Tips for Professional Visual Branding

Consistency: Use the same color palette across your resume, LinkedIn, portfolio, and email signature. Specify exact colors in every prompt.
Subtlety: Resume graphics should enhance, not overpower. Use "subtle," "minimal," and "clean" in your prompts.
Industry-appropriate: Tech roles can use modern/abstract graphics. Finance and law should keep it conservative. Creative fields can go bold.
High resolution: Print resumes at 300 DPI. ZSky AI generates high-resolution images suitable for both screen and print.
