Creative CV idea mock ups

These are the very quick mock ups I made to illustrate my idea for the creative cv.

The portfolio folder is not to scale, as it's bigger than A3 size

Mini portfolio brochure

This is a test of my A5 brochure. The content will change as will the type. I just wanted to get a feel as to how the brochure might look. I have kept the same the style to the front cover. It works better as a set in this way.

Folder first draft

I quickly mocked up the folder and I am happy with how it looks. It's understated, which is what I was going for. On the inside I decided to insert my statement as it is appropriate to my pratice.

Net for PPD folder

I quickly digitally sketched this net for my PPD folder. I envisage this being solid black with the a simple logo and contact details on the front and back. These will hopefully be cheap and easy to produce. I felt this would a good edition as a leave behind when I have portfolio reviews and interviews. I will produce this as a solution to my creative CV but it will also house a business card and brochure.

End of year show proposal

I have attached the submission form for my end of year show proposal. I have an idea of what I want to show but scale is going to be an issue. I don't want to have bits and pieces everywhere but I want to show I have a variety of skills.

Shooting photography for portfolio

I recently picked up some great tips from computer arts projects magazine that will help me take shots of my work for my portfolio. Very informative indeed.

Identity devlopment

During the last two years, I have been tinkering with my identity, which I feel is finished. I have been using it for a while and now it feels like something I will use to find work and job offers. Its something that has featured in the ppd presentations as well as on invoicing for the screen yorkshire work but here is the development for the identity in one post for the purposes of assessment.

I want something I can use for the foreseeable future, so, as ever I was not happy with the first logo I did, and a few people suggested it looked alot more like 'NT' rather than 'AT'. I decided to sketch some more ideas for a logo over the easter period, once I had a little more time to think about it.







These are a few sketches I produced on graph paper. I have got into using graph paper a lot, particularly for logos as it gives a sense of scale and it helps me draw more accurately using the grid as a guide, similar to how I might sketch out letterforms when designing a font. This has become the way I practice, as I feel comfortable with it.






After skecthing the variations out, I stuck with a style I liked and made little amendments too it until I was happy.














First draft and business card

















There was way too much going on in this business card, thats for sure.






















Less complex but still a little odd. The identity has been finalised though.
