What is a Creative CV?

When producing a creative cv i need to answer some important questions


What is a Creative CV?
Who are you writing it for?
Who needs to read it?
Who will actually read it?
What do they need to know?
What do they want to know?



All of these are questions which will be answered when it comes to looking into my CV and how i want to put these together. This will become a way of working to put things together so that i can see how i want it to be laid out overall on the final outcome.

This task states
"Once you have identified your audience produce a creative cv that you can mail and email to your selected list. This should include your own contact details, a short personal statement, information about your practical skills, creative skills and interests as well as your professional experience, personal qualities and information about what makes you distinct from any other designer."


However i have not been able to get a creative cv which i would be happy to send out to creative industries, i will email the above however and begin to social network with them. Below i will post what i have achieved so far in terms of a CV, its a very pitiful effort as it was created when i were in first year, this will clearly be improved.
