- There are now two distinct booklets: "Portfolio" and "CV" to make it easy for employers to find the information they are looking for
- The Portfolio booklet has a simple cover and plain colour backgrounds to allow my work to stand out
- The Portfolio booklet contains examples of my current projects
- The information in the CV booklet now follows a more traditional order: Statement, Details, Skills, Previous Emplyment
- The disc case cover is now labelled "Curriculum Vitae: Portfolio Included" to show there is not just a CV in the case
- The showreel DVD is clearly labelled as "Showreel" as just having "CV" written on the disc
Above: New disc case insert
These changes should make the contents of the case clearer and make the information easier and quicker to find, as well as showcasing my latest work. The new CV can be found here, and the portfolio booklet can be found here.
Tom,
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell me the size of your typography? Just want to check if you're not using a massive type. If you can make it smaller you could give more "air" to your design and make it easier to read and cleaner. Also, I suggest you to be less descriptive with what you did in your previous jobs and be more detailed in what skills you acquired in them. The order is a little bit strange too. Start with previous jobs, programs, follow by studies and finally put personal aim. Good idea to separate CV and portfolio, was a little bit confusing.
The font for the descriptive text is size 8 - it looks massive on screen because it's at 300dpi, when printed one page is about DVD booklet size. I'll change the jobs bit and shuffle the order.
