Project: Create Your Resume

2 hours to complete

Your resume should list your educational background, previous work experience, and the skills you offer. Although the layout of resumes has to be driven by the content, you have the skills as a designer to make yours stand out from the crowd!

It's important to get your content lined up before starting to make design decisions. Put together the information you want to include as plain text before you start sketching or laying things out on the computer.

Remember to include the following information as a minimum:

Name and contact information

Previous work experience

Education and qualifications (including UX Academy)

Notable skills relevant to design work

Relevant awards or certifications

So it’s time to apply the tips from the previous lesson to create your own knockout resume. One final tip, though: avoid boring templates!
