About the Alcove template
Alcove splits the page into two painted columns, a taupe one at the left and a paler warm grey one at the right, both washed from a single brown. The left column opens on the photo cut to an arch over a brown ground, with two small four-point sparkles beside it, then carries the degrees and, at its foot, the contact lines. The right column opens on the name in large bold serif over the job title, each line set on a pale highlight like a label, above a rule that runs out to the edge of the page, then the profile with no heading. Every heading, a section the writer adds included, is its label in bold serif on the same pale highlight, sitting on a dark rule that runs to the edge of its column. Entries hang on a small plus sign: a role reads the employer and its dates in bold, then the title, then the story in smaller type, and a degree reads its years, then the award, then the school. The skills are names beside short rounded bars. It suits a marketer, a brand or interiors professional, or anyone who wants a warm, gallery-like page with a portrait.
