Independent CV Research: 50 inspiring resume designs: And what you can learn from them

There was a lot of helpful design tips in this article. I liked Micheal Long's CV because it's minimalistic but effective at showing key information.

"Ogilvy is a New York City-based British advertising, marketing and public relations agency. It started as a London advertising agency founded in 1850 by Edmund Mather, which in 1964 became known as Ogilvy & Mather after merging with a New York City agency that was founded in 1948 by David Ogilvy. It is part of the WPP Group, which is by revenue one of the largest marketing and communications companies in the world. The agency is known for its work with Dove, American Express, and IBM." (Wikipedia, 2018) I really like the 'Type with Pride' project that Ogilvy advertised. It was a really nice gesture for Gilbert Baker (The creator of the LGBTQ rainbow flag) to name the font after him after he passed away in 2017.
