My Critique

A resume and flier have to stand out and be different from others to catch the reader's eye. For The flier, the creator chose to change the font a lot. The size of the font changes from the body to the headlines and subheadlines. It’s a good idea to do that because when you have your flier on a bulletin board in a busy hall you want it to catch as much eyes as possible. So you should have maybe add color in the flier, have unique fonts in your paragraphs anything for it to standout.

The big “S” is loud and the title reads “Siren Call” so its a play on words. The creator did that on purpose and wanted to stress the Loudness in the flier. It also took out white space.

The piece give you an Elegant clean look. The font was more of an old time font . You might see that font in an old book. It gave a classy look. You could tell that flier had nothing to do with sports or guys in general. it had a preferred audience.

The Picture gave the flier its on sexy look. The picture goes along with the font. The picture makes you want to read the paragraph because you want to know why and who is that girl in the picture and what does she have to do with anything.

The resume was very unique and you could tell what kind of job the person was going for without reading too much into her resume. You could tell that her resume layout was more on an entertainment. Her resume looked like a broadway play flier. She used her name as a design layout as well.When she split the resume in half with her “I” in her name. That made the resume look longer then what it was. It made the words pop off the page.

Another great layout idea the person did was  putting the words like a pattern. It made the reader focus their eyes on certain parts. Her skills were put in a certain way of how the number of letters were even used. Lastly she put her skills first. Meaning she believes that's of the most important things about her.She wanted that to stand out and have the reader be amazed.

There have been similar layouts in resume designs , it’s good to not just go with the basic format. You want your resume to link with your job your going for. So if you were handing in a resume for a movie it’s a good thing to throw in some movie encorporated items in your resume. Catch the persons eye and make it seem like you are different from everyone else trying to get the job. You want him to remember your resume after he prob gets 100 a day.

I believe both the flier and the resume had their own touch to them and showed their personalities without saying it. The resume could of added a picture to it for one final touch just so it wasn’t all black and white.
