Personal CV design progression

CV content to include:

Personal details
- Profile statement
- Educational achievements
- Work experience
- Other (possibly if relevant)

Work experience to be either minimised or not included.
Decision due to low quality of work experience and no relevance to desired job field of interest.
Column system to remain but organised more efficiently.
Other section to be removed as not necessary.

Design to be reduced to fit on single page for clarity and connivence of client
Single page allows for card to be used as no fixings will be required (paper clip / staple etc)

Deign to be implemented from business card design as creativity of personal identity is being discovered through business card development

Text design implemented form business card design
Background design implemented from business card / portfolio design

Layout chosen for titles to be offset to left to allow quick reference to desired section
Actual content centralised (indented) laid out in statement form in column
Grades offset to right to allow for quick reference
Once all university grades are finalised all modules will be given grades + final degree grade + CV reproduced

Background design to interact with text but not obscure



Implementation of design to actual document encountered many problems.

Printing from home - printer cannot print card + no bleed printing = insufficient quality

Printing from university - Informed cannot print on black card, did not understand the concept of bleed printing amazingly. Had to setup up myself across counter an invert print on card to check print quality of printers on card - was not impressed and decided to investigate else where

Further investigation - managed to locally achieve bleed printed CV on white card, however colour is washed out due black print onto white card. Reverse is left white.

Company that produced Business cards would be able to produce high quality CV on black card. Dual texture feature of business card would also be implementable improving on quality. Both side printing would be available allowing for background to be applied to reverse improving quality further.
CV could not be ordered in time for deadline.

Bleed print (washed out) versions included with work as highest quality achievable in time.

With more time and resources it is fully believed that exact desired result is achievable despite difficulties.
