PROJECT 1

Objective: In this first part of the assignment, you will focus on creating a UI design prototype for your digital resume or curriculum vitae (CV) using prototyping software such as Adobe XD or Figma. The UI design prototype will showcase the layout, visual elements, and user interface interactions of your digital resume.

Requirements:

1. Content and Structure:

• Prepare the content for your resume,
  including personal details, education, work experience, skills,
  projects, and other relevant sections.
  
• Decide on the order and hierarchy of
  sections based on their importance and relevance.

2. Layout and Visual Design:

• Design the layout of your digital resume using the chosen prototyping software. Define the placement of different sections and how they will flow together.
  
• Apply a consistent visual design using typography, color palette, and appropriate spacing.

3. Sections and Organization:

• Organize your resume into logical sections, such as "Profile," "Education," "Experience," "Skills," "Projects," and "Contact."
  
• Prioritize sections based on their relevance and significance to the position you're targeting

4. Visual Elements:

• Incorporate relevant images, icons, or placeholders that align with the content and enhance the visual appeal of your digital resume.

5. Prototype Presentation:

• Update your e-portfolio explaining and showcasing the processes of the task

Evaluation Criteria:

Your UI design prototype assignment will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Clarity and effectiveness of the UI design, layout, and visual elements.
  
• Appropriateness of the chosen typography, color palette, and imagery.

Before starting, I did some research on some existing CV resume examples and decided that I want to go for a simple layout, which organises my information neatly. Not only that, I followed a theme so it would have this consistent look throughout.

REFLECTION

Overall as the first project, I felt it was quite easy to complete as it was just a basic exercise, trying to help us develop skills on organizing information in a effective way for users to view. As a CV is needed for future job searching, it should always be remained neat and tidy, but at the same time consisting of all necessary information relating to you.
