Working With Tables in React, Part One

Posted: 31 Dec 2020 09:57 AM PST

One of the most common user interface elements for presenting your data is a table. It turns out that there are many aspects to control when working with tables, such as:

  • defining columns and headers
  • various cell formats (text, numbers, check boxes)
  • resizing
  • filtering
  • dynamic growing
  • styling

In this two-part series, you will learn about the ins and outs of working with tabular data in React using the React Bootstrap Table component. You'll be able to create sophisticated and professional-looking tables with little effort and yet be able to customize every aspect.

Getting Started  

 

To start, you should be familiar with React itself. If you need a primer on React, Envato Tuts+ has a great series to help you get started with React. In this tutorial, we'll focus on working with React Bootstrap Table2.

To start, create a react app with the create-react-app command. You can learn how to set create-react-app up in React Crash Course for Beginners.

now navigate to the project folder and install React Bootstrap Table 2 and Bootstrap.

Create a Basic Table

We will start with a basic table. We first import the BootstrapTable component and CSS as shown below.

First, we initialize the data and column variables and then assign the data to the BootstrapTable component.  The data contains the names of some characters from the hilarious show Arrested Development

The Bootstrap component takes in the following attributes.

  • keyField
  • data
  • columns

The render() method renders a table with three columns: "ID", "Name", and "Value".

To view the table, issue the command, npm start--reload. The configuration created by create-react-app watches over your code and recompile whenever you change anything, so you only need to run it once. Then, every change will automatically be reflected.

Here is the result:

basic table

Note that each column has exactly the same width.

Working With Columns

You can control many aspects of the columns. In particular, the column widths can be specified in absolute units,, as percentages, or left unspecified. The column width of unspecified columns is the remainder divided equally. For example, for our basic table, let's specify the columns as follows:

  • first column: 20%
  • first column: 60%
  • first column: 20%

You can also manage the alignment of text and columns as well as the style of headers and columns. Here is an example of how to specify different column widths, text alignment, and custom styles:

The table now looks like this:

column sizing

Styling Your Table

You saw how to style individual columns and headers, but styling can go much further. React Bootstrap Table 2 provides a lot of options for customization. First, you can simply add the striped and hover attributes to the BootstrapTable component to get alternate background colors on each row.

Let's apply the striped and hover properties to our table.

striped table

Check out how you would style different columns with different colors.

colored columns

Table Sort

React Bootstrap Table 2 allows sortable columns. This is done by giving an attribute  of sort: true in the columns definition.

Selecting Rows

Once you have your data in a table, you may want to select some rows to perform some operations on them. React Bootstrap Table 2 provides a wide variety of selection options. All the options are organized in a single object you pass to the component as the selectRow attribute. Here are some of the selection options:

  • single selection mode (radio button)
  • multi-selection mode (checkbox)
  • configurable column selection width
  • select on row click: by default you must click the selector (radio button or checkbox)
  • hide selection column (useful if select on row click is true)
  • change background color on selection
  • initial selected rows
  • selection hooks (on single row or when all rows are selected).

The following components demonstrate many of these options:

edit the table

Other Libraries for Data Tables in React

Lets explore other open-source React table libraries.

react-virtualized

react-virtualized is  perfect for displaying a large amount of data efficiently when rendering large lists and tabular data.

react-virtualized uses a technique called virtual rendering to display extensive data efficiently. Virtual rendering only renders what is visible. For example, if you have a large list that contains a thousand items, react-virtualized will only show a fraction of the data (ones that fit on the screen) at any given moment the ones that fit on the screen) until the user scrolls to show more. Other features include:

  • supports rendering of grids, lists, tables, masonry, and collections
  • ability to auto-resize components
  • ability to display items in reverse order
  • ability to customize CSS classes and styles

react-table

react-table is a  lightweight open-source library that allows for fast and extendable datagrids for React. It also supports hooks. Some of its best features include:

  • highly customizable 
  • supports sorting, filters, row selection, column ordering, and row expansion
  • fully controllable API
  • animatable and virtualizable
  • resizable
  •  

React Data Grid

React Data Grid is another open-source library that uses bootstrap and is perfect for editing tables. It also has a stunning UI. Features include:

  • column sorting, searching, filtering, and grouping
  • ability to edit columns
  • expand columns to show more data

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we created a simple React application using react-create-app, added react-bootstrap-table2, populated a table with data, worked with columns, styled the table, and selected rows. 

In the next part, we'll continue the journey by expanding rows, adding rows, deleting rows, and covering pagination, cell editing, and advanced customization. Stay tuned.

What You'll Learn in This Pastel Gradient Tutorial

  • How to create a pastel gradient background in Illustrator
  • How to create a pastel gradient background in Photoshop

What You'll Need

You will need the following image in order to create a pastel blue gradient background:

1. How to Create a Pastel Gradient Background in Illustrator

Step 1

Hit Control-N to create a new document. Select Pixels from the Units drop-down menu, enter 1920 in the width box and 1080 in the height box, and then click that More Settings button. Select RGB for the Color Mode, set the Raster Effects to Screen (72 ppi), and then click Create Document.

new document illustrator

Step 2

Pick the Rectangle Tool (M) and create a shape the size of your artboard (1920 x 1080 px). You can do this manually or you can click on the artboard to open the Rectangle window. Enter the size values and then click OK.

Let's start with the most basic method that you can use to create a pastel aesthetic background. Make sure that your rectangle is selected, open the Gradient panel (Window > Gradient), and click the gradient thumbnail to apply the default black to white linear gradient.

Double-click the left gradient color and change it to R=131 G=132 B=240, and then double-click the right gradient color and change it to R=251 G=231 B=185. Simply click on the gradient bar to add a third gradient color, set the Location to 50%, and change the color to R=244 G=145 B=220.

You can set the angle of this pastel pink gradient from the Gradient panel, or you can select the Gradient Tool (G) from your toolbar and adjust the angle of the gradient directly on the shape.

Step 3

The second type of gradient that you can use to create a pastel aesthetic wallpaper is a radial gradient. You can easily apply one using the button from the Gradient panel.

Pick the Gradient Tool (G) to adjust the size of this gradient and use that black dot handle to squeeze or stretch the gradient as you wish.

pastel radial gradient

Step 4

The third type of gradient that you can use to create a pastel aesthetic background is a freeform gradient. You can easily apply one using the button from the Gradient panel.

Illustrator will add four color stops to your rectangle. Select the color stops one by one and adjust the colors as shown below.

freeform gradient

Step 5

You can always add a new color stop with a simple click, or you can delete a selected color stop.

Using the circular area around the color stop, you can increase or decrease the spread of that color. This value can also be adjusted from the Gradient panel. Select the bottom left color stop, and increase the Spread to 100%.

Simply click and drag a color stop to change its location.

freeform gradient color stop

Step 6

Another way of creating a pastel gradient wallpaper is by using a mesh.

Create a rectangle that covers your entire artboard and make sure that it stays selected. Pick the Mesh Tool (U) from your toolbar and click in the center of your selection to turn your shape into a mesh. Now you can easily select these mesh points and change their colors as you wish.

Switch to the Direct Selection Tool (A) to select the leftmost mesh points and change the color to R=107 G=245 B=202. Select the rightmost mesh points and set the color to R=253 G=225 B=186. Then select the middle mesh points and change the color to R=252 G=128 B=180.

Step 7

With your mesh and the Mesh Tool (U) still selected, add a new point as shown in the first image.

Switch to the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the mesh points highlighted in the second image, and change the color to R=235 G=240 B=168.

color mesh point

Step 8

If you want to adjust the position of a mesh point or a mesh point handle, simply click and drag it using the Direct Selection Tool (A).

Pick the Anchor Point Tool (Shift-C) when you want to drag a mesh point handle independently or when you want to click a mesh point and drag new handles.

mesh point adjust

Step 9

Let's add a subtle texture to this mesh. Select it and press Control-G to Group it.

Make sure that your group stays selected, open the Appearance panel (Window > Appearance), and add a new fill using the Add New Fill button.

Select it and set the color to black (R=0 G=0 B=0), and then lower its Opacity to 70% and change the Blending Mode to Overlay.

add new fill

Step 10

With that black fill still selected, go to Effect > Sketch > Reticulation. Enter the settings shown in the following image and then click OK.

2. How to Create a Pastel Gradient in Photoshop

Step 1

Let's start with the most basic method that you can use to create a pastel gradient in Photoshop.

Create a 1920 x 1080 px document and select the Gradient Tool (G) from your toolbar, and then click the gradient thumbnail from the control panel to open the Gradient Editor.

Double-click the left gradient slider and change the color to R=131 G=132 B=240, and then double-click the right gradient slider and change the color to R=251 G=231 B=185. Click somewhere close to the bottom edge of the gradient bar to add a third gradient slider. Select this new color stop, set the Location to 50%, and change the color to R=244 G=145 B=220.

Once you're done, you can click the New button to save your pastel gradient in the Presets panel, which will make it a lot easier to use it later.

Click OK to close the Gradient Editor panel. Focus on your canvas, and drag a path from the bottom left corner to the top right corner to easily apply your pastel pink gradient.

Step 2

Alternatively, you can apply a pastel gradient on a layer using the Layer Style dialog box.

Move to the Layers panel (Window > Layers) and add a second layer using the Create New Layer button.

Double-click this new layer to open the Layer Style dialog box, and enable the Gradient Overlay. Click the gradient thumbnail and select your saved gradient from that list, and then feel free to adjust the angle or the other properties as you need.

layer style gradient editor

Step 3

The second type of gradient that you can use to create a pastel gradient background is a radial gradient.

You can easily switch to a Radial gradient using the Style dropdown menu. Keep in mind that you can manually adjust the cente point of the gradient directly on the canvas. Simply click and drag to change this location.

layer style radial gradient

Step 4

Besides linear and radial gradients, in Photoshop you can also apply Angle gradients, Reflected gradients, or Diamond gradients.

Step 5

The Gradient Overlay technique can also be used to apply a pastel gradient to a photo.

Download this Heavy clouds from above photo and drag it inside your document. Double-click this new layer in the Layers panel to open the Layer Style dialog box and activate the Gradient Overlay.

Apply your saved gradient and change the Blending Mode to Hard Light to make the gradient blend with the photo.

Step 6

You can always try different gradients or blend modes. Feel free to use this pastel rainbow gradient or look for the best gradient combinations that suit your need.

20+ Creative Resume CV Design Tips (With Template Examples for 2021)

Posted: 31 Dec 2020 07:01 AM PST

Are you hunting for that dream role at a creative company? You'll need to dust off your old creative resume or CV and give it a modern refresh. 

But how can you make sure that—out of all the applicants—it's your resume that catches your future employer's eye? 

Creative Resume Format
Creative Resume Format from Envato Elements.

Today we look at eleven creative resume design tips for overhauling the format, layout, and structure of your resume. We also share creative resume examples and templates throughout the post, visually demonstrating these resume design tips in action so you can readily put them to work for you.

When you're ready to create your own resume, check out this tutorial on designing a creative resume in Adobe InDesign. You can also browse the full selection of creative CV examples at Envato Elements and creative resume templates at GraphicRiver to get even more inspiration. 

Quick Creative Resume CV Design Tips & How Tos (Video)

Are you ready to start learning some resume CV Design Tips? Watch this quick video to find out 10 tips for creating or updating your own creative resume.

Or, study the complete written tutorial below for even more tips.

Tip 1. Use Columns to Maximize on Space

One thing that's an absolute nightmare for employers tasked with trawling through resumes by the bucketload is encountering resumes that are more than one page long. 

Sure, you might want to go into detail about that part-time training course you took seven years ago. But, frankly, all your future employer wants to know is how that qualification is relevant to the job you're applying for. 

The best advice for how to design a resume/CV? Keep it short and sweet. Edit out qualifications and details that are irrelevant to the role. You'll find that editing your text down to fill just one page is tricky, but it's well worth it. You'll appear concise, organized and you'll also be highlighting only the most important, and best, information about yourself. This is going to make your resume easy-to-digest and a doddle to print (you're welcome, environment). 

But how can you even begin to fit all your wonderful achievements on just one sheet of paper?

There are some creative CV/resume design techniques you can use to maximize the space on your one page, without forcing the layout to feel overcrowded. One tip is to try splitting your resume layout into two sections, with a narrow column running down the left- or right-side of the page, as shown below:

Creative Resume Format
Creative Resume Format example with functional columns and organized layout format.

Place shorter sections of information, like a brief bio, skills, software competencies, languages and contact details in the column, along with a photo in the same column. Switch up the background color of the column to keep it visually distinctive.

Placing more detailed chunks of information, such as your job experience, education and qualifications, in the other wider column will help maximize the limited space available in your creative resume layout.

Tip 2. Resume Layout Structure Is All-Important

Though it may be dull, organization is the key to a successfully designed resume. You want the design of your creative resume format to be well planned and organized.

Once you've edited down your content to one-page's worth, visually separate that information into digestible chunks. Imagine you've been sitting at your desk looking at resumes all day. You sure aren't going to linger long over someone's essay-long summary of the internship they did last summer. 

Don't lump all your information together. Use a grid structure for your layout, with columns and rows, visual dividers and white space to section out all the data you're presenting to the reader. This will also make it much easier for them to refer to individual items of information in conversation with a colleague or during an interview. 

Make your creative resume a pleasure to read, not a chore. Keeping your information visually organized is going to help you achieve this. 

Take a look at this simple-yet-striking resume template, and particularly at how the information is sectioned up.

Structured Resume Template
Clean, well-formatted Creative Resume Template.

This creative resume layout is based on a simple grid structure with two columns, and plenty of white space. The different sections are clearly marked out and divided from each other with subheadings and lines.

It may seem a "well, duh!" sort of tip, but you'd be amazed at how many people crowd their resumes with waffle. Be brave and clinical. Create a resume that's as well-organized as the company's filing system. It'll say something about your personality to your potential employer—your organizational skills and efficiency being immediately clear.

Tip 3. Put the Impressive Stuff Above the Fold

The term above the fold comes from the world of newspapers and refers to the top half of a folded newspaper, the area that people see first before. This top half is prime real estate and so the most important news items are placed there. 

The same principle applies when approaching how to design a CV/resume as well. The top half is the area your potential employer will see and focus on first. So, don't waste space with huge headers for your name and contact details across the top of the page.

This creative resume template make good use of the space above the fold.

This creative resume format uses a personalized header but consigned it to the left column, so that the summary and work experience fit above the fold. 

Tip 4. Include Direct Links To Your Social Media Profiles

Consider including direct links to your social media profiles or your website. More than likely, the recruiters will search your name online to get a sense of your past work or experiences. Don't leave it to chance and instead make it easy for them to find you online.

Tip 5. Combine Different Fonts

Using only one font throughout your resume would result in a pretty boring resume design. There are thousands of beautiful and free or low cost fonts available online. So, there's no excuse to stick to the same old boring fonts everyone else is using.

Consider using one font for creative resume headings and one font for your body text. You can also experiment with different font weights.

Combine Different Fonts
Combining two different fonts together will help you establish a nice hierarchy and make your resume easier to read like in this creative resume example

Tip 6. Catch the Eye With Resume Infographics

Infographic design details are a great way of introducing a more unique look to your resume, while looking data-driven and professional.

How to achieve the infographic look? First, divide your resume layout up into a grid with two columns and four or five rows. Focus on placing one section of 'data' into each square of the grid, whether that's your list of awards and certificates, or your educational history.

Transform each section of data into its own individual infographic.

Try transforming your list of past jobs into an experience timeline, ordered chronologically. Use graphic icons to represent different skills or hobbies. (Take a look at the huge range of free icons available at flaticon.com if you don't fancy creating your own from scratch.) 

Use the shape tools in your design software of choice to create simple charts and graphs to represent your language skills or software experience.

Check out this simple tutorial on creating your own infographic elements in Adobe InDesign. Use them to embellish your resume layout.

One final tip for infographic styles—keep your colors pared-back, neutral and minimal. With all those graphic elements going on, you'll want to keep the design looking ultra-professional. 

Tip 7. Make a Nod to Your Profession

Odds are, you're looking for a role that'll make good use of your skillset. If this is the case, fine-tune the design of your resume to make a nod to your chosen profession.

For example, if you're a publishing designer, make your resume look a little bookish. Use classic typefaces like Caslon and Baskerville. Structure the layout to mimic a beautifully typeset book page.

If you're a web designer, take inspiration from this digital-inspired resume template and give your layout a digital-inspired design with neon pops of color, data-like icons and bars, and a precise, clean-cut layout. Just like a beautifully designed web page, right?

Use your creative resume as an opportunity to show off your design skills in practice. This will make the look of your resume a great talking point at the interview stage and will showcase your enthusiasm for your career of choice. 

Tip 8. Know When to Keep It Simple

So, I've encouraged you so far to get creative with grids, infographics and colors on your resume. But there's also a time and a place for minimal, simple design. 

Perhaps the role you're applying for is more administrative, even if it's within a creative company, or the company isn't so much a youthful start-up but more an established, formal enterprise. Applying for a role at an architecture firm or marketing company? Perhaps a more stripped-back resume design would be more fitting.

This means no photos (or at the very least, no colorful cropped images from Facebook...but I'm trusting you wouldn't subject any future employer to those anyway), no graphics, and no colors that'll give a CEO a headache.

Take a lesson from this wonderfully minimal resume template:

Minimal Resume Template
Minimal Resume Template example from Envato Elements. The photo can easily be removed.

Choose a classic sans serif typeface and keep the structure of your minimal resume conventional. Flush type to align left, to keep your text traditional in style. Allow for white space to make the whole design appear serene and professional. Use simple, thin lines (look to the Stroke Tools in Adobe software) to divide sections of content into manageable chunks. Use color sparingly—as a little pop of blue to mark out subheadings catches the eye without being overbearing.

Tip 9. Create a Personal Brand

If you're sending a portfolio, resume, and cover letter to apply for your dream creative role, think about how you can make all the elements of your application look more unified and professional. Treating your job application as an exercise in branding is a great way to both elevate your application to the next level and prove to your future employer that you can be creative while working within a set of brand rules.

Before you begin creating your portfolio, resume, and cover letter, lay down some simple rules for your personal brand. 

First, consider creating your own personal logo, like in this slick resume example. Try designing a simple icon using your initials and a simple shape or border. Apply the logo to the cover page of all your application documents.

logo or icon
Simple personal branding element example.

Secondly, you need to think about being consistent with your choice of typeface and how you format your text. 

Choose a simple, legible sans serif for jobs in digital-related fields (take Aller for a spin). Or go for a serif (you can't go wrong with Caslon or Garamond) if the role is more traditional. 

Set rules for how you format headers, sub-headings and body text. Apply consistent text sizing and alignment throughout all your documents.

Finally, a brand is really pulled together by a consistent use of color. Take a look at this colorful resume and portfolio template, which features a bold, four-color palette that's applied consistently across all the pages, with geometric shapes used to tie together the elements and create unusual grid sections for placing text and images.

Create a complementary color palette in your software of choice and stick to it! (In Adobe programs, expand the Swatches panel and create new CMYK swatches, before saving them as a Swatch Library.)

To take your branding exercise to the next level, design your portfolio website to match your brand look, so that the impressive unified effect isn't lost when the employer checks you out online.

Tip 10. Match the Company's Colors

Another strategy, and one that's the complete opposite to Tip 9 above, is to have your resume match the brand of the company you're applying to. This may seem counter-intuitive but by applying the company's fonts, colors, style, etc. to your own resume. It shows you did your research and are passionate about the company and about working for it. This is how to design a resume that stands apart from the competition. It's the kind of creative, out of the box thinking that'll get you noticed.

Tip 11. Make It Personal

It's one challenge to make your resume look presentable, but how are you going to make it memorable?

What's going to give the reader a lasting impression of your personality without you being physically present? After all, you won't even get to the interview stage if your resume is instantly forgettable.

To make it unforgettable, think of ways to inject personality into your resume. This can partly be content-based. Try sharing your hobbies and interests outside of work, or presenting a short bio in a punchy, informal way.

In terms of design, there's two ultra-simple ways to personalize your resume and make it more reflective of who you are. 

The first is to add your personal signature to the design. 

Signing your name is personal and intimate and makes a nice nod to tradition in this overwhelmingly digital age. If your signature's illegible or downright messy, use a handwritten typeface to set your name instead. Try out Harabara Hand or Jimmy Script.

Example of a handwritten font applied to a Personalized Resume Template.

Guaranteed this will make your name more memorable than if it's set in plain ol' Helvetica.

The other thing you can do to personalize your resume is to include a photo. 

A word of caution—don't just pop in any old photo and hope that'll cut the mustard

Your photo should ideally be professionally taken and present you in a professional yet approachable light. A warm smile is great but avoid manic laughter. Equally, a stony-faced, serious photo could be off-putting to an employer looking for a team-player. A professional photographer will put you at ease and produce photos that look natural. 

Adjusting color photos to black-and-white (apply a Black & White Adjustment Layer to your color photo in Adobe Photoshop), like in this clean resume template, also adds an extra-professional touch.

Tip 12. Want to Be Really Creative? Go Digital!

Print resumes have an old-fashioned charm and many companies will take it as a given that your application will be in a printable format. Sometimes you need to push the boundaries.

If you've been eyeing up a designer role at that ultra-creative start-up, you're going to need to show your employer that you can think outside of the box. Most start-ups have a tech-forward ethos. This creates the perfect opportunity for you to show off your web design skills. Hey, even if you're lacking in coding prowess there are still loads of simple ways to customize personal website templates to make them your own. 

Moving your resume onto a digital platform allows you to get creative with your presentation. 

You can now integrate interactive content into your resume, such as animation and video. They also happen to be incredibly convenient for your employer to access. No fiddly email attachments or postal application, just click and go. Make sure your site is mobile-responsive in case they decide to check you out on their morning commute.

This uber-professional resume portfolio theme is a fantastic example of integrating a resume, cover letter and portfolio into one slick web page:

The dark background and minimal design keep the page from looking overly gimmicky or geeky. (We're looking at you, Robby Leonardi. Who am I kidding, his video game-inspired resume is awesome!)

If you're trying to convince your future boss of your technical skills, moving your resume onto a digital platform (or even better, creating both a hard and soft copy of your application—you'll have no complaints) is the perfect way of showcasing your digital skill set, before you've even got to the interview!

Tip 13. Balance Creativity and Professionalism

In this article I've shared with you a few tips for how you can give your resume a modern refresh, and how to make your application memorable and impressive. 

A final—and arguably most important—tip is to strike a fine-tuned balance between creativity and professionalism in your resume design. 

Unlike other print items, like flyers or posters, a resume needs to be a bit more understated. 

simple resume layout
Minimal Resume Template - example of understated creativity.

Before they've even met you in person an employer will make judgments about your personality and professional capabilities based on the look of your resume alone. So, make sure those first impressions are as positive as possible, which will improve your chances of getting to the interview stage (where you'll, of course, wow the interviewer with your sparkling personality). 

Choosing an elegant, legible typeface and setting it nicely on the page will have more positive impact than a layout weighed down with gradients, eyesore colors and novelty fonts. Show off your creative side in a subtle way, by proving that you know when there's a time and a place for being ultra-experimental...and for some jobs you may apply for a professional resume isn't the place to do it. 

Move away from loading down your resume with creative effects. Focus more on how you can improve the reader's experience of your application.

Infographic-Style Resume Templates can improve the reader's experience.

Structuring the content of your resume, developing a personal brand, or moving your resume onto a digital platform will prove to potential employers that you can problem-solve, and present information in a memorable, skillful way. 

Balance creative presentation ideas with a professional design and you can't go wrong!

Tip 14. Don't Ignore the Cover Letter

Taking the time to perfect your resume is normal if you want to get it right. But, don't ignore the cover letter and make it an afterthought. It's important to dedicate the same amount of time to the cover letter to make sure you're tailoring it to the position and the company you're applying to. 

Fonts and colors should be consistent with those used on your resume. The tone of voice should be professional. Although you'll want to make sure not to sound like you're copying and pasting the same information over and over. 

Keep the cover letter short and to the point — around three paragraphs is usually a good rule of thumb to follow. 

If you're wondering how to design an engaging cover letter, you're in luck. Many resume templates on Envato Elements and GraphicRiver come with a matching cover letter. So, you don't have to waste time trying to mimic the design of your resume.

Tip 15. Emphasize Your Contact Information

According to one study from The Ladders, recruiters won't spend more than six seconds on any given resume. That's why your contact information needs to visually stand out from the rest of your resume.

You could use a background color to emphasize it or you could include your photo. Or, include a logo if you've got one. 

Another tip to make this section visually stand out more is to use icons for your social media profiles, email address, and phone number.

Tip 16. Make the Content Easy to Scan

Tied to the tip above, make sure the content of your resume is easy to scan. This is where brevity and proper formatting come into play. Use short sentences and bullet points to make the information easy to skim through. That way, recruiters can easily tell if you've got the necessary skills and education for the job you're applying for. 

Using lines or section dividers as well as creative resume headings and icons are also great ways to make your resume more scannable. Consider this template that not only uses headings, lines, and bullet points but also plenty of white space to make the content easy to scan and digest.

Tip 17. Use a Different Layout

If you're applying for a job in a creative industry, consider using a horizontal layout instead of a vertical one. This isn't common practice. So, it's a great way to stand out and immediately catch the attention of the recruiters. 

On top of that, you might be able to include more information on your resume without worrying about going over the one-page limit rule. Take a look at how this template experiments with a horizontal layout for an effective resume.

Tip 18. Get Creative With Photos

If you're applying for a job in a creative industry or if you need to showcase your photography skills, using a photo background on your resume is a great way to make your resume more unique. Few applicants will think of this. So, you're sure to capture the attention of recruiting officers and share your talent and skills in an original way.

Tip 19. Go Black and White

Consider a traditional and classic look with a black and white template. Turn your photo to black and white for a more dramatic effect. You can also use a grey background to draw attention to areas of your resume that cover your skills or your contact details. This effect is a great choice if you're applying for a corporate position or for a position in a high-end, luxury industry.

Tip 20. Add Color to Power Words

Make the power words in your resume stand out by using color. Power words are keywords that recruiters will scan for so they can immediately see relevant information. They include resume sections such as skills, education, and experience. Those words can mean all the difference between your resume getting noticed or winding up in the bin. 

Apply the color directly to the heading, create a colored border around the heading, or add a colored shape to act as a background for that particular heading.

Tip 21. Proofread Everything

Last but not least, make sure you proofread your resume at least once before sending it off. After all, the last thing you want is to spend all that time coming up with the perfect design and not checking for typos and other grammar errors. 

If you're not confident in your grammar skills, use a tool like Grammarly to check your resume for you. 

How to Quickly Design Your Resume in Photoshop

Now that you're armed with resume design tips, it's time to customize a resume template so you can start applying for jobs. 

For the purposes of this tutorial, I'll be using the CV Resume Template from Envato Elements. 

CV Resume Template

This resume has a clean and creative CV design and comes with a matching cover letter.

1. Add Your Information

The first step is to replace the dummy information with your own. To do this, open the resume in Photoshop and make sure that the Text tool is selected. Then, click anywhere on the text, select it with CTRL+A or CMD+A. Start typing your own information. 

Replacing content

2. Customize the Fonts

After you've replaced the content with your own, customize the fonts used in the template. To customize the font, choose the Text tool and click on any text in the resume. Then, choose a font you like from the drop-down menu at the top.

Customizing fonts

3. Change Colors

Once you've customized the fonts, customize the colors in your chosen template. For example, I want to change the black bar at the top of the resume. This bar is in the bottom most layer. Once that layer has been selected, use the color picker tool to change it to a different color.

Changing and customizing colors

4. Add a Profile Photo

The next step is to add your profile photo. The CV template has a photo placeholder located on the first layer, called Clip Group. To replace the photo with your own, first, open your photo in Photoshop. Then, select it by pressing CTRL+A or CMD+A on a Mac. Copy it with CTRL+C or CMD+C

Go back to the resume file in Photoshop and make sure the first visible layer with the Clip Group selected. Paste your photo above it by pressing CTRL+V or CMD+V. Then, right-click the layer with the photo and select Make Clipping Mask.

Adding a profile photo

5. Export Your Design

25 Best Event WordPress Themes: For Conferences and More

Posted: 31 Dec 2020 05:40 AM PST

Conferences and networking events are one of the best ways to promote your business and establish relationships with potential clients as well as business partners.

Evently Event Website Template
Evently is one of the many premium event WordPress themes you can find on ThemeForest.

An essential part of any successful event or conference strategy is setting up a website to promote it and to create a resource that explains all the benefits of signing up for your event. And let's face it; competition is heating up–your event needs to get noticed!

"the number of B2B events — like tradeshows, conference, or sales and marketing meetings — are on the rise" – Eventbrite

Why You Should Use an Event Theme

Even though you may already have a website for your business, setting up a separate website for your event has a couple of important benefits:

  • It gives your visitors a single call to action to focus on, which increases sign-up rates.
  • It reduces the chances of your visitors getting distracted by a page or a post that has nothing to do with the conference you're trying to promote.

By creating a separate website, you'll be able to build anticipation and excitement for the upcoming event. And selecting the right theme for your event plays a crucial role. 

A good event WordPress theme will have an appealing design and it will also make it easy to publish useful information for your attendees, such as the event location, session schedules, speaker profiles, as well as the ability to manage registrations and mobile responsive design.

Best Practices for Event Websites

When it comes to building a WordPress event website, choosing from professional event WordPress themes, and then installing your chosen theme is not enough. Aside from making sure your website is responsive and loads fast, there are several different things to keep in mind to ensure your event is a complete success.

The goal of your event or conference site should be two-fold:

  1. Create awareness for your event
  2. Capture ticket sales

With that in mind, here's our list of best tips and practices for event websites:

1. Insert the When and Where In Plain View

Even though some of your website visitors know when and where your event is taking place, it's safe to assume that the majority of them have no clue. To reduce the chances of your visitors leaving your website in frustration, it's crucial that you place this information front and center, as well as include a sign-up button or a form. You should also include a brief tagline that describes your event like in the GenesisExpo theme.

GenesisExpo Event Website Template
GenesisExpo is an example of conference WordPress themes with clear location information.

2. Create a Brand for Your Event

Make sure your event is memorable by designing a special logo for it and use it not only on your website, but in every social media update, and on flyers and posters to promote your event. Make sure you use consistent colors and fonts to further improve the impression of your event.

3. Have a Clean, Organized Design

Don't clutter up your page with unnecessary elements. If you need multiple pages, then keep your menu with only the links you need for your event. Highlight your speakers, signup dates, costs and only your most important information. Present your event details in a way that's logical for a first-time visitor who's just become interested in your event.

4. Add Plenty of Calls-to-Action

An event page with no distinct CTA is a wasted effort so make sure to include multiple calls-to-action that clearly stand out from the rest of your website. Whether it's to encourage ticket sales, attract sponsors, or a speaker application, make it noticeable. Don't be afraid to use a vibrant color like the Grand Conference theme does, to draw attention to your CTA. - whether that's a link, a button, or a form that prompts the user to buy a ticket, apply as a sponsor or a speaker, or simply entice them to learn more about your event.

5. Include Speaker Pictures and Bios

Great speakers can do wonders to attract visitors and attendees to your event. The event page should show their faces and list their credentials similarly to the EvenTalk theme. Consider creating short videos of the speakers and including them on your website.

EvenTalk is a great example of WordPress conference themes that highlight speakers.

6. Promote Your Event on Social Media With a Special Hashtag

Promoting your event on social media is natural if you want to attract as many people as possible. Be sure to include social media sharing buttons on the registration page as well as the Thank You page. 

Take it a step further by creating a special hashtag for your event and use it not only to promote your event but to connect with people before and during the event. Also, consider including a link to your event in your social media bios across different profiles.

How to Set (+Reach) Your Personal Goals in Life and Work in 2021

Posted: 31 Dec 2020 05:35 AM PST

Everyone sets goals, whether they're an eight year old girl deciding they will be an astronaut or someone on the verge of a midlife crisis wanting to lose weight or get a tattoo.

Goal setting is important in both your personal and professional life. (Image source: Envato Elements)

The thing is, people fail to reach at least some of the goals in life that they set for themselves. Many people fail to reach most. It's one thing to say you want to learn to fly, but another to spend years and thousands of dollars becoming a pilot—or trying to convince a doctor to surgically graft wings on your arms. 

With the wrong goals, you set yourself up for failure from day one. If your goal is too hard, unmeasurable, or just so vague as to be meaningless, you won't ever reach it. The simplest fix then, is to set the right goals. To set professional and personal goals that are achievable and reachable. You might need to set many small goals to tick off a big one, but you at least have some hope of getting there. Let's look at how.

Why Are Goals Important?

Goal setting is important in both your personal and professional life. Even if you aren't sitting down at the end of every year to do an annual review, you probably have a few things in your head you'd like to achieve. It's much better to take a conscious, proactive approach to setting goals at work and home. That way you'll reap many more benefits. 

Note: If you like this tutorial, you may also like some of our other Envato Tuts+ tutorials on productivity.

Here are some of the benefits of setting professional and personal goals:

  • They give you direction and help you make decisions. If your goal is to be a pilot and you've got a choice between flight school and clown college, it's pretty obvious which way you need to go. Less facetiously, if you're trying to lose weight and the choice is McDonalds or a homemade salad, an awareness of your goals makes deciding what to do much easier. Even in open ended situations, having a firm idea what you want to achieve with your life over the next few months will help you proceed with direction rather than just floating aimlessly from one situation to another.
  • They give you a way to track progress. If your aim is to lose weight, you can look back and see that in January you set out to lose four pounds and succeeded, you did the same again in February, and now it's March and you're down over half a stone. By laying out the route to what you want to achieve, you can see how far along it you've come.
  • Your progress is a huge source of motivation. Each time you succeed in reaching a goal, you'll be motivated to keep going; to push harder and reach other goals. When you're bored or unsure of what to do next you can also visualise yourself sitting in that 747 cockpit coming in to land.

Everything I've said, however, only holds true for good goals. Set yourself the wrong goals in life and all you'll have to look back on is a string of demotivating failures. So, what makes a good goal?

1. How to Set Goals Using SMART 

A good goal is SMART. This means it's Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Constrained. Let's discuss these one by one. A good goal is: 

  • Specific. It's clear and easy to define. "Make lots of money" is useless as a goal, but "become a Tuts+ writer so I can make lots of money" has at least some merit. You want your goals to be as specific as possible with no wiggle room.
  • Measurable. It's easy to quantify success or failure. "Lose weight" is specific, but it's actually not very measurable. Are you looking to lose an ounce or ten stone? Both are technically losing weight. The simpler a goal is to measure, the easier it is for you to track progress.
  • Achievable by you. I'm a five-foot-ten, twenty-eight-year-old, Irish guy. I'm not playing in the NFL next season no matter what I do. The goals you set now should be achievable for you now. As you grow as a person you can set goals that take you further. Don't try and lose ten pounds in two weeks, go for four pounds in a month.
  • Relevant to your broader aims. If you want to be a pilot, you need to get at least a B in your math exams so, right now, your goal should be to get a B+ or better. If you're looking to get a promotion in the next year or two, now isn't the time to try and climb all Seven Summits. 
  • Time-Constrained. It's not a vague, open-ended someday. If your goal is to put on some muscle, then you can always start properly tomorrow. On the other hand, if your goal is to gain two pounds by next Thursday, then your actions today will determine whether or not you succeed. If you skip out on the gym now, you're not going to reach it. 

While all your goals might not be perfectly SMART, it's a really great place to start when you're setting yourself personal and professional goals. 

2. Be Careful (But Not Too Careful) Of Outcome Goals

There's one other major concept you need to understand about goal setting: the difference between Outcome and Process goals, and the trap of the former.

An Outcome goal is a goal where there is a defined outcome. It's something like "write for The New Yorker this year" or "have $50,000 in the bank by Christmas." While these personal goals examples, at first glance, look like pretty strong SMART goals, they're at the mercy of a lot of outside factors.

Let's take a closer look at those personal goals examples. I'd love to write for The New Yorker, but I actually have very little say in whether I can do it or not. They're pitched by thousands of writers every month, many of them very good. Having a pitch accepted is as much a matter of luck and timing as it's about being an exceptional writer. I could be the best writer in the bunch and do everything right, but if they're not looking for an incredible human-interest piece on small African tree frogs for their issue dedicated to the rodents in Chicago's inner city then someone else is going to be selected. 

A Process goal instead focuses on what needs to be done to possibly achieve a desired outcome. If I want to write for The New Yorker, I need to pitch The New Yorker.  Maybe they don't want my tree frog piece, but they might like my sand worm article or my sea otter photo essay. Rather than my goal being to write for The New Yorker, it becomes "to pitch ten article ideas to The New Yorker this year". Not only is that SMART, but it's also entirely within my control and each pitch will actually get me closer to writing for The New Yorker. I'll both maximise my chances of getting lucky or hitting the zeitgeist and develop with each pitch. My tenth piece will almost certainly be better than my first. 

This isn't to warn you off outcome goals entirely. It's just to make you aware of the danger of creating goals that rely entirely on other people. If there are four great candidates for a CEO job, three of them are going to miss out. You can be the best you possible and still not get the job. Outcome goals, however, often make the most motivating goals. They're the easiest to fantasise about or to talk about around the dinner table. It's important to have them too, but to recognise that you need process goals too. 

3. Set Short and Long-Term Goals

Not all goals in life are on the same time frame. Some will be things you want to achieve in the next few weeks or months, others will be things you want to do before you die. In general, goals are split into:

  • Short-term (less than one year)
  • Medium term (one to five years)
  • Long-term (longer than five years) 

There's obviously lots of fuzziness around the edges when it comes to time frames. 

How you set each goal will depend on what time frame you want to achieve it in. If you plan to grow your freelance revenue to $100,000/year over the next five years, you'll need to approach it differently than if you're trying to achieve that in the next one. 

In general, short-term goals are often building blocks to longer term goals and therefore, you need to be much stricter with how you set your short-term goals. It's okay to have vague, not-super SMART long-term plans, but you shouldn't have unmeasurable short-term goals. The Getting Things Done Productivity System takes this approach to work objectives, but it's a good one to take with your long-term goals list whether it contains professional or personal goals.

7 Tips for Setting Personal and Professional Goals

Now that you've got a good grounding in the concepts that underly good goal setting, let's look at putting it into practice. 

  1. You want your goals to be (where possible) Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time Constrained. It's okay to compromise on one or two areas, but not on all of them.
  2. The most important SMART characteristic is Achievable. If your goals in life are way beyond your abilities, you will never achieve them and you'll be demotivated. This doesn't mean only set yourself simple goals. It means try for things that are just out of your reach. If you want to write a novel, don't aim for 10,000 words a week, aim for 1,000. You'll be able to do it and you'll end up actually writing the book!
  3. It's okay to have some Outcome goals, but you need to be careful not to stake too much on other people's decisions. Process goals are better because you're 100% in control of your success or failure. It's a good idea to set larger outcome goals and then set smaller process goals that'll lead you on the road to achieving them. If you want to win a powerlifting competition, start by learning to bench press with correct technique every time. 
  4. Consider the time frame when you're setting your goals. Short-term objectives need to be looked at more strictly than long-term things. Consider breaking long-term goals into short-term goals as well. For example, if you want to be an astronaut, you need a PHD. So start by getting really good grades on your SAT. Take the GTD approach and break everything down into small steps.
  5. There's mixed research on whether telling people helps or hinders you with achieving your goals. See what works for you. Maybe you find it easier to work away in secret, or maybe you work better with an acountabilibuddy. You can also use services like stickK to keep yourself in line.
  6. For professional goals, talk to your manager and colleagues. They may be able to help you work towards them. If you're trying to upskill, there's a good chance your company will give you extra time off to attend conferences or pay for some of your studies. Setting and achieving your goals will also make you seem like a go-getter and might be exactly what nets you that promotion. 
  7. Remember that goal setting isn't just limited to serious areas of your life. If you want to make new friends, set yourself a goal of attending a club or social event every week. If you're looking for a romantic partner, spend 30 minutes every day reaching out to potential matches on a dating site. Good goal setting can be used to drive you to any end result.

It's Okay to Give Up On Your Goals

I'm not an astronaut. I'm not a vet either. Nor a garbage collector nor any of the other professions eight-year-old Harry so earnestly believed he'd be. Reflecting honestly, I'd be a terrible astronaut and probably wouldn't enjoy being a vet very much. Just because those were my goals when I was young doesn't mean they're what I want now. 

Your professional and personal goals will shift as you grow—whether it's in age, maturity, or as a person. If a goal you set yourself a while ago is continually falling beyond your grasp, reassess it. Maybe it's not achievable for you right now or maybe it's just something you're not motivated to strive for any more. Your actions speak way louder than words. So go ahead and change the long-term goals list when you need to. 

Good goal setting is the simple part. The hard part is achieving them. Deciding you're going for a five kilometre run three times a week is easy—it's a very SMART, short-term, process goal after all. But actually getting out the door on a dark rainy Tuesday is a lot harder.

Congratulations! You're Done

In this tutorial, we created a simple background using a linear gradient and a texture. Then we created the text and duplicated its layer to apply different layer styles.

We added a stroke to some layers and applied the layer styles using different effects and values. This created layers with the shine and gloss to create a 3D appearance.

Once all the text layers were styled, we used simple filters to create a basic texture that makes the effect a bit more dynamic.

Finally, we added a splash brush to the background and styled it, as well as adding sparkles to the edges of some of the letters and a gradient overlay adjustment layer to enhance the coloring of the final result.

5 Quick Tips to Design Better Keynote Presentations in 2021

Now you know how to customize one of our beautiful Keynote templates. To design a compelling presentation there are a few key tips you should keep in mind as you work on your presentation:

1. Keep White Space In Mind

White space is your best friend when it comes to designing your presentation. Leaving white space around different presentation elements makes your presentation clearer. It allows the audience to focus on your message.

2. Increase Your Font Size

Keep the contents of your presentation legible by increasing your font size. Set the body font to at least 28px and your headings to 36px. 

3. Use High Quality Images

The images used throughout your presentation will help you make a more compelling argument. You'll leave a great impression on your audience. As such, your images need to be of high quality.

4. Stick to One Idea Per Slide

Presenting only one idea per slide makes it easier for your audience to focus on your presentation and stay engaged. If you've got too many ideas per slide, your audience will keep reading while you're explaining each concept. Then, they'll become bored and disengaged. 

5. Keep Text to a Minimum

The last tip we've got for you is to keep the text to a minimum. Your presentation will be more engaging and easier to understand. Use visuals such as charts, graphs, images, maps, and timelines to present the information.

5 Top Keynote Presentation Slide Design Trends for 2021

Premium themes for Keynote give you the tools to succeed in your next presentation. But to make the most impact, incorporate 2021's latest Keynote theme trends. Let's look at five of these trends to help you turn your Keynote deck into a smash hit:

1. Increasing Use of Images

Keynote themes
Themes for Keynote like Exposure make full use of images to bring slides to life.

Think about it: most of us are overwhelmed by torrents of information in our daily lives. Attention spans grow ever shorter. The last thing you want your slides to do is to add to the problem. Download Keynote themes featuring plenty of image placeholders. 

These streamline the process of adding tons of photos, making it as easy as dragging and dropping right onto the slide. Photos in themes for Keynote are the perfect way to make your points in style!

2. Crafting Seamless Transitions With Magic Move

Magic Move, a feature unique to Keynote, is an effortless way to move content from one slide to another. Gone are the days of content jumping back and forth across slides. It works with the Keynote themes you've already seen!

With Magic Move, you can seamlessly animate any object and watch it glide into position. Better yet, you can apply the effect in just a few clicks. To learn the simple process for themes for Keynote, check out our handy Magic Move tutorial with all the details:

3. Constructing Compelling Infographics

Infographic themes for Keynote
Turn concepts and ideas into beautiful illustrations by using infographics in themes for Keynote.

Reading columns of data aloud to an audience is a surefire way to bore and confuse them. That's where infographics come in. Infographics are stylized illustrations built to explain concepts and data. 

Infographics look great on your slides, and they free Keynote themes to focus on big ideas. Use them to map a process, review results, plot strategies, and more.

4. Setting the Stage by Adding YouTube Videos

An old expression reminds us that we shouldn't reinvent the wheel. That's very true when it comes to Keynote presentations. Sometimes, it just isn't necessary to always speak or share your own material. 

By adding YouTube videos, you can introduce new voices and boost audience engagement. Thanks to Keynote, it's incredibly easy.

Learn how to add YouTube videos to your Keynote slides with our full tutorial:

How to Use Texture, Clarity, Dehaze, Vibrance and Saturation in Adobe Camera Raw

Posted: 30 Dec 2020 08:46 AM PST

The section of Adobe Camera Raw that includes Texture, Clarity, Dehaze, Vibrance and Saturation can make a big difference to the look of your images. They can also sometimes cause confusion, as some of the sliders appear to perform similar tasks. In this article, we'll break each down for you so you can better understand their unique functions.

Clarity and Texture

Clarity and Texture are similar but not quite the same. Clarity has been around for a little while in ACR and it adds contrast to your midtones, leaving those tones at the ends of the spectrum untouched.

Clarity set to +100
Clarity set to +100

Texture on the other hand is quite a new addition, added in 2019. Texture is a little like structure in other photo editing applications, it sharpens in one direction and smooths in another. Unlike traditional sharpening features though, it doesn't target the edges of shapes but instead enhances textures already present and almost mimics a faux HDR effect. When Texture is used on an image with a shallow depth of field for example, it shouldn't alter your background blur.

Texture set to +100

Likewise, in the opposite direction, when the Texture slider is used to smooth, you shouldn't lose those important details.

Vibrance and Saturation

While Saturation affects colours across your whole image, Vibrance targets just your midtone colours. When you increase the Saturation slider, all the colours across your entire tonal range will be affected, from shadows right up to highlights. If you increase it a lot, it'll make the colours really strong and gaudy, a little like a cartoon.

Saturation at +100
Saturation at +100

A good way to see the difference between the two is actually to decrease them. If we take Saturation to -100 you can see it removes all of the colour in the image, making it black and white.

Saturation at -100
Saturation at -100

However if Vibrance is decreased to -100 you're left with an anaemic, muted image, but certainly one that still has some colour present.

Dehaze

To demonstrate Dehaze I've switched to a photograph that was taken on quite a misty day with poor visibility.

Dehaze Before and After

You can see that by increasing the Dehaze slider it really brings back details that were getting lost towards the background. You can go too far with Dehaze, and it'll suffer the same tradeoff as other sliders, with 'too bright' colours and being too sharp. Dehaze is also handy if you want to make a misty picture look even more hazy, just drag the slider the opposite way to lose some definition from your background and gradually towards the front depending how far you pull the slider.

Less is More

As with all editing tools, less is often more and you'll likely find the right balance between each of these sliders to get just the right result for your image. Here's a before and after image with a more considered use of the options I've gone through in this article. There aren't any other edits - not even basic corrections - so you can see what effect just these particular tools can have.
