OUGD602 Personal Branding - Creative CV

Personal Branding - Creative CV

Now that I have a typeface and style to work with I need to create a CV that stands out and clearly presents me.

Examples:


I really like how this CV is presented like a newspaper, it's an interesting and different way to present yourself.


I think that this idea works really well, it also links more to packaging. The back of the leaflet could also fold out into a poster. 


I like the simplicity and the bold type to grab attention.


This is also an engaging way to fold up a CV.


This reflects an interest in packaging design due to the nature of the design.

I need to think about layout and how I want to best present the information to reflect me, while remaining clear and legible.

What to include on a CV?

- Personal Details: Full name, email address, phone number, address, website, social media.

- Personal Statement: Achievements, career aspirations, tailor to job role applying for, overview of who you are, strengths, work experience / education, skills, hobbies and interests that demonstrate skills which are relevant.

Why does this role interest me?
Why am I suited to the role?
Do you have any previous jobs or training that relate to this line of work?
Have you taken part in any projects that help demonstrate your capabilities?
What specialist skills do you have that make you an ideal candidate?

- Work Experience: Relevant, transferrable skills, examples.

- Education: Institutions, dates of attendance, achievements, grades.

- Skills and Qualifications: From work experience of education relevant to the role, key skills.

- Interests and Hobbies: Relevant, add value.
