I designed my CV for a job as an animator. It allows myself to show off my art skills, for example in the place of a photo I drew myself. The overall design of it is cartoonish, which is the usual style of animation. The sketchy design of it portrays that I would like to be a storyboard artist in the animation industry.
I have used muted, complementary colours of red and green as they compliment each other. They subconsciously show that I am passionate (from the red) and energized (as green is an active colour). The blue and yellow background gradient sets a soft, calming and relaxed feel to my CV.
The decorative font I used for my titles is called orangejuice. I used it because it looks sketchy and matches the theme of my CV without looking too excessive. Nyala Regular is the font I used for the information on my CV. It is sans-serif and matches orangejuice to create a small font family. All of the text on my CV is correctly tracked and kerned with appropriate leading and sizing.
The main design of my CV features a tree- this represents that I am ready to grow and learn throughout the job, as well as that I am well balanced. It looks simple yet effective, with no negative space. There's also the Gestalt theory principle of continuity in the design as you follow along the branches to read the sections throughout the CV.
