Logo designs

Existing Logo designs This is a logo for a business card. The logo is small and effective which is perfect for a business card. The colour gold stands out a lot with a black background. It is also a unique colour as not many companies use gold for a logo. They have made something simple and made it look very effective. The company isn't very well known itself so it is surprising that a small business could have this design turn out so well.  Here is a collage of 12 different logos. The logos are advertising local businesses. They aren't as appealing as the other logo however they are still effective. They have clearly took time in designing the background as it resembles the area where the business is based. Therefore this would be a nice touch for the people who are from that area to have a landmark on the logo that is local.  Here is a collage of famous logos from successful business. All these logos are nowhere near as detailed as the logos by the smaller businesses. This sh

Personal Statement

What is a personal statement  A personal statement is a written description of your achievements and interests. Personal statements are mainly used for universities. It is to make you stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons. The focus of it is to tell the reader your unique qualities. This will help make the university choose you over the other candidates. Personal Statement Examples Here is an example of a personal statement. The girl who wrote this has met most of the requirements that you need in a personal statement. She has made a 500 word summary of herself about things from hobbies to education. The idea of a personal statement is to make it unique and make the university/ college want to accept you instead of others who are applying and she has done her best to try and make this happen.   This is another example of a personal statement. This one is different as it shows his struggles as a child with learning difficulties. The majority of this personal statement is ex

  What is a CV A CV is a short written summary of a person's career. This includes education, work experience and qualifications. CV is an abbreviation for 'curriculum vitae'. It is mainly used for applying for jobs. It is very useful as it is a good chance to make a great first impression. A CV can and should definitely change over time. This is if you end up getting more jobs which you can add to the work experience section of the CV. You can also add new skills that you develop. Also, if you resit an exam you can then change your result to your new one.  CV examples This is an example of a perfect CV. The woman who made this has met all the requirements of a CV. She has added every education and job. She's also added details of the work and job role that she did at her job. She has also added the academic achievements and awards she received doing that job. Her address and contact information so the people who view her CV can get in touch with her if need be. She has

B1: Progression

My Inspirations    My inspirations are seeing media companies build from scratch and become huge in the media industry. For example the likes of Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. The creators of these apps had started it from scratch to where it is today. The likes of mark Zuckerberg stand out and his journey to fame. He was told by the university that the websites he created were too inappropriate and he now owns two of the biggest social networks in the world. Mostly his perseverance and determination to succeed inspires me the most after being put down by the industry so many times.  Potential options for the future As I have been researching possible options for my future I have mainly been looking at university courses within the media industry. One that stands out is a media course at Sunderland university. This is because it is easy to get to and that particular course has very good reviews. The course consists of looking at media theory and studying film. They cover the historic
