With photo

This layout carries visual elements. For high-volume applications through a careers portal, export a second version from the ATS family with the same content.

The photo sits in the header in a sharp square frame — the language of a portfolio grid.

Bold three-column agency grid; sections spread across the columns. The page sits on a three-column grid with sections distributed unevenly but deliberately. Experience takes the wide column while supporting detail drops into the narrow ones — the composition expected in advertising and art direction applications.

Layout

How the Design Classic template is built

Knowing how information sits on the page before you pick a template directly affects how your application gets read.

Agency grid

The page sits on a three-column grid with sections distributed unevenly but deliberately. Experience takes the wide column while supporting detail drops into the narrow ones — the composition expected in advertising and art direction applications.

Typography

Body and headings share one sans-serif family, reading equally cleanly on screen and in print.

Section headings

A fine rule sits under each section heading, making the boundaries clear without using colour.

Use of colour

Colour appears only in fine rules and headings; the rest of the page stays white.

Density

Generous line spacing and plenty of white space. On short and mid-length resumes it lets the page breathe instead of forcing it to look full.

How skills are presented

Skills are grouped as technical, tools and soft, so an employer finds the category they are looking for directly.

When not to choose this template

  • High-volume applications screened automatically by large employers
  • Applications where the employer mandates its own template
  • Very long career histories running past three pages

You can compare the alternatives side by side in the template comparison table.

Frequently asked questions

About the Design Classic template

Is the Design Classic template ATS-friendly?

ATS compatibility for this template is rated “good”. This layout carries visual elements. For high-volume applications through a careers portal, export a second version from the ATS family with the same content.

Does the Design Classic template include a photo?

The photo sits in the header in a sharp square frame — the language of a portfolio grid. A photo is not required: turn off “Show photo on resume” in the editor and the area is removed, with the page falling back to its photo-free layout.

Can I change template later?

Yes. The template is only a presentation layer; what you write is stored separately and carries over intact when you switch.

Will the PDF match this preview?

Yes. The preview and the PDF come from the same component: A4 (210×297 mm), accented characters and a selectable text layer are all preserved.

Can I change the colour in the Design Classic template?

Yes. The accent colour control in the editor applies to this template too — pick any of the six presets.
