Before I began, I decided on a colour scheme that I plan to use in relation to my cv and portfolio. I then decided on what fonts I would like to use and finally I decided on my skills and information I need to display on my CV.
Colours
The colour scheme I have chosen is a palette that contains, pinks, blue's, yellows and browns. I found this palette from colourlovers.com
Why Pink?
Overall, I plan to use the two shades of pink primarily for my cv and incorporate the various other colours into my portfolio. Pink is a combination of the colours red and white. Pink contains the need for action of red, helping to achieve potential success. With this CV I hope to successfully secure a job within the sector of Information Technology.
Fonts
The next decision was the fonts I would use on my CV. I decided on two fonts. These fonts are Delhi regular and Segoe UI Light.
Contents of CV
Finally, I decided on what information I thought was extremely important to include on a cv for potential employers. This information included:- A basic summary about myself
- This summary will describe my latest education, past education and skills I have developed in the last few years
- General information
- General information will contain information on my location and age
- Education information
- Education information will contain information on my latest and previous course that I have completed. I also decided to include my awards of my degrees.
- Work Experience information
- My work experience includes information on my previous experience, location of this experience and the dates of these jobs
- My Interest
- To make my CV more personal, I decided to included a few of my interests. I will display these interests using infographics
- My Skills
- I will list my technical skills on my cv. This skills will also be displayed using infographics
- My Contact details
- My contact details will include my mobile number, my email address, my Behance link and my LinkedIn link.
To ensure my CV is eye-catching I have decided to use various info-graphics to make my cv look more quirky and professional. The software I plan to use is Adobe Photoshop. Once my cv is complete I will upload it to Behance and begin to develop my portfolio.
