I don't know how many of you here are familiar with writing resumes. I certainly don't know much about it, but I need to write one to apply for an internship so, I would like some feedback if possible on the resume I just finished working on.

"Did numerous designs" could be "Designed a wide variety of graphics including..."

"Was also responsible" could be "Managed/oversaw projects to print completion"

"Concepted" should be "conceived."

The illustrations you did for AP should be under "Education," and you should also add any relevant art courses you've taken. And any other major projects/exhibitions should be in its own category as well. This template I found seems to be a good model: http://www.bestsampleresume.com/art-resumes.html

I think you worked TOO hard on this. I've always been told that my resumes need to be short and sweet and to the point. I don't think the flag would do anything as to whether they would accept your resume, I think it just takes up space. The people who review the resumes don't care what the resume looks like they want to know a little about you as a person, I mean they go through THOUSANDS of resumes a day and this layout would help you whatsoever, imo.

Well he's going -- I assume -- for a design internship. A lot of creative fields appreciate that kind of thing.

Take out "concepted." "Concepted" isn't a word. And your work history needs to be in reverse chronological order by end date, so it should be "Illustration Set" then KIWINS, then Glen Wilson HS (High School is two words!) then website logo. You need to do the same ordering to your education section, too.

Alright updated as to your suggestions. Thanks for the help.
