Who this template is for
This template is for roles where presentation is part of the job, and where handing in a neutral resume would almost be a contradiction. Design, advertising, media, events: the recruiter is looking for a sign that you know how to compose a page. It is also a good pick for a heavily contested opening, when the document has to be recognisable in the middle of a stack, or for a junior profile with a short track record that gains from filling the space differently.
How the layout is built
The header is centred: your name, the target role, then a row of contact details on a single line. Each section then opens on a large two-digit number, 01 for experience, 02 for education and so on, which acts as a progress marker. The experience entries keep a classic structure, role on the left and dates on the right, company and location as a subtitle, achievements as bullets. The type is Nunito, whose rounded shapes soften the whole, and the purple touches only the numbers and the rules.
With or without a photo
No photo in this template: the visual identity comes from the colour and the numbering, and a portrait would compete with the centred name. For a creative resume with a photo, the closest combination is Modern with a custom accent.
ATS readability
The section numbers are decorative and never part of the heading itself: a parser reads “Experience”, not “01 Experience”. The body stays in one column, with no boxed panels or text frames, and the purple is a font colour rather than a background behind text. It is the most graphic template in the catalogue that nonetheless stays fully extractable.
PDF and Word export
The PDF keeps the flat purple areas and the weight of the numbers, which carry most of the effect. In DOCX the section numbers survive as text and the colour is preserved, but the rounded shapes and hairline rules are simplified: if the graphic rendering is your argument, send the PDF.
