Assignment 1: CV Design

The next step within the assignment was to research five excellently design CV's online. Once I research five excellent CV design I must update my own CV to ensure that all my education and work experience is up to date.

An excellent designed CV should include:

1. Personal contact details 
1. Phone number, email address, social media platforms including LinkedIn
2. Show off who you are and your personality
3. Do not include hard to read typography

Using a mixture of various websites including Behance and Pinterest I began my research. It was easy to find 5 excellently designed CV but it was extremely hard to pick just 5. The following are the CV I picked.
