Professional Design Resumes Consider where you are applying; a well-designed resume doesn’t have to be “flashy”. Consider fonts: Serifs are (usually) easier to read for body text. Whatever you go with be consistent. Software and technical skills are important—you will likely want this as a section on your resume. Artist Resumes Applying to get your work in galleries and competitions? Your resume will be the same format, but will include different sections. • Include exhibitions, residencies, competitions, awards, etc. Depending on your experience, this may be two pages.
