Creative resume templates
Creative templates carry more personality — editorial serifs, a poster-sized name, work samples before employment — for designers, writers, PR and brand people. Most of them still read in a straight line, so they survive an ATS. Aside and Creative use a tinted side panel and are labelled as two-column.

How to choose
- Portfolio when your work samples matter more than your job titles.
- Broadsheet or Editorial for writers, editors, PR and communications.
- Bold or Poster when you want the page itself to be confident.
- Aside or Creative only when a person, not a portal, reads it first.
Do not let the design replace the portfolio. Put a portfolio link at the top; that is where your creative work is judged.
Questions
Do creative resumes work in India?
At agencies, studios and brands where a person reads every resume, yes. For large companies that use a portal, a single-column creative template such as Portfolio or Editorial is safer than a two-column one.
Should a designer's resume be designed?
Lightly. Recruiters judge design skill from the portfolio, and a resume that is hard to read counts against you. Clean type and good spacing say enough.
