My Creative CV.

I was completely stumped as to what to do for my Creative CV, as I wasn't sure how to describe myself in such a positive light, without sounding rather pretentious. I decided to knuckle down and just try and relate the imagery of my CV to my personality and art style.
I chose a pretty detailed mandala style to begin with, and this would be the main focus of the piece, showing any possible employers straight away what my talents include on the specific style in which I work.

When I first began making my CV I knew I wanted to make something which reflected me and my talent, but to try and also make it not too much "IN YOUR FACE" either, as that can be off-putting if it was too vibrant or pushy.
I went with texture more than actual content for this piece and I think it has paid off. I began by making an intricate mandala design and then lining it digitally. after this i played around with the colours until I decided to stick with the white and change the background. I went for the "Your efforts are limitless," or "The skies' the limit," kind of deal and created a custom brush to create the clouds in a swirling pattern, and then brushed out and blended the clouds into the night sky with contrasts with the design perfectly. As I am planning for my CV to be like a contacts card, I chose to put my qualifications on the back of this card, so that anyone who's interested would be able to see my workflow well, rather than trying to distinguish it from the text. I think the layout of the text is OK, although I think if I had time to change it I would have made the CV into a little booklet, simply by scoring and bending card, and having each different section on each page, making the text bigger and birghter, and also being able to add more illustrations on each page.
