Curriculum Times New Vitae


Who's to say that a CV has to be a formal written document with Times New Roman everywhere? In my opinion, no one. In my opinion, this little A4 piece of paper above totally embodies the entire point of Graphic Design. Information. That's all a Curriculum Vitae is, information. And all Graphic Design is, is communicating that information in a way that catches more attention. Take that bar chart for example, it does exactly the same thing as me writing down (in Times New Roman) what I enjoy doing in my spare time, what my interests are; but it's cleaner like this.

I used Bebas Neue for nearly all the Type, and ran the layers over a few textures. I scanned in my own pieces of paper that give the interesting folded effect. I also added extra layers in Photoshop, where I wrote essential pieces of information down in pencil, and splashed some fluid over it. The whole point of a CV or resume, is to get the attention of the employer, and I feel confident there won't be many others with a CV like this.
