Visual Resume

This morning I created an updated resume in Mindomo and when I had finished I was thinking to myself, "Where have I seen this before?" and I went diving back to my dusty, dusty archives.

13 years ago, I had been deeply into Visual Communication, but unguided. I created a non-linear resume to shop around to the agencies. It was pooh-poohed at the time because it didn't make any sense to anyone who wasn't me. Click my photo for the enlargement. I had iconed each section with the appropriate icon, so the eye could determine what each section was represented, and I drew lines connecting the different islands in a meaningful fashion. Education to Art School to Production Art, School to Teaching Jobs etc. Now years later, I've done nearly the same thing, but this time there is the added dimension of time and visual motion.

After a long hiatus of living and working, I find myself drawn back to Visual Communication and pleased that the tools have been created to allow me express my what I had attempted to do so long ago
