Title:Infographic resume

Location:Anywhere

Job Description

Looking for someone to creat an infographic resume out of my regular (text-based) resume..

Willing to explore different directions, not in a hurry. Below is my brief:


Objectives:

1- Minimize text: my current resume has about 3 pages of text, I want to convert it to a 2 pages graphics.
2- Highlight Achievements: I'm a marketing specialist who've been having a successful careers, with achievements that I'd like to be obvious on my resume. Things like (Increased market share of product X from 23% to 30% in 1 year; or managed to make brand Y the market leader for the first time in its history; or Launched a new brand/ product for company Z leading an increase in profit by 25%; those are some examples of achievements that can be highlighted much better in graphics than in text.
3- Stand out: I'm planning for a move outside the country in a couple of months, so I'd really need something different to show potential employers in a country where I have no reputation.


Graphical Style & guidelines:

I have no restriction to a certain style, though it needs to look professional & modern. I also have the following guidelines in mind to inspire:

- Ease of reading is key. The last thing I want is something that looks nice, but too complicated to be read.
- A balance of nice graphics & comprehensive information. I'll be helping the freelancer on which informations are a "must" to have, & which that could go out.
- Sequence & structure: since it's a resume, it needs to have an easy to follow sequence. I was thinking of something like a timeline where in each year I show which company I worked for & what achievements I've accomplished. But PLEASE don't limit yourself to this idea, I'm open to hear more ideas from creative people.
- It's still a resume, not an ad: of the 3 attachments, the world-cup example could be the maximum "wildness" I could go for. I don't want it to look like an ad, or an over-do show-off. It's still a resume at the end of the day. I just want it to be a very unique resume.

I've also attached 3 examples of infographics that I thought to be close to what I'm looking for.


Delivery style:

Before going into graphics, I'd like the freelancer I work with to explain the idea first, maybe sketch it on a peace of paper, or share some examples of what he's planning to do.


Experience required:

I'd like to work with someone familiar with infographics & can show some examples of his work. I'm a very busy man & can't afford to "start a learning curve" with someone who hasn't done it before.

Bonjour!

I'd like to know how many pages are involved. Also, can you specify what kind of layout you are looking for? Classical or really different?

Kind Regards, Nathalie

Hi,
I'd like it to be different. It's currently 2.5 pages in text, I'd like it to be maximum 2 pages in graphics.
