How I created my resume/logo/portfolio in the last 3 hours

Aashir Khan - Aug 10 '20 - - Dev Community

So, I'm back again and 🙈 sorry for not posting for a while again and again.

So, What's happening? (Summary in 1 paragraph)

COVID-19 killed the startup I was working on, Now I'm working on a remote job board and Tailwind CSS Ui Kit. Thinking and Learning all the way, made my home office + Starting to build a TailwindCSS Course + a First Urdu Language Podcast on Development. This is too much for me now.

So Today's intention of writing this article is to share my experience of last 3-4 hrs of how I went through all this stuff and ended my procrastination of doing some really tough work for me:

  • Making a Logo for myself
  • Designing a Resume
  • Making a Portfolio

So this is how it started, I was reading this post and it really got me motivated to go make my resume, I was using basic LinkedIn PDF Resume till now. I somehow remembered that Canva got some amazing Resume Templates. I got to Canva and, picked up one template started modifying it and putting up content and my profile picture. I did modify the upper section... and it ended up like this:
Portfolio

Then I exported in PDF and shared on twitter. BTW still very much active on twitter, go follow me.

I moved to the same post (I was reading back again), and the second point was "Portfolio":
"People I have spoken to have put off applying for jobs because they weren't happy with their portfolio.

Newsflash: I am STILL not happy with my portfolio. I got my current role with absolutely NO portfolio. If I had waited until I was happy, I would still be waiting!" __Cited from article

I designed almost 3-4 portfolios, but they never saw the heat of the server. I was guilty of not able to design a portfolio. So I had an idea, why not just make this resume as a website (This looks good!)

I opened up Codepen, imported TailwindCSS (My First Love), and started rolling the ball + I used Figma for small image export and ImageBB for file-hosting. I started designing, designed the small part and my name was just looking like any other text on the page, So I said "My Name should fire up". I went to Canva and just tried to change the Font to Handwriting and line-height in minus. Copied it and pasted it here:

Logo

It really ended up being cool, and then back to CodePen, just some mobile layout change and done, shared on twitter. Came up here to tell you the story... that How I made the logo, Resume, Portfolio in last 3 hours.

This is the Codepen:

Thanks, for reading.

Note: I'm writing this post, just before sleep and really exhausted. I haven't proofed-read or did any improvements and checked all the links. This is a rough post for my true followers...
