I printed a double sided version of my CV and manifesto.
After going to workshops about CVs I found that all these fancy designed CVs can often put employers off. So I went for a really simple, easy to read layout with a drawn portrait of me that I used within the hotdog book I sent out to studios earlier this year. It contains my work experience, education, and a small personal statement. I found that using software skills wasn't necessary and would have just cluttered up my CV.
My manifesto again is really simple. I wanted to just show what inspires me to design. A lot of the points on my manifesto are quite common but I believe that I have taken them aboard my design process, like "do good work for nice people". I believe that throughout the years at university I have grown a real love for design, more than I had before. It's made me passionate about designing for good. I would never want to accept a job that had a huge payout that was a subject I didn't agree with. This is because I believe that design is improved when you enjoy it or feel passionate about the subject. I also really believe in being empathetic with others and therefore understanding any situation that they may be in. And of course, the most important thing is to be happy while you design. If it doesn't make you happy, don't do it. I believe life is way too short to being doing something that doesn't make you happy.
