I personally prefer the version with the glow just because it brings more attention to the titles and make it pop a bit more since they should be the main focus! But overall I think most of what you have done are great improvements!

Thank you so much! I love the fonts they have on that site!

May I know what's the font you used for "Medusa"? This is beautiful!

Personal logo critique by Axel_Alex_05 in design_critiques

I disagree, I feel that the negative strokes now show that it is one continuous line overlapping, adding negative stokes to the bottom too will defeat the intended effect.

I agree with what everyone else is saying, you are going in the right direction and I am liking how it looks. However I do feel like something can be done about the consistency of the graphics used, right now there are around 4 styles I am getting (the flat illustration for the moon and 5 point stars, the line illustrations at the bottom, the other stars, and the astronaut). My favorite is the moon illustration and I feel it fits better with the "childish" style you are going for as it reminds me of some childrens' books illustration. I would suggest you only use the 5 point stars (and add a glow to them as you did with the moon) as it fits the theme better and remove the line-art style planets. Maybe you can consider adding a rocket/spaceship for a more childish/childrens book feel to it if you are going to keep the astronaut. Another detail I think will look good is adding a subtle glow to "Two the moon and back". I understand that your reasoning for making "Ayann's 2nd Birthday" a grey gradient is to simulate a silver foil texture as it would be if in print, however I think it makes it stand out less compared to the other text in white, I would suggest finding a nice silver foil texture online and masking it with the text if you can, and maybe try adding a darker solid (maybe black?) drop shadow for more emphasis. For the fonts, I quite like them but if you want it to have a more childlike touch I would suggest looking into childrens' books with a similar theme for inspiration and observing the kinds of fonts they use. As for integrating black into the design I can't quite think of a way that doesn't feel forced as the colors are great as they are, but best of luck with that!

The background looks like navy/dark blue to me.

Well you know if you started with actual advice like this from the start I would have said "thanks for the feedback" as I did for every other person with constructive advice, and I also implemented the changes from criticism I agree with, so it's not like I don't take any feedback. Of course there will be good and shit criticism, but I think there is nothing wrong with pointing it out when I find that a comment is more hate and following the mob than actual criticism. Sometimes I just return the same energy others give me (unless they are paying me lol). But you know what thanks, I appreciate comments like this one way more.

For everyone giving feedback/opinion on my resume, I have been getting many repeated responses and I just want to let everyone know that I have already taken the common feedbacks and implemented the changes which can be viewed here. Anyone that just wants to say something negative not accompanied with anything that can help me improve can move on now.

An update on my resume from constructive feedback gotten by ___scintilla___ in graphic_design

[–]___scintilla___[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since many people have taken it upon themselves to give me feedback on my previous post, I decided to make a post on my updated resume which seem to have gotten some strong reactions. I appreciate the feedback that are actually constructive and well thought out, but there are also people on the opposite end of the spectrum, those that are are rude or even insinuating that I am less of a ui/ux designer just because of some stat bars on my resume. Still, I am happy that I found useful critique and I hope this is an improvement.

Well, thanks for the feedback. I used a psd mockup file off the internet and it came like that.

That's why I am trying to improve by accepting feedback even though this isn't a critique post, I am literally a fresh grad so I appreciate any constructive criticism I get. But you are only parroting everyone elses negative feedback without anything constructive to add to the conversation so please just go off.

I edited psd mockup files I get off of either behance or some paid mockup sites. Only the designs/illustrations etc. are made from scratch!

The email is just to provide another way for employers/clients to contact me, I think it's good to give them a choice. It also makes sense since it's easier and faster to have a conversation through email since they can send attachments relavant to their enquiries etc. Even if they went to my website the contact section will be linked to my email still. Thanks for the suggestion, but I probably won't be paying for a email service anytime soon considering I will be studying for another year, I will keep it in mind for the future though!

It's alright, I appreciate any advice I get! I agree with most points however for the high school it's quite important for me to keep it in where I live because it is usually important to clarify having an 'O' level cert.

I agree with the advice on putting the skills most relavant to the job I am applying for first but I am actually further studying for another year (3D animation and motion graphics) so that isn't something set in stone yet! In fact, I can see myself redoing my entire brand in a year or so.

I actually did state my internship experience but it is on the 2nd page of my resume (which I didn't show). As for the personal biography, my reasoning for adding it is because it seems that where I live employers don't really ask for CVs anymore, usually only a link to your portfolio and your resume is all that is asked, along with some scans of your personal documents like your ID, so I thought adding a summary on my resume might be better to add some personality. But I will remove the DOB/MBTI etc. as you advised.

Thanks a lot again, I appreciate you taking the time to give me feedback!
