Taking what I wrote for my CV and Cover letter, adding annotation and appropriate work from both my time at uni and before, as well as putting in a few nice transitions between pages, and I think I'm finally done.
For reference, here's my CV and cover letter pages, which now actually start the portfolio off, and retain the same theme, so as not to appear to "tagged on".
I keep it light and formal so avoid the standard pitfalls of looking and sounding identical to everyone else. I'm confident I capture all the relevant information and feel I represent myself well. Keeping the same style for these helps tie the whole thing together, and set the whole thing off as a nice, polished and well presented package. I have fallen in love. Again. It's just a shame it's only a mock application! Although I suppose in the real world, it wouldn't stand a chance! Still, it's been a great experience putting it all together, and certainly sets the scene for future adaptions and new designs.
Unfortunately, Blogger doesn't allow me to upload .swf files, so I can't post the finished thing here. But if you're reading this then chances are you've already got it anyway, so I suppose there's no need!
