CV...

I have created a CV as a part of my self promotion, after looking at a few design cvs on the internet I decided to give my CV a bit of design flair by making the background blue and using the same font choice that I had on my personal postcards. The content below is what I have put on my CV, I have mostly tried to talk about my design strengths and have tried to make my work experience relate to media.

PROFILE

I am currently a second year Digital Media Design student at Brighton University, I am aiming to achieve my BA degree by 2015.

I am an incredibly creative person, I love to draw; illustration is my number one passion and I am very enthusiastic about making fun and quirky designs. I come from an artistic background so I am well versed in traditional methods of design but I mostly use Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects to create my work. I am very much inspired by music- particularly when animating and it has a big impact on my design style. I try to keep things as quirky and original as possible. Pattern and hand-drawn designs are my speciality.

MEDIA EXPERIENCE

I currently organise emails and blog post updates for Comic Domain which has given me a good knowledge of Mail chimp and Wordpress. As my first official design related job it has also since given me insight into the business side of the design sector as well as communicative tools to be used when speaking to a client.

During one of our university projects we had to work with a live client: Latest TV. I produced an animated opening sequence with stings for the channel. This has helped to develop my client communicative tools and given me insight in how designing for a client works.

I volunteered at the Reasons to be Creative design conference September 2013 which not only gave me great insight into some brilliant design minds but also helped to develop organisational team skills.

WORK EXPERIENCE

I currently work at Co-op and have learnt how to converse with people and am fully till trained.
