Looks like it was heavily inspired by this (from ~2010): http://culturedcode.com/status/

And I really like the concept, but I believe that the value of a "status dashboard" is that it's a concise view of what's happening right now. I really don't think that this sort of concept is a good resume replacement it's not a good format for 20+ items.

I'd suggest making it a status dashboard for what you're working on right now, and once things are "completed" they drop off into a bulleted list at the bottom which becomes your "work log" rather than "dashboard" at that point. Make it less overwhelming and I could really see a recruiter or business partner getting some good info from it.




Software company status boards are not uncommon; here's another one from ~2010:

I'm partial to visual design and I'm fairly certain CC's dashboard wasn't an inspiration here.

They share inverted palette and a grid layout, but other than that if you set out to design a "cool" looking and functional 2 column table, it'll end up looking as posted project. There are just too few convergence points for this sort of design pattern.


OP, theres some things you should definitely consider in here. ^^
