In your opinion, what is the difference between a designer’s resume vs. a non-designer’s resume?

In my opinion, the difference between a designer and a non-designer resume is that, with a designer resume:

  • Colours and images can be used in the resume
  • It can be printed on any paper type, if wanted
  • The content on the resume does not have to follow a strict layout and can be positioned anywhere on paper (as long as it is easy to read and understand)
  • It is Usually more expensive to print
With a non-designer resume:
  • They do not use colours or images. They are all usually in strictly black and white
  • It follows a standard order where contents on the resume always falls under each other, like a list
  • It is only printed on regular white letter sized printing paper
  • It is Cheaper to print

In your opinion, what is the difference between a designer’s resume vs. a non-designer’s resume

In my word the biggest difference between a designer's resume vs a non- designer's resume, is the structure. A non-designers resume has a standard structure worldwide,while a designer's resume allow creativity with no boundary. It allows the person to sell their creativity as a designer, displaying his/her creative capabilities.  A disadvantage of the non-designers resume is the fact that most time you have to rely on an interview to sell your self.

What is the difference between a designer’s resume vs. a non-designer’s resume?

The main difference to me would be the level of creativity that is allowed or even expected. In regards to the designer resume, this seems to be more of an outlet to showcase your abilities as a proclaimed designer. It could also be considered as the first piece of work a company will see of your talents.
 The non-designer's resume is simply a  truthful recount of your experiences while in the work world as well as the skills you earned to but there a specific rules that you have to follow. Creativity is restrained while doing the the non-designer resume but the designer resume allows you to run free with your imagination, proving your worth as a  designer.

In your opinion, what is the difference between a designer’s resume vs. a non-designer’s resume

     I think a non-designer's resume has sole focus on theory where composing a resume is concerned. It pays more attention to content and organization of information. It is used to provide academic and other relevant social information such as experience and non-academic engagements with society.

     Conversely, I think a designer's resume has to encompass more than content and organization of information. This type of resume has to serve as a preview itself or proof of the designer's capabilities. As a result, creativity serves as an additional key element in creating a designer's resume.

In your opinion, what is the importance of planning before working on your artwork?

The 5 P's of success proper planning prevents poor performance, applies to all aspect of life. In designing, planing is rather important. Before attempting a artwork we sit and we brain storm and we plan the layout and approach of such a job as in may be different for every job. It is important to plan as you may fall off track somewhere in the design process, and may need to refer back to the planned outline for the design. Last but not least planning saves time and allows you to be more efficient.

In Your Opinion, What is the Importance of Planning Before Working on Your Art Work?

In my opinion planning before working on my art work makes me more prepared and organized. It helps me to compare and contrast my decisions on how to make my art work as successful as I really want. Planning is also a strong guide line for me. If I am doing an art work for a client, showing them my plans that I have penciled out would give the client a firm idea of what the art work is going to be like in the end. In advance, from showing them a negative or positive feedback from the client would really save me from making a mess or getting confused and becoming unsure in the final stage of the art work.
