Link to chosen pictures

These are just a few of my favorite spotted cvs. I think they have a very modern and creative feel to them, Some of these images are outstanding and draw your eye immediately when you spot the curricula vitae. From order top to bottom are my most and least favorite, i'm not to fond of the one above because of the bright pink colour and retro look to the CV but overall that could have a good effect for her and finding herself a graphic job, hence why i chose to display this CV in my collection

Funding

We had a short presentation on funding (Notes!!)

• You can approach banks (which require a business plan)
• Banks now-ere days are not giving out as much money as you would require (due to the rescission) 
• Always keep a paper trail of your process (with the employer). Contracts, Invoices, Overstatements.
• Always keep your records (you will be taxed)
• Always finish with a thank you and ask them to thank you back.

Going freelance

As part of our PDP project we had to have a Freelance presentation. Where we learnt about the highs and lows of freelance work.

• With online technology your able to expand yourself all across the web
• Biggest downfall of going freelance is the whole marketing aspect- You will find it hard to market your work and budget your time.
• Always make business cards (Also any opportunity to get your name or logo put onto something do it).
• Never be afraid to ask,email or phone companies about work and possible future roles.
• 9% of the time its all based on the word of mouth. Getting yourself out there requires people to no your name and what you do.
• Take small jobs first gives you a lot more experience- Maybe it'll lead to bigger and more exciting jobs
• start by using social networking, blogs, websites etc. (Get yourself known)

Presentation (Geigy)

 Connor

Slide 5

The designers were encouraged to reject the tired design concepts and visuals present in much of the competition and were instead required to engage in aesthetic exploration. Geigy sold medical products, chemicals and pesticides all with a distinctive but diverse visual approach, their minimalist graphic design in the 40’s and 50’s harkens back to a time when product design, even medical packaging looked both aesthetically stylish, and utilised a kind of 'minimalist cool' seen much less frequently in most modern packaging design. The chemical products and scientific subject matter lent itself to a high degree of visual abstraction and clinical reduction. Geigy were known as unique because they completely melded design for products with product manufacturing

Presentation (Dyson)

Dyson Presentation

Introduction: Connor

Slide 1 

Dyson Ltd is a British technology company, founded in 1993 by James Dyson, who designs and manufactures vacuum cleaners, hand dryers and other electronical devices. Dyson machines can be found in over 45 different countries and it has always been a global company. At first Dyson struggled to find someone who wanted to buy the design of the hover DC01, companies such as Hoover didn’t want to license the design, probably because the vacuum bag market was worth $500m, so the Dyson (DC01) was a threat to their profits. But in 1983 there was a breakthrough, a Japanese company named Apex licensed James design and built the G-Force, which appeared on the front cover of Design Magazine the same year. After making a good amount of profit of the G force using the income from the Japanese licence, James Dyson set up his now known Company Dyson and he also opened a research centre and factory in Wiltshire, England in June 1993. Which now is Home to fewer than 650 engineers, the Dyson Research Design and Development Centre in Wiltshire was designed by architect Chris Wilkinson. It was also engineered to reduce environmental impact which means there's no air conditioning, displacement ventilation is used to blow cool air in at floor level while warm air naturally rises and is dispersed through vents in the roof. Dysons first production of a dual cyclone vacuum cleaner featuring constant suction was the DC01, sold for £200. The DC01 became the biggest selling vacuum cleaner in the UK in just 18months. After the introduction of the cylinder machine many more improved models of the DC01 where in action this then led onto air-powered technologies such as, the Air Blade hand drier, the Air Multiplier bladeless fan and Dyson Hot, the bladeless fan heater.
