CV Development and final

I knew I wanted my CV to be folded in some way to add interest as well as making it smaller and neater. Before deciding on the fold, I divided a page into 8 to section what would go on each page.

So far I have included some work from second year of my university course and my current education grades. I am looking forward to showcasing my hours project when it is completed.

I obviously need to decide the style and full design of my CV, it will include the lilac from my logo, and similar aspects to my business card so that my overall brand is recognisable.

This is my second draft where I have rearranged a few things so that it fits better with whats on each page.

As I mentioned in a previous post, the CV will be printed on stone paper so it is more environmentally friendly and durable.

Here is my third draft of my CV. The first difference is i have replaced my visuals with improved versions.

The other changes i've made are removing the personal interests section of writing becasue most of my interests I have some form of award from it that is listed in 'Qualifications' anyway, and they are not relevant beyond that. This gave me another page free to add another image which will show more of my work; I have put a grey rectangle as a place holder for when I have visuals from my honours project ending in May.

I condensed the page with packages and qualifications and fit references in as well. I have overal neatened up the spacing throughout my CV.

The logo is now smaller compared to the circle it is in, I feel it looks better because it doesn't look cramped now.

I printed what I had onto an A3 page to see size of the text and the colour and folded it back on it's self. I don't like this layout however, I looked at portfolios that are folded in an interesting way for inspiration on what to do with mine.

Once I chose how I wanted my CV to be constructed, I rearranged the pages I already have to what would work on the new layout. Not much needed to be changed, but a couple more pages needed to be filled, I decided the extra space can be dedicated to my honours project.

Here is the layout of my pages that will print in the right place to fold.

And here is the printed and folded CV. I am fairly happy with how my CV looks in real life, although it would be printed on stone paper, which I could not do myself.
