The detail

About this template.

Creative hiring works differently. A resume alone rarely gets a response, and a full portfolio site is too much to ask a recruiter to visit at the screening stage. This kit solves the gap: a designed resume plus a mini portfolio you can attach as one PDF, giving a hiring manager credentials and visual proof in a single open.

What's included

  • Resume template — profile, skills with proficiency bars, experience timeline, tools grid, education, and a footer strip for location, availability and contact
  • 6-page mini portfolio — cover, four project pages, and an About the Work closing page
  • Project page structure — one hero image, three supporting thumbnails, and a fixed Scope / Role / Year footer per project
  • 6 curated color palettes — terracotta, olive, plum, slate blue, mustard, and monochrome
  • Guide covering image sizing, export settings and PDF compression for email

Specifications

  • Documents: 1 resume + 6-page portfolio
  • Formats: InDesign (.indd), Illustrator (.ai), Canva, Word
  • Page size: A4 & US Letter
  • Images: Placeholder frames — drop your own artwork in
  • Fonts: Free fonts, download links included
  • Software: InDesign, Illustrator, free Canva account, or Word

Working with it: portfolio images sit in proper placement frames — drag your artwork in and it crops to fit without distorting the grid. Skill bars and the tools dot grid are editable objects, not images. The Canva version is provided as a template link for anyone without Adobe software, and the Word version covers the resume only.

Right for graphic designers, art directors, brand and visual identity designers, UI/UX designers, illustrators and marketing creatives — at any level from junior applying for a first studio role to senior building a leave-behind.

Straight answers.

Anything not covered here — get in touch or read the full FAQ.

How is this file built for applicant tracking systems?
The layout is built without tables, text boxes, or hidden columns in the content a parser reads, and it uses standard section headings such as Experience, Education and Skills. The reading order in the file matches the order you see on the page, so a text extraction returns your history in sequence. Every tracking system parses differently, so we describe how the document is constructed rather than promising a particular outcome.
What software do I need to edit it?
Microsoft Word, or a free Google account. Each pack includes a .docx file and a Google Docs version you copy into your own Drive; most also include an Apple Pages file. All of them export to PDF when you are ready to send. There is nothing to install and no proprietary editor to learn.
How does delivery work?
It is a digital download. Your files unlock as soon as payment clears — they appear in your account immediately and a link is emailed to you at the same time. Nothing ships, and you can re-download the files whenever you need them.
What does the licence cover?
Unlimited personal use. Edit the files as often as you like and tailor a fresh version for every role you apply to, for as long as you want. What you cannot do is resell, redistribute, or share the template files themselves as your own product.
