Creating a Perfect Graphic Design Resume

UX Design

In addition to your graphic design portfolio, you will need to create a graphic design resume to outline your skills, experience, and education for prospective employers and clients.  The most important thing to remember when creating your graphic design resume is that your portfolio is a separate item.  Don’t try to showcase your skills as a graphic designer within your resume by using fancy fonts, graphics you have created, page borders, or graphic page dividers.  Keep your graphic design resume simple, professional, and organized.

Your graphic design resume should be tailored to showcase the skills requested for the opportunity or job offer that you are seeking.  It is okay, and actually a good idea, to keep a stock graphic design resume on hand, updating it whenever you change positions or complete a significant freelance assignment.  However, be prepared to make changes to the organization of your graphic design resume if it seems warranted by the opportunity you are seeking.
