If I want to become a professional in the animation industry I need to learn how businesses work and how to advertise myself correctly, so in business studies when we were given the task of designing our own business cards and writing out a CV I made sure that both final results looked up to professional standard.
I needed to look at examples first of course, just so I knew what to aim for!
CVs were easy enough to find online, but I had to search high and low for the more creative, unique looking ones that were more appropriate for artists. I definitely didn't want just a bland, boring looking CV. I want mine to really stand out and look unique!

Business cards were definitely easier to research in to and I found many different examples that I really loved the look of! Business cards are important and need to represent everything about your work in a small amount of space so I knew I'd have to think about my own design thoroughly before deciding on a final design.
Once I'd looked at enough examples, I began work on my own CV and business card. I wanted my CV to be easy to skim over quickly, colour coded so the titles stood out and drew your attention and also included an example of my art as well to make it a little more personal!
Using the same colour scheme from my CV (and this blog) I began working on a design for my business card. I wanted it to work as a small representation of myself, so I used my favourite colours, displayed all my information professionally but also gave it a personal touch with the drawing of myself and the examples of my work on the back!
These are my final designs for both my CV and my business card, which I then had printed.
