Creative resume template
Dark accent sidebar with photo — made to stand out.
A dark accent sidebar with room for a photo makes this the boldest design in the set. Choose it for creative roles where standing out matters more than looking conventional.

Questions about the Creative template
- Do I need a photo for the Creative template?
- No. The sidebar has space for one, but it closes up neatly when you leave the photo out. Add one only if it is normal for your field and country.
- Can I make the Creative sidebar lighter?
- The sidebar takes your accent colour, so a pale accent gives a soft sidebar and a deep one gives the dark look in the preview. The text colour adjusts to stay readable.
- Is the Creative resume template ATS-friendly?
- All text stays real and selectable, so ATS software can read it. For a very strict job portal, a single-column template is the safest pick. Creative exports as a text-based PDF with standard section headings, never as an image, so every word can be read and searched.
- Is the Creative template free to download?
- Yes. Sign in with Google, pick Creative in the editor, fill in your details and download the PDF. There is no watermark, no paid tier and no limit on downloads.
