Assignment 5


 
I wanted to do something that stands out for the bookmark and I wanted to use the same colors as the "Fight the Flu" banner. I wanted to keep my resume simple with colors and design, my favorite color is blue and I thought the red would go well with my name. I really liked the font and thought it would stand out.

For my resume, I wanted it to have a formal look but I preferred the more informal font. I would be willing to change it for different jobs. I also wanted to have a different type of bullet for an eye catcher.
For the bookmark, I wanted to have the slime to resemble sickness. I used the large drip to align everything to the left.

For the bookmark I found an actual art recreation of the flu virus and designed the bookmark around it. I found a very dirty looking font to use for the title and made the "FLU" portion red to be the most prominent point on the page. The remaining title is smaller font and 50% grey. I let "STOP THE FLU" stand alone, and modified it above with a smaller title "10 WAYS TO," using the other font for the body. For the body I chose to repeat a muted plum and soft forest green color for two reasons: 1- The green a purple match the flu virus in the background, and 2- The alternations will help prevent the reader from confusing one point to the next. I placed the body as if falling down inbetween the flu viruses, logically leading the reader to the logo and more information section.




For the resume, I wanted to have a rolodex kind of feel, but wasn't able to use an actual rolodex page because it is horizontally laid out. The Name and Resume titles don't stand out and are kind of an after thought to help the reader understand what the document is and who it is intended for. I separated work experience and education to the two pages to provide multiple entry points to the text and then placed Interests and Activities at the bottom of the second page, because of ample room. The page font simulates the feel of a typewriter and the address/e-mail/phone front simulates the feel of a stamp or engraving. I made the title of each heading red to guide the reader to and fro each of them easily. The location and date are bolded, while the location is greyed out. Things are organized by date, because in my mind this would be the logical choice for the most clarity.

On the bookmark, I used the same colors that were used in the picture of the close-up disease. I used a font for the title that would grab attention and also flow well with the ADPH logo. I chose a sans serif font for the text on the bookmark because it looked cleaner and easier to read than a serif font.I made the number a bigger font than the text to make it easier to distinguish between different points, and I made the title a bigger font than the text so it would be easy to distinguish between the title and the list. I center aligned the main text, but I right aligned the title. I tried swapping the position of the title and the picture, but I thought the picture grabbed the attention of the reader and then the picture flowed into the title, which would make the reader keep reading after the picture. I used two different shades of blue for the background and words, and though it may be difficult to read from far away, it is a bookmark, so it will be read close up anyway, but it made the text pop against the contrasting background and against the bright green background of the whole page.



I chose to use a basic format for my resume because I thought it looked the most professional, but I chose a super light pink background to add a slight pop of color but still remain professional.I used the same basic sans serif font throughout, but I distinguished headings, subheads and other text with underlining, bolding and bullets. I left aligned everything except my name and contact information at the top so that everything would flow together, but the contact information would be able to be found easily from any point on the page.

I used the dark blue writing to contrast with the light blue background. The dark blue is also seen in the ADPH logo. I tried to find a font that resembled both for repetition. It is center aligned so it is easy to read.
