PPD-My CV

For our PPD assessment we had to create our own portfolio PDF for when we have to apply for work experience. The deadline was today. This is my finished one those please do not judge the work as I had to put some in from my A Levels as my other work from this year consisted of an essay and the rest is not finished at the standard I want it to be yet. However I am happy with the design and layout of it at the moment.

Personal Professional Development (PPD)

All FDA students have to take part in a ten day work experience placement at the end of this year and so as part of PPD we have to create a portfolio in the form of a PDF, as Graphic Designers commonly email PDF portfolios to people who they want to work on projects with and its the same with work placements. The challenge is to appear as competent as possible so we can stand out the crowd of design students competing for placements!
