Portfolio, CV and Cover Letters - Examples

[JesseJacob]

Gday guys,

This thread is dedicated to examples of portfolios, CV's and cover letters.

I have found referring to others work very helpfull. So if you have good examples/precedents hidden away, or your own work, post it up!

There is one rule in this thread: NO POSTS WITHOUT ATTACHMENTS, eg please dont post comments like: "wow, thats such a good...." make sure to include another precedent with all comments. Eg: "Jesse you have no clue mate, the attached portfolio is much better than any of your other examples".

Cheers.

Jesse - What size is this intended to be printed as?

Your "CONTENTS" etc seem unnecessarily massive. Text sizing etc is a good way of creating an impact, however, I think that a huge double page spreads page saying "CONTENTS" and "APPROACHES" actually detract the viewer from appreciating the quality of your work.

Perhaps inflate the point size of your uniform descriptive text by 5 or 6 and top left justify the words, unbolden and play them down a bit whilst still retaining the impact of the double page spread for the section title.

Just for me - those words are SHOUTING from the page and overpowering everything else.
