Such a ridiculous comment.
What possible ethical reasons do you have for trying to insure the purity of resumes and portfolios? Why can they not interbreed?
Portfolios authentically demonstrate ability in a way resumes cannot, hence either resumes should direct employers to portfolios or the designer should attempt to blur the forms (yes, the purpose of a design might be to add trustworthy information to a document in the form of visible proof of experience in the medium. As shown: an exchange of message clarity for message trustworthiness.)
- so_says 13y agolhnz, I agree with you, completely. A designer should be judged on how they present everything. ALL resumes should be considered an example of how they design, and thus part of their "portfolio." I have been a art director and seen many resumes in my tenure. If an applicant comes at the problem from a fresh angle, it is welcomed with open arms. A good art director or creative director can work with this to fix the issue of contact info being buried and whatnot, as others have pointed out. This is a great place to start!
