Creative Resume Template

Creative leads with a colour banner across the top, with room for a photo, your name and your title, then moves into a structured body with marked section labels.

How the Creative layout works

It is the boldest layout here, but it is still built from ordinary headings and text rather than graphics — so it reads as designed without becoming the kind of file that arrives at an ATS as an unreadable block. The visual weight sits entirely in the banner; below it, the content stays conventional.

Who Creative suits

  • Design, marketing, media, advertising and front-of-house roles
  • Portfolios and applications sent directly to a hiring manager
  • Markets where a photo on the resume is expected

When to pick something else: Skip it for roles that screen blind or discourage photos, and for conservative industries — Classic or Professional are the right call there.
