The ULTIMATE image

I've learnt a lot of useful information from business class, including the art of selling myself (for lack of a better term) to clients and advertising my work correctly so I have a better chance at being hired.

Along with this blog and my personal portfolio website I was also told to make an ultimate image, sort of like a really cool movie poster that advertises me as an artist and person, so when I started work on it I knew I had to make it very bright, fun and just as geeky as me.

So, what better way to do that than draw myself posed like Link on the cover of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, right?

Business, business, business, numbers....

If I want to become a professional in the animation industry I need to learn how businesses work and how to advertise myself correctly, so in business studies when we were given the task of designing our own business cards and writing out a CV I made sure that both final results looked up to professional standard.

I needed to look at examples first of course, just so I knew what to aim for!

CVs were easy enough to find online, but I had to search high and low for the more creative, unique looking ones that were more appropriate for artists. I definitely didn't want just a bland, boring looking CV. I want mine to really stand out and look unique!
