Hi Delano,

When putting together a resume (as an artist or any other profession), you should consider one important thing – the resume is meant to get you an interview. Because an interview is the next step in the process. So my first reaction to your infographic resume is that it's a cool idea, but my second reaction is that it could probably work harder for you. It's apparent that you have many years of experience, and that you must have a ton of institutional knowledge. So here are my thoughts about what you can do to present your best self:

1. Even though Cooper Black has a certain retro appeal, I would not use it on your resume. Fonts say a lot about design choices, and I think Cooper can be a pretty polarizing one. Don't allow subjectivity to discount you so early in the process.
2. Your timeline is interesting, but I think it makes the reader work too hard. It took me a minute to realize I could roll over the bars and get more info. Since you have a lot of experience, I would consider changing this to a quick read of your positions over the past ten years, companies worked for, and the top brands you've worked on.
3. On a day-to-day basis, the summation of what you accomplish and offer an employer is a lot more than your tasks. So I feel that less is more with these things. Leave your long descriptions of tasks off and focus on key results, skills and learnings.
4. Combine your "Interests" with your "Skills." You've had experience with each of those interests, and so you should be telling employers that they can benefit from that. By labeling them as "Interests" you are telling me that they are just fun for you rather than core competencies. You know you can do these things – so own them!
5. Your symbols in the "My Stats" area are confusing. They don't really relate to anything in particular – so I would remove them. I would consider displaying the numbers as the big graphic, and in the case of the %s, I would show a big arrow next to the number. Make it easy to see how you kick butt.
6. I like your "Recommendations" section. I would lose the key descriptions under the title though. You have descriptions under each name. That is enough.
7. I also checked out your portfolio. There is some very good work in there, but I think you might be explaining too much. The key to your portfolio is intriguing employers enough to contact you. By explaining every part in the process, you could be letting them paint a picture of you that might be better painted in person.
8. I also checked out your personal artwork. Really nice stuff. I would display that side of you more in your professional portfolio. You may be thinking that as a studio artist, you need to be "all business." I think your work shows that you have a very nice eye for composing elements together, and that's a strength that employers should see.
9. Lastly, even though you mention 12 years of "digital media" experience in your "Skills" section, there's not a lot of evidence of that in your portfolio. I understand how that goes, because sometimes your end results don't always reveal what your actual skills are. But it is a digital world now, and you need to display that ability. So, either look through some of your work and see if there are some digital examples, or create some new ones from the work you've already done (i.e. - a banner ad campaign for Wicked). Or do some pro bono digital work that will allow you to build your portfolio. My guess is that you will get more interest if you show more digital results.

I wish you lots of luck, and let us know how it's going. Best, Matthew
