The Pitch

PC vs Mac

When it comes to Mac vs PC each have their high points and each can be considered the better system depending on the users needs.

PCs are very family orientated. A typical TV advert for a windows device will show the entire family using the system whereas an Apple advert will show mainly adults using their device as they are not marketed to younger markets. Outside of the creative industries Macs are typically purchased by people in the 30s-40s age bracket and windows typically attract people in their teens and 20's.

 Macs
+ As Macs are built for designers they typically have more accurate colour and resolution.
+Macs are built  in-line with higher end computers with better components.
+Faster processing speed
+Less likely to contract a virus.
+Much higher customer satisfaction rate.

PC
+ PC's have got a larger consumer base as software developers prefer making stuff for windows
+The vast majority of PC's are much cheaper than the standard Mac
+Windows computers have a wider variety of models with different specs, making it easier to find a PC to suit your specific needs.
+More RAM, hard disk space and USB ports

CV Examples

The previous post shows my current CV however i have research other CV's from people in my field and have discovered many very creative examples. Approaching the creation of a CV as if it were a piece of art would be very beneficial as it would make you instantly memorable to a potential employer whilst also showing your skills as a designer.








The above are some of the most creative examples of a CV which i could find. They show that your CV can essentially look however you want it to and your design skills will be on show before and meeting or portfolio viewing by an employer. A dull CV will automatically send out the message that you lack the skill or creativity to excel in the industry and could potentially ruin your chances of a successful interview before the employer even reads it.
