I recently designed a simple resume website for a friend, and since he is very into social media as a communications professional, using flavors.me site made sense. We could store all aspects of his career info in sites that were best to do it in with: LinkedIn for a resume, Behance for a portfolio and even Instagram for his personal photography obsession. Plus it meant he could update it all himself. As far as the designs from flavor.me we loved the simple, egocentric aesthetic quality and pared down UI – as a self-promotional vehicle it gets right down to business with none of the cruft that comes along with using a blog.
While being limited to the flavor.me layout templates and an automatically resizing background, it became a nice exercise in playing with flat color & type with a bold image. Although he determined that this direction below might have been just too wild for his field (He’s a corporate communications manager), I had alot of fun with these designs along the way:
