Website and CV Development

Here's what I've done so far


I'm quite happy with it at this point. The transition between the pages is a swipe to the left, which I thing brings more personality and looks the best.

I've also made a start on my CV design. I'm again having trouble deciding which looks the best.


             






I really like the first one but it doesn't really work/match with my style of circles. I like the combination of the second but I thing the circles will be a problem concerning layout as they take up a large amount of space. I tried the opposite compromise which I feel works quite nicely but I do prefer the grey box at the bottom. Unsure of how to approach it; I may have to look into an entirely different layout.

I'm finding InDesign quite nice to use but it can be somewhat temperamental. I found that importing my logo as an image file causes it's quality to lessen in certain parts of the logo when I export the document. A solution I found though, is that if I import my Illustrator file straight in I don't seem to encounter these problems.

Everything else seem relatively simple to figure out most of the time. I had to ask how to wrap text but everything is in there you just have to take time to find it. I like the use of grids and guides to help with alignment of layout. Resizing images seems pretty odd to me; I'm not sure why it isn't as straight forward as the other Adobe programmes.

I also made these to use in my CV, Website and business cards.




I've made a few more changes to my CV to see if I could get the design right. I'm still not sure about it though.


It's feeling a bit cluttered at the top. I'm not sure how to arrange everything to keep it feeling clean and light.
