Black and white is a timeless colour combination and, while ink-intensive, is an easy way to build a cohesive appearance to a CV. It is simple, effective, and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Minimalism has been a mainstay of popular culture over recent years and I think this style works very well on a CV, it leaves all unnecessary details and distracting graphics out so the reader can focus on the important stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a huge fan of shades of pinks and purples, this really caught my eye and I think I would definitely look to use similar colours in my own design. I associate myself more with lavender however so that’s what I would use, these colours could be nice accents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I really appreciate about this example is the two-column method of separating the information; the key details are in the colour blocked column underneath the image, and then further information is beyond that, breaking apart all necessary information in a very tidy manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above is the CV which I have had for a few years now, and it is somewhat simplistic but I feel it gets the job done effectively. Each subheading is highlighted to add some interest to the page and break up the pieces of text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is my altered version edited using Adobe Illustrator. It now uses blue lozenges as subheadings instead of the red text, as red text is a bit too aggressive for something such as a CV. The blue is more appealing to the eye and looks kinder, the lozenges look more professional than simply changing the text colour. It is now a PDF so that whoever receives this cannot edit it on my behalf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
