CV Development

CV Initial ideas

Placement Research - UK

I have already looked into a lot of design studios in the uk. And however much i dream of againing a placement in Australia, i need to have a back-up plan. So below i have given a couple of examples of studios which i would like to gain some experience from if all goes 'tits up.' Enjoy ..

AllGood (Below): Is a local based company (outskirts of Leeds) and has been a registered business for over 9 years. The website is simple to understand and the designers make a good point on making it very aesthetically pleasing. The work - is stunning and the way the website just flows is fantastic. Defiantly a studio i would love to get a placement with at some point in my career ... student or no student.

Album Art Design (Below) A UK, London based graphic design studio which is its title states - specialises in Album art designs. This is an area i would absolutely love to go into. Music and 'art' is a prefect life and lifestyle for someone to live. The website is easy to follow and the work is to a high and professionally finished standard.

Placement Research - Australia

So i have been looking into different design houses and studio's etc looking out for a placement. I would love to get a placement in Australia while im over there for a month in July, so i thought where is the harm in having a look? Below are several different design houses from Melbourne (Australia) which i am fairly interested in ... enjoy!

Girling Design (Below) Australian based design studio 'Girling Design' has a fairly complex website compared to its rivals. I originally found it misleading and hard to understand what i was actually choosing and looking at. However after really getting into it, i was amazed and loved every piece of work they had produced. This studio is on the placement hit-list!

Kinart (Below) Australia and America based 'Kinart' has a very simple website. Easy to use but clearly constructed for a follower of design to use. Their work reflects a lot of the style of which their own website is set out. This could be seen as negative, however i have been told, true designers only use two or three type faces and at times the usual colours. Beautiful website, and very professional work ranging across different media.

Lemonade (Below): A Melbourne (Australian) based design agency. I love the style and flow of their website. The work comes across at a very high and professional standard. This studio is on my hit-list of possible placements.

Creative CV - Research

So i decided to take some time out from the brief i am currently doing to make some preperation for the upcoming PPD group talks. I decided a good thing to research at this stage was creative cv's. Below are some which i found online which are giving me one or two new ideas for my own inventive, creative cv.
