Development of Creative CV


This is an image of myself taken when I was in College and was helping a friend for a project. I recently relocated it as I thought it would be good to use for the creative CV. It doesn't show much of myself off which is good as sometimes an image of yourself may not be a good idea on a CV.

I replaced the picture of my smile because I wanted to use the paper as a title page or for my name, however when I tried to do this, to fit the text in the box I had to shrink it down and it was almost unreadable, this is why I changed it to a picture. I chose this image of the flowers in the field because I love the countryside and open space. This picture could help decide what colours to use on the rest of the CV.




To show my love for the past, I thought it might be a good idea and put a few decorative images on the CV.  instead of showing it all over, I thought it is only relevant to keep it minimalistic. I chose to use this vintage phone and typewriter as it could be a nice feature for the section where the contact details would be.



Out of all the other wallpapers and designs that looked similar to this, I choose to use this because it was grey and white therefore I can use a wide range of colours over the top of this. The image above is just a tile,  I will edit it to make it fit an A4 page, then play around with the opacity and colour.



These icons above are a selection from the Adobe and Microsoft packages. I will edit out the icons to the software I am confident with and somehow display this on the CV. 

I would like to feature Scrabble letters in the CV somewhere to add a bit more creativity to the look of it. I could use them to Spell out my name? or my interests?... hopefully they will look good and fit in with everything else I would like to see featured.
