Week 3 - CV and one pagers

Week 3 - CV and one pagers

Looking at one page CVs. While Rachel is talking about CVs that are clean, clear and use a simple grid structure, I prefer more colourful artistic CVs. This is probably more about personality and character of the person. As I am an animator/concept artist, seeing both the person's artistic ability and identity. I also think these are just more eye catching than plain grid based designs.


Rachel did bring up a good point that the type in these two CVs could do with some work. A lot of the type is very similar and some of the font choice is a bit out there.
