Proff Practice FDA1 and 2

I found this designers self promotional book - it is very well put together and presented, just enough personality to make an impression - but clear, concise and professional looking. It also follows closely the rational layout that I gave you all. There is a nice stylistic theme running through but enough control to make the work itself stand out.

Look carefully at how he presents himself on page 1 - and his well designed 3 column CV on the last page.

The important thing to communicate well, and to present yourself as a talented designer. It's a very competitive industry - and weakness or lack of skill on your CV ( generally the first point of contact ) and you have little chance of progressing.

I've already talked through quite a few CV's - made some suggestions and changes etc - once you have made your corrections, come back to me with a live Adobe Indesign file with all the text in place and I'll go through each one with you and complete.

I've emphasised this a few times - the marks that are given for this module really help your final grade - so don't look at it as a chore - it's part of your creative progression.
