The format of the cv itself is good but in order to grab more of the attention of potential employers etc. I was advised to make it sound less like a cv, less formal and cold so it feels more personal and more like myself. I do agree with this 100% and feel that the content, so far is lacking in personality! It needs to be a little more fun and playful because that's what I am and my work is all about! So this is what I will be working on next - trying to bring more personality into the written side of things!
I also asked about whether I should make a completely new Tumblr account for my work only, and John said that there is no need to, because actually the collection of other people's work that I have on my blog would enable other people to see the type of work that drives me, excites and inspires me. So that is well good! - But I am thinking of maybe creating/having my own website, which will act as a kind of official professional online portfolio, the entirety of it consisting of only my work - I will have to get researching and planning if I want to set one up though! I think I will ask my web developer friend if he could help me out!
Things to do (if making a website is a go):
- Look at how other creatives have laid out their websites
- Look at how they have applied their identity to it so that it is consistent with their type of work, tone of voice and everything else that they do
- Analyse what I like and don't like and take that away so I can start building up the structure of my own website
- Need to research more into registering a domain name and all that jazz!
