Creative CVs: Research

What is it:

A CV with a more creative approach, such as a video CV. The CV is used to receive a job in the creative industries, including marketing, art and design. The more creative, the higher the risk.

What might be included:

• Images, relating to artistic work that will relate to the job. Screenshots of films or photos taken. 
• An artistic statement, explanation of work or collection
• Video CV: video of creativity. DVD.
• Links to videos with personal involvement. Must have some credit in the videos.
• Embedded video clips, instead of links, of personal involvement.
• Infographic CV: graphs and charts illustrating information.
• Something unique and creative with a tonne of personality, cupcakes with QR codes on for example.
• A non-traditional format, with different fonts, colours and different layout.
• Text printed onto objects instead of paper. For example: cupcakes, pizza, chocolate bars, billboards, CDs/DVDs, milk cartons, video games etc
• Website links.

My Ideas:

• Book formatting, with front and back cover.
• Text transformed into a story or script/screenplay.
• Something relating to writing. 
• Newspaper format.
