Ho, travellers

Seems that this is the first link I have for reaching lj in the history (livejournal.com/update.bml) so I may as well post.

Life has....been hectic. Especially this past week.

( A basic rundown: )

The rules are probably different for graphic design people, but I thought the Resume was confusing and too "real" looking. Like, it actually looks like you took someone's form letter and filled it out, which is what you were going for, but in my opinion a terrible idea. A Resume is supposed to be (and will be) read in 30 seconds. You want GLEANABILITY, people!

Also you say you were promoted within "one semesters". Insta-rejection. Even if it's supposed to be a cute way of showing off how it's a block form and you're just filling in the blanks, it's still a typo. Also, you didn't graduate from High School? No GPA? Remember consistency, is there a period after "semesters"? There might be. If there is, good job.

also you might want to change "Mandarin" to "Chinese", as that would help database searchability and stupid HR people who don't know the difference. Maybe it's fine.

thanks for the proofreading. I was doing this pretty fast so I didn't get a chance to read the whole thing over again. hopefully my teacher won't catch that. what annoyed me was the fact that the font set I used didn't have apostrophes.

Yeah, that's what I meant with by on the fence with the project though. Most people agreed that 1. looking at a tax form is no fun and 2. it's too busy. but those same people also agreed that it caught the eyes right off the bat.

So it's a certain trade off. Mostly I was hoping to show ingenuity and actual editing skills through doing it in this type of format.

It's not the best, but it'll do for now....
