. I understand the techniques and some short cuts a bit more and am relatively familiar with it. I am glad that I can use this information for future jobs i'm trying to get. Since I'm lacking some work experience, I hope that'll change.
When I first received this assignment I was thrilled to be able to design my own logo that is my own creation. It took me awhile to figure out what exactly I wanted to make the logo look like that would in some way represent who I am. I decided to go with a more simple look, even though that's not the style I usually choose. For a couple years now I have started to draw hearts on almost every project or paper I have used. Everyday I seem to draw a heart on my hand also. I know that somehow in my designs I will always want to incorporate a heart, which is why that is a big part of my logo. I had fun learning how to use Illustrator and the Wacom tablets. It became easier the more comfortable I became using it and the techniques were fun. This project is one of my favorites because it shows a lot about a person and represents who they are.
