Jessica Choi Resume

Layout Design Strategy
I decided that my resume would stand out more if my name was located on the right. Not only is it a bit different, but it saved a lot of room for the body of the resume. I created a thin black border on the left and right side of my body's text box. The black borders made the resume look a lot cleaner as opposed to just the tick red border on the right side. It outlines and draws more attention to the resume.

There are three main colors on my resume: red, white, and black. my first and last name is written in white because it is clean and noticeable. My middle initial is written in black because I wanted it to separate and frame my first and last name. I chose red as the background color because it always looks bold and modern. Furthermore, it's unbiased to gender it can be either feminine or masculine (I wanted my resume to be neutral). My word mark may look simple, but the color combinations and slight alterations create a unique and fresh look.
Typeface Design Strategy

I used two typefaces for this resume: Gill Sans and Apple LiGothic. Legibility and order was my main concern when it came to choosing fonts. I had a lot of information that I wanted to put on my resume, so I was worried about it looking cramped and cluttered. So I chose two fonts with sans-serif typefaces with medium x-heights.

My word mark is written in the famous Gill Sans font. From class, I know that the Gill Sans font is classified as a humanist sans0serif typeface. I used this typeface because of their well-known reputation of having a modern and clean look. I used all capital letters to highlight the modernity, strength and stability of my whole name (middle initial included).

The body of my text is written in the Apple LiGothic font. I noticed that this font had a really small type-size compared to others, so I increased the size of he font in order to make it more legible. Although the type-size is small, Apple LiGothic maintains the same modernity and legibility as the Gill Sans font.
