Designing your CV

Just a quick word to help anyone preparing a CV ready for job interviews etc! As a designer it's important to create a CV that's interesting, unique and most importantly, one that reflects you as a person and a designer. Whilst researching ways of doing this, I came across a very useful website that explains do's and don'ts, content you should include and examples of CVs. Hope this helps:

Thrigby Hall

These are just a few of the photographs I've taken after a visit to Thrigby Hall in Great Yarmouth. It's a lovely place and definitely worth a visit, especially to practice a bit of photography and enjoy a day out! They are unedited for now but I intend to improve the photos and my editing skills.

 

  

  

  

Exit Through The Gift Shop

So, on an eventful visit to Blockbuster, the boyfriend and I decided one of our rentals would be Banksy's 'Exit Through The Gift Shop'. It's a really nice insight into the world of street art and without giving away too much, not what you'd necessarily expect. Any of you 'designer/arty' types like me should give it a watch, but if you can't be bothered to find it, here's a trailer courtesy of the mighty YouTube...

I'd love to hear what any of you think, any good or bad points, and what you found interesting. In the meantime, here's some Banksy work...

After looking through my portfolio of old work I thought I'd update this profile (as it's been a while!)

These were designed in 2008 whilst in my second year of a Foundation Degree in Graphic Design. As part of an integrated project with illustrators, I was to art direct a series of book covers, for 2 different books. I was lucky enough to work with my tutors with top notch illustrations!
