About this course

This hands-on course teaches the information-design craft behind a visual resume, the difference between a decorative CV that gets binned and a one-page infographic that wins a six-second scan. You will build a single-column or two-column timeline, choose an honest skills visualisation (radar, bar, or dot matrix) over fake percentages, turn achievements into icon-led stat blocks with real numbers, and unify it all on a 12-column grid with a deliberate two-typeface, three-colour system. You will also adapt the visual into a 1584 by 396 pixel LinkedIn banner and, crucially, keep a parallel ATS-safe text resume so machines and humans both pass you through.
