7 Stunning Biodata Format That Will Get You A Response (GURANTEED!)

The biodata format we use is bad. Really bad!

Why should your marriage biodata look like you stole it from someone?

We are not joking.

The collage of images above are some marriage biodata samples we found by using a simple Google search for "Marriage Biodata"

Do you see the problems with the biodata format that most people use?

Here are 4 issues that we want to banish from the face of this earth!

1. Why should a biodata format look like a job resume? Would you consider printing your wedding invitation in a word document and distribute photocopies of it to the guests? We hear you screaming'NEVER!'. But why do make the same mistake with our marriage biodata?

2. Would you ever meet a love interest without dressing up? Why do we not spend a little more time to format the biodata properly? Do you think you can impress a prospective match with a poorly formatted and confusing biodata format?

3. Are you still watching black and white TV at home? We are sure you have probably never seen a black and white TV if you were born in the 1990s or later. The world has moved on from black and white. Yet, there seems to be a fascination for ugly black and white biodata format! We can't understand the reason.

4. Do you prefer to blend with the crowd? When you buy a smartphone, you make it your own by adding your custom phone cover, stickers, wallpaper and so on. So why does your marriage biodata format look like a carbon copy of any other marriage biodata format? Don't you want to stand out or create a great first impression?

Our collaboration with Ashima Bawa

When we decided to create biodata formats for marriage, we wanted to elevate the level of sophistication and design to a level never seen before. So we decided to collaborate with an artist who can convert our vision into reality.

We chose to work with Ashima Bawa, an illustrator and UI designer with experience in working for leading ad agencies and startups.

We were impressed with Ashima's work for Airtel, Pepsi, Akshay Patra and MakeMyTrip. Her unique blend of modern sensibilities and Indian ethos really captured our expectations for the biodata formats we wanted to create for Jodi Logik.

According to Ashima, "It was exciting to create each template as the brief was simple - go wild and use your imagination. The real challenge here was how do I create designs for the biodata format that will help Jodi Logik customers create a great first impression and stand out from the crowd."

The recipe for our exquisite religious biodata formats

Here is how Ashima approached the challenging task of designing unique biodata templates that captured the essence of India and the unique traditions of every religion.

The first step was to really understand the visual symbols and imagery associated with the religion for which the biodata format was being created. It involved gaining at least a high-level understanding of art history, patterns, architecture, textures, symbols, icons and colours associated with the religion.

This information was then converted to visual notes in form of a mood board.

Then came the tricky part of making each template different from the other. Ashima started sketching and trying different layouts on a piece of paper. "I tried my best to fit all the information in a neat and readable manner. Each template has a unique font, patterns and colours to give it a flavour of the religion" according to Ashima.

For example, here is how the Hindu biodata format was created by Ashima.

As you can see in the mood board, she collected all visual information of Hindu religion. The references included typical Hindu wedding cards, symbols of Lord Ganesh, the lord of good fortune and the remover of obstacles among other elements.

"I wanted to use rich colours, orange and magenta give you a festive mood since both are commonly used in decorations and sweet boxes. The orange also depicts marigold flower which is always present in the Hindu weddings. Different shades of pink and red are commonly found in Hindu weddings. Magenta is a colour that helps to create harmony and balance."

Here is the final version of the Hindu biodata format.

The white area showing the arch is inspired by Rajput architecture. The Rajput rulers had a keen sense of beauty in art and architecture which is seen in the artistic excellence of their temples, forts and palaces.

The Hindu temple design follows a geometrical design called Vastu-Purusha-Mandala. Mandala means circle, Purusha is universal essence at the core of Hindu tradition, while Vastu means the dwelling structure. Hence the mandala around the profile picture of the groom or bride. Symmetry is shown through the arches also depicts the grand and wide entrance to the ancient temples.

Critical information like birth time, moon sign, sun sign are visually depicted in form of Janampatri (Indian horoscope). To make it stand out, Ashima used the magenta colour.

Creating a comprehensive biodata format for modern Indians

In addition to religious themes for the biodata templates, we also designed two no-religious themes - the Classic Biodata Template and the Comprehensive Biodata Template.

Designing the comprehensive biodata layout was challenging.

First of all, this biodata format had to sport a neutral theme so that customers belonging to all religions can relate to it.

Another challenge was that a lot more information about the customer's lifestyle choices and interests needed to be added in a single page biodata format.

Here is how Ashima conquered these challenges.

"I could not use any religious symbols or elements, so instead I used flat icons to depict family, education, profession and lifestyle. A monochromatic theme was used to make it look clean and readable. Since this biodata layout had more content than the religious ones, I avoided using too many colours. A lot of colours would have made it cluttered and too heavy. I used boxes to segregate information and wave pattern in the background to create a calming effect.

To create some depth, I used a geometric flower pattern in the foreground inspired by pinwheels. Pinwheels are mesmerizing and make you feel happy just by looking at them. I wanted the user to feel good looking at the profile. I played with negative space by colouring the flowers white, since I didn't want to use more colours and make it look cluttered. Orange colour in text headings and profile picture stroke was used to break the monotony a bit.

Talking about her experience working for Jodi Logik, Ashima says, "Variety is the spice of life. Each individual is unique my designs reflect an earnest attempt to create unique designs for every biodata theme. Working on this project with Jodi Logik was a fulfilling experience. The best part was that I found a client who understands creatives can't be restricted and mindless feedbacks are a waste of time!"

A template for everyone

We ended up creating seven templates spanking new biodata formats designed to meet our customer's expectations. Here are is a brief introduction to every one of the biodata templates available for print and download.

This template brings together two key elements together - a modern sensibility to biodata design along with traditional design elements and colours. It's a timeless Indian classic and hence the name! The information needed to complete this biodata format is fairly basic. Of course, if you believe you definitely require additional information to be added, you could always use the About Myself and Expectations sections.

Hindu Biodata

This biodata format is comprehensive and suitable for Hindus who want to include high-level information about their horoscope. This is in addition to all the elements you will find in the classic biodata template. You could also choose to include details of your caste and your caste preference.

Christian Biodata

This biodata template has a sense of restrained elegance. The focus of the design is the tuxedo and the wedding gown that you may not notice if you don't look carefully at the design! We have used the holy cross as anchors for various sections of the biodata. Most importantly, you can add details of your church and where it is located.

Muslim Biodata

The Muslim biodata has several Islamic art and religious elements defining the design the layout. Key data about your profile will find a place in the tower section capped by minarets. The predominant colour used is green and of course, the crescent moon and the star also find a place in the design.

Sikh Biodata

The Sikh biodata format uses the universally recognised emblem of Sikhism that brings together the Kirpans, Khanda and the C hakkar. The predominant colour used in this template represents the sweeping fields of mustard the dot the fertile landscape of Punjab. if you are wondering why used the peacock feathers in the design, you should read this.

Jain Biodata

This biodata format is in the form of an ancient scroll with a sacred script written on it. Jainism preaches non-violence, kindness and good actions and pure thoughts. The Lotus icons are used to anchor key points in this biodata and symbolise patience and purity of mind, body and soul. The text is printed in pink colour to evoke feelings of warmth and comfort. Title text in gold shows grandeur and prosperity. The symbol of Mahavira captures the essence of Jainism which is disciplined nonviolence.

Comprehensive Biodata

The comprehensive biodata packs a lot of information in a single page and yet easy to read and well-organised.
