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.

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:
