Study Task 9

Here is my attempt of a creative CV from the info i have been told from the session. There still needs to be more experince and such but i went for a fun messy look to fit the style of my creative practice and work. I do think that this probably will be too casual as CVs go.

study task 8

\

I think we worked well as a group on this project we made sure everyone got involved in different ways so certain members weren't carrying too much work throughout the project. I think this helped by good communication within the group. We did find it difficult to organise ourselves meeting times but once that was sorted we all communicated well and researched our project well as a team. I for example was in charge of the promotion and the branding of our business which i very much enjoyed researching and crafting. I made sure the logo for example included some of our members work to let the team involved as much as possible. Overall, i think it went well and i would happily work with everyone involved again.

- selling work i will still own copyright to this image that i sell.
- sending work off for a live brief could affect the copyright of work depending on what the small print says.

Study task1: self portrait

Comedic illustrations
From my questionnaire I gathered that over the past year i have developed my craft into a humorous and fun based style of work. With the strengths being the humour of the narrative of the work as well as the way it has been crafted. I want to keep going with my paper cuts and develop this further either through screen printing or through mix media. I think overall, my confidence within my work has improved which is important for my practice as humour needs to come across confidently to work well. However, I still feel like my confidence in communicating needs to improve in order to get my work seen outside of the university.

Humorous and unusual tv shows
