Creative resume template
Creative opens with a full-width color masthead and gives the rest of the page an editorial rhythm. It shows taste without the risks of a heavily designed resume: underneath the color, the structure is a clean single column.

What Creative does well
A memorable first impression
The masthead gives you a signature look in a pile of plain resumes, in a color you choose.
Structure under the style
Below the banner it’s a single column, so it still parses cleanly and reads fast.
Works beside a portfolio
It carries your visual sense without competing with your actual work. Put the portfolio link front and center.

- Content and copywriting
- Media and communications
- Brand roles
Is Creative ATS-friendly?
The color masthead is a background behind real text, so your name and contact details still parse. The body is a single column with standard headings.
Tips for writing in Creative
- Choose an accent from your personal brand or portfolio so the two feel connected.
- Keep the portfolio URL short and in the header; recruiters click it before they read.
- Show results as well as craft: campaign reach, conversion lifts and launches.
Before you send it, run it through the ATS resume checker, and tailor it to the job description you’re applying for.
