Posters, CV’s, Business Cards, Design Decks and Cover Letters

We went deeper into CV’s, Business cards, Design decks and cover letters for the future of our employability. During Henrys lesson all I could think of was working on certain areas to help improve my employability. Like for our major project we had to create posters for short film, then think about how we will present our work to the audience. As well as our updated versions of our CV’s cover letters and optional business cards. It gave me thoughts on on recreating my logo on my CV and updating it this year 2024. 

Our group continued onward with our poster designs by narrowing them down from 2 to 1 with our own sketches and sharing them with each other to find out which design will we go for. Since we are off the next 3 Fridays, we will take this time to focus on our poster and how we will present our work to our future employers.  

Poster Design and Workshop

The second week of creative futures took us in the direction of the major project which includes creating our own poster designs for our short film and show it off to our future employers from countless businesses. Henry talked about Design thinking and why it is significant for us to have a poster for our short film with the concept, contrast, hierarchy and grid.  As well as getting an emotional response from it’s viewers to have a conscious level of it with the positive design from viewing the poster and editing it in a proper layout and design. 

Our tasks for the creature future was to draw concept posters, 3 each on what our poster for our short horror/thriller film be. Sarah, Dylan and I had drawn concept art designs and our short film and try to narrow it down to one. 

Module Introduction

This Friday’s class introduced us to creative futures which will help with future employment during our major project short films which will be for the end of the year show once we graduate afterwards. We were informed of our assignment for this semester which will take place after our finalised major project, giving us this time for Fridays to make poster, banners, showcase our work and how we will present to our future employers from our chosen platforms. 

To give us time to update our arts and creations on multiple platforms to showcase our CV’s, showreels and portfolios near the end of semester 2. Near the end of the lesson I had discussed with other team members about our short film and creating a poster for it. We each had a task of designing 3 sketches of what our poster could look like to represent our horror thriller film by collecting inspirations and references which follow the same formula with our plot. We used to gather references and inspirations including other short films to help with our short film pipeline.
