OUGD602 - PPP3 - A design presence/ Personal Branding - Updated CV and Covering Letter

As outlined in the previous post I've made today for applying for Disney (again) I just wanted to show how I've updated my CV and covering letter since, well the last time I used it - when I applied for Disney International programs in summer 2013.

Here is my old CV and covering letter;



This is not the last one I designed, but the last one I used! I designed it in the summer of 2013 during my last online application. Looking at it now it's just awful, but I can see that I wanted to stand out, I imagined a big pile of CV's and wondered how to make mine the most garish, I guess.

I then designed this one last year: - 



But never got around to using it. I like what I designed but looking at it it still looks rather juvenile, again, in an attempt to create something a bit different and again - garish! I like the colours and nod toward mid-century style but I think it narrows my audience a bit too much and it needed to be made more simple.

Here is the CV I designed/ used most recently for my applications at Disney Pro Interns:



I borrowed elements of the mid century style used in my last CV but the format just wasn't practical, plus I think that this simplified version is more modern and better suited for it's purpose.
