I was up until about 12am last night conjuring up my fancy-schmancy individualistic artistic webdesigner resume, and I was thinking that it’d be rather nice to have a suitably artsy studio-shot photograph of myself included in the design. You know… the typical black&white artiste’s portrait shot in a completely black environment with one soft-light shone from the side and the framing tightly cropped. I’ve got a big black header thing on my resume, with my name and website written in thin sans-serif type… you know the look. Kinda like the black Apple Pro design (actually, I used Myriad Pro :P). I’d stick my photo in the header…

imho, if I was an employer, I’d like to see a photo… I dunno.

Opinions?

Oh and, no, I’m not posting my resume or photo here for anonymity and privacy reasons 😃
