creative CV'S I like and dislike

This is an example of a creative CV  that I like, this CV is to do with somebody who is a graphic designer and the way that they have made their creative CV is by making it look almost like a newspaper and on the pages where the smaller ads are kept, this also looks slightly like a comic book as well with the graphics on this page that not only look well designed but also suit each different part of the CV because each different graphic fits the different kind of sub headings.

also another cool feature about this is the colour scheme for the creative CV

however this creative CV I feel isn't that good one reason why I feel this isn't good is because all of the writing is wrapped around an image and this could make the CV difficult to read as the writing changes rotation around the page, compared to the CV above this one doesn't have as much structure and the layout is different where as the top CV is laid out better and a lot easier to read without having any difficulty of finding each part of the CV easily.












this is another CV which in general I don't like too much, the reasons for this are the fact it looks like too much text so this could get boring through reading it, the design in general may look good but this also looks messy with all the lines and not much space around the page so it makes it look cramped, also with the lines it does make some of the CV look a bit messed up and by that I mean almost like the CV has parts which are split to different sides of the page so for example something would start at the top left but also finish off at a different  irrelevant point on the page.






I like this example of a CV mainly because of it's clean and simple design, the colours mix well so it makes the CV look better and calmer instead of big bright colours, also the way that this is presented including at the bottom with the adobe logos for it's different software, also the layout for the text is simple but effective as it is easy to see the different parts and it's easy to read, also with not a large amount of text it makes the page nicer to look at as it is not filled with text.










this is the final CV that I like, the reason I like this one is although it has more text it is laid out clearly so each part of it is separated into different sections that are clear and easy to read, the colour scheme is also good helping show different parts of the CV as well as making it look good, for example the sub headings are colour coded differently to help show where they are and to stand out to the eye, also along with colours the graphics used help suit the CV and the general idea of who this person is and what they are able to do, and another good use of these graphics is to get a break from the text every now and again.
