Creative CVs

Explored some creative cvs on Pinterest and then tried to recreate some myself. I prefer the first three which use a surface pattern I have created during my time at UCLAN -the second a variation of the first. I think the second layout with the header has a bigger impact though.



The last design is quite different from the others it shows off my illustration skills and the 3d development of my work - this could be used to apply for a different role other than surface pattern that maybe requires other skills. I think the last one has less impact than the previous ones but that may be due to less colour making it stand out less. The barcode also distract from the text of the cv.

Xmas Pop Up Shop

This week we had a session to nail down the specifics for our pop up shop and to delegate tasks.

We delegated the tasks as follows: Aisha & Myself : design decorations Claire & Myslef: organising lasercut of decorations Erin: design leaflet and posters Kirsty: sort university funding Claire: source suckers and ribbon Caitlin: cakes (buying, Designing and making) Sally & Rosh: arranging the timetable of shifts Maria: organising/booking the space and music Fatima: marketing via emails - university wide By the end of the session we had worked out 5 designs and 5 colours for the decorations, cake themes (matching the decorations).
