Layout

How the Design Split template is built

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

Name at magazine-cover scale, full-width detail band

The name occupies the top third of the page, with contact details set in a horizontal band between two rules. A portrait, when used, sits beside the name at editorial proportions. In design, fashion and brand roles the document itself reads as a piece of portfolio.

Typography

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

Section headings

Section headings are distinguished by weight alone, leaving no decorative element on the page.

Use of colour

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

Density

Line spacing is balanced — the middle ground between readability and fit for most applications.

How skills are presented

Skills are listed on one line separated by dots. It is the safest form for keyword matching.

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

Frequently asked questions

About the Design Split template

Is the Design Split 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 Split template include a photo?

The photo runs across the upper page as a large portrait at magazine-cover scale. 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 Split template?

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