Old:
Today I spend ages re-deisgning my creative CV, I was surprised how long it took. Above is my creative CV from last year and looking at it now I can see it isn't very 'me', nor did it go with the rest of my promotional material. It's a little random really. I also think it looks my graphic and illustrative so could give the wrong impression. This year I also added information to my CV, so all the information wouldn't have been able to fit in my old design anymore. It was time for a change!
What I did like from the old one was the selective use of colour and the 'Weaponry' bit in the bottom left, so I intended to use these ideas in my new design. I also liked that it all fitted on to a single side of A4 paper which was going to be hard to do this year with all my added info. It was really important to me that it all still fitted on to one side of paper again (it took ages!), as I don't want to overwhelm the reader with lots of paper, nor do I want them to accidentally lose a piece. I also thing it just generally looks neater on on side of paper.
So this is mu new design below with all the added info! I made it in to two neat columns with the information clearly separated and titled. I used the same colour scheme as my other promotional material and added imagery (the plant). This is an improvement on last year and it now all works within my branding. I kept the 'weaponry' bit as I think it adds a nice design element. Overall, visually I think it's clear and engaging. It isn't overwhelming but still has a design element to it.
Very happy indeed!
