CV

Here is an example of my CV, I have decided to make it similar style to my business and I think they go together nicely.

Importance of Presentation

When creating my portfolio, it was important I present it right. This is to show professionalism but also my style. My designing style is very minimal and clean so it is important that my portfolio is an example of this. As you can see I have chosen the colours carefully the white, black, grey and brown go together well. 

Content to my portfolio needs extending, however content will be gained through my FMP. Also some pages need developing but my portfolio is ready to go get a job.

More inspiration

looking at different things people think of. I feel this is really interesting a packaging which can be made into a hanger. I find it interesting how people can think of ways to reuse a material.

I like

Visually interesting and a clever play on words

I like this CD case

I am not usually a big fan of CD cases, but this one found here is brilliant. I like the way it is all linked together, making you relate the right CD to the right case visually.

I love the binding of this book how you can see process is really nice.

Mash Design

Take a look at Mash design website. www.mashdesign.com.au/

Inspiration

on the back are tokens that can be ripped off, there is an image on the front. I feel this adds a nice touch as each person will received different parts of the image on the front, making each token slightly different.

I have found a company called mash design. There work is great and if I had a chance I would love to work for them. However they are a australian company, so it would be quite unlikely. Some of there work is really inspiring to me. 

Books

I love books with dust covers.

More books

Sections added to books are good, like this one these can be done using different sizes.

I LOVE BOOKS

I love book, I love all the extra touches adding to book. This is what makes them special. This example shows a small book which has been hand bound. This way of producing books makes the book very personal.

books books books

for the next few posts I am going to show you books that I like and why I like them. I have discovered that I love designing books, I am not much of a reader but am very interested at designing them.

I LOVE BOOKS

Hands on approach

As part of my final major project I have decided to make use of the college facilities, which includes screen printing and letterpress, I feel these are valuable skills to further my development into different processes designers will take to produce outcome.

Final Business Card

Here are my final business cards. I have chosen to keep them simple, because I feel they look better this way. Also there is lots of space on them for me to add any extra info by hand if needed. I decided to do them on a brown paper to add a little more to them.

Print Contacts

Through my research and professional opportunities I have found that there is alot more process within graphic design. The printing process really excites me. I have found a couple of good print contacts which I will definitely use within my profession.

Team Printers in Leeds are a brilliant printing company, to print to a very high standard, however they are quite expensive. You can find them on their website www.team-impression.com

Another print company I have been fortunate to use is Bermuda, Leeds. These printers are better for short runs, also leaflets and posters. www.bermudadigitalprint.co.uk
