Bright colors can make your resume page look lively, but you must pay attention to the adjustment of brightness. Too bright colors can cause reading difficulties and even visual fatigue. If you choose a high brightness color, you can use black as shown in the above picture, or only use it in some areas.

2. Intuitively show personal strengths

You can integrate your own works into the header design, or design an element specially to show your strengths intuitively. Erica Zipoli, an illustrator, added illustration design to the header to show her professional ability.

If there is no work suitable for header design, you can design one specially. Of course, you can also use the template provided by us.

3. Self-portrait

You can also replace the traditional professional design with vivid personal portrait design, just as the designer Shireesha Siri did in this example. If you don't like this way, you can also match your personal logo or name design with a lively background to increase the interest of your resume.

4. Texture design

Like Phuong Huynh, you can quickly add visual interest to your resume by incorporating texture design into the background. Remember to print a paper version of your resume before sending it, because the person who receives the email may print it out, so make sure that your texture design can be well presented after printing.

Step 5 keep it simple

This resume designed by Laura Lee Moreau is both concise and charming. It only used some basic shapes and fonts to design such a generous and neat header. We can also notice that she only used her initials to create a very simple personal symbol.

6, personal logo

If you have your own personal brand, you can add a personalized logo design to the header, just like this header designed by Laura Salinas. But if you don't have your own logo and want to create one yourself, you can try to add an initial design.
