Creative CV

Due to me only being at college, my Creative CV really isn't that creative right now. I have acknowledged I need to express my skills on my CCV but unfortunately I couldn't figure my strengths just yet other than my over-all Illustrator/Painter/Graphic Design status. I have, however, included some small doodles I did a while back, because then said individual would be able to see what I draw like (except my drawings change with what style I like to swing towards.) A lot of Creative CV's I have seen almost all, have very pastel, calming colours. I think calming, pale pastel colours would be a nice addition because it would show a somewhat delicate ideal about yourself. I have also included blatantly what my previous work experience is to show I have been a consistently working person and can keep up at a position; despite leaving/being made redundant. My qualifications are in chronological order so it isn't too confusing. I tried to keep everything very short and simple because then it's easier to read and makes the point I intent to implement. The bottom of the page is something most people read last - So I have put my address, art blog and mobile number therefore they may remember it most out of the rest of the CV and will call. I put my art blog on there because then they can keep up to date with my latest pieces, what I enjoy and show's that I am fully dedicated to art (plus they may remember my number and decide to call for the job they are hiring for.) I chose the typography that I did (Baskerville and Ariel) because both are simplistic fonts. Baskerville is a more sophisticated- old type writer that gives it that comfortably relaxed but modern and professional look. Ariel is a font frequently used for important documents because Ariel is the easiest to read of all fonts and is quite frankly the most serious; professional out of the lot.
Once my skills have progressed and I came to a more definitive subject area, I'd list and write what my key skills are through that subject area and make sure I can 100% fill those boots that I'd have bought for myself. As of this current day, that wouldn't be the wisest of ideas since I'm not sure what subject area I am nor my strengths.
