Default Graphic Design resume

Normally I don't apply for graphic design jobs, do you think I should try to make it look "designerly" by putting color and "elements" in it or just make it a regular resume, aka Times New Roman. :dunno:

Regular resume with samples of your work included. :slap:

Never make custom resumes or they will toss it out as frivolous crap.

What is important is your work in your portfolio, that's all I know. I :dunno:, ask Andy or asiandoood about this because they are graphic designers. I haven't even worked on my graphic design resume yet because I'm still in school.

Smartest thing you have posted yet. The resume itself should be standard format...nothing fancy and if they are interested in your work they will look at the portfolio.

Well, that's whay I always heard and that's what I've always done but then I saw a couple resumes for designers and they had color so I started to think maybe they want to see some style or something.

Thanks Andy, looks really nice. Simple with just a little style to show you care.
