I have been hard at work making my portfolio website and it has finally all come together. Here is the process I followed to building it. Initially I started using SquareSpace for my website, as I had seen a lot of adverts for it on YouTube and on podcasts, but after an hour of trying to build a website, I decided that it was not appropriate for what I was trying to make. I found the User Interface to be counter productive at times, and I think you have to pay a subscription to continue using the service past the free trial. I am not opposed to investing in my portfolio as I will touch on later, but I got bad vibes from SquareSpace and instead moved over to Wix. Wix was a different story entirely. From the beginning I was asked what kind of website I wanted, if I wanted it to look minimal and simple or busy and dramatic, what colour scheme I was interested in etc. I found it really easy to build my website this way and found the whole process quite enjoyable. Per my le...
I have found a particular vacancy with Rockstar games that has me really excited about the opportunity to work there, so I have decided to tailor my CV, cover letter and gratitude letter to fit this particular job description, and I will then actually submit an application. The vacancy is for a Junior Production Designer who would be responsible for overseeing the creation of digital assets and content using Adobe Creative Cloud. I would be perfect for this job so I am doing my best to write an appropriate cover letter as well as a CV that surpasses the ATS. The ATS or Applicant Tracking System is a system that filters out CVs or resumes from other applicants. That is why I am tailoring my CV specifically for this job, by trying to include key words that are mentioned within the job description, such as "thrive under pressure" or "Proficient with Adobe Creative Suite". As for my cover letter, I have tried to make it stand out a bit by talking about my personal exp...
When considering the type of brand that I wanted to create for myself I knew a few things right away. First off, I wanted it to be pink. A majority of my projects throughout my studies have had a pink theme to them. Mostly it's because I just really like the colour, and I think it has made some of my projects perhaps stand out a bit more. But I have thought about this beyond just the colour, and I want to show employers that my reasoning for picking this colour is to show that I am a little bit quirky and different . It would be kind of boring and dull if I just went with some blue or grey design. That doesn't really fit my personality and so I wanted something that represented me. Additionally, when I asked my friend what I should consider for my personal brand he suggested pink. So there you go, I am pink. The exact hex code I have chosen is #B88393. This is a muted pink which makes it easy for white text and logos to stand out against it. I did have a light pink theme ini...
