Creative resume template
Creative wraps your name and contact line in a softly tinted band with an accent border, then uses Space Grotesk, a geometric sans with character, for the rest of the page. Section titles are accent capitals with a short underline. It gives a creative application some color without the multi-column tricks that confuse parsers.

Creative template questions
Is Creative ATS-safe even with the colored header?
Yes. The color is a background behind normal text. The name, contact details and headings are all selectable text in one column.
Which accent colors work best?
The default is emerald. Any mid-tone accent works; very light colors make the headings harder to read.
