In this 2- to 3-hour project, students create a resume for a historical or otherwise famous person using Adobe InDesign. Students translate biographical information into a professional one-page resume designed to make the perfect first impression.
Because InDesign enables students to create professional and unique page layouts, this project empowers students to use visual emphasis to convey information succinctly. You can adapt this project to multiple disciplines, and students can work individually or in small groups.
This project was created by Amaris Ketcham, an Adobe Master Teacher and Associate Professor of interdisciplinary liberal arts at the University of New Mexico Honors College.
