How to write a graphic designer CV

Put your portfolio link (Behance, Dribbble or your own site) right under your name.
Name the brands, campaigns and formats: packaging, social media, print, motion, UI.
Mention results where you can: campaign reach, sales lift, client retention.
Show personality through one bold colour — but keep text readable and ATS-friendly.
