			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is an example of how important feedback is during the process of creating a logo. I call it a process, since the inspiration stage is only one component and has to be well matched by other skills and tasks.</p>
<p>1 <strong>The design brief</strong>. First of all I received information on Chinthaka&#8217;s studio and past works, got to know present and future strategies and achievements. Useful to take everything into account and be sure of the final identity to achieve.</p>
<p>2 <strong>The research</strong> stage was  important to understand trends in the field of moving image, focus attention on the areas that best serve a film studio business, and in general the market trends. This is all crucial for a good brainstorm before sketching</p>
<p>3 <strong>Sketchpad</strong>: pencil and pens helped me jot down all the ideas, most of them were made redundant, but they were a fundamental part of the creative process. It&#8217;s an arena where some suggestions stick while others are tossed away and eventually the concept develops structure.</p>
<p>4 <strong>Rendering</strong> <strong>and Client feedback</strong> . The key ideas were transferred to Adobe Illustrator and new elaborations took place. At this stage, Chinthaka received a number of options: we discussed about the meanings and outcomes, colour options were considered as well.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-49" title="PF-logo-history" src="http://graphicpin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/PF-logo-history-225x300.jpg" alt="PF-logo-history" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p>5<strong> Presentation</strong>. Polished ideas were sent via PDF, aiming at letting the client view the final identity.</p>
<p>6 <strong>File creation</strong>. Original files for use in print and online supplied to Chinthaka. Files included vector artwork, raster files, and a letterhead template.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-51" title="platform2" src="http://graphicpin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/platform21-150x150.jpg" alt="platform2" width="150" height="150" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When asked for my business card today, I didn&#8217;t have one. Instead, I took out of my folder an A3 pamphlet, with portfolio and resume alltogether in one. Ok, I have to admit: it&#8217;s not my original idea, but something I came across on Jacob Share&#8217;s award-winning <a title="JobMob" href="http://jobmob.co.il/">JobMob</a>. This is a website filled with straight-talking real world advice, lots of humour and design inspiration such as <a href="http://" target="_blank">400+ Twitter Feeds of Job Openings From Around the World.</a></p>
<ol>The one page resume portfolio is a 6-panel pamphlet that shows your resume when folded and your design portfolio when unfolded.<strong> </strong></ol>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-28" title="gp-pamphlet-cv 4" src="http://graphicpin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/gp-pamphlet-cv-41-300x186.jpg" alt="gp-pamphlet-cv 4" width="300" height="186" /></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Front view of the resume portfolio, slightly open</strong>. You can see the designer’s logo and contact information. Notice the vertical bar on the right side of the inner panel, where the text reads “curriculum vitae” with a right arrow and “portfolio” with a left arrow pointing inside.</li>
<li><strong>Partially-open view of the portfolio</strong>.<br />
If you followed the left arrow and continued unfolding, this is what you’d see before you’re done. The panel with the arrow bar folds <em>outwards</em>, meaning that there’s actually more room for portfolio highlights inside.</li>
<li><strong>Resume details</strong>.<br />
Following the right arrow will have you flip over the pamphlet, leading to the actual resume content.</li>
</ol>
<p>There are many pros and cons for this pamhplet.</p>
<p>But usually the interviewer is surprised and very pleased to have this giant and colourful cv in his or her hands.</p>
<p>Bring along a classic resume just in case you are asked.</p>
