About the Brass template
Brass opens on a name in large light capitals set wide apart, the job title in small spaced capitals beneath it, and the phone and email at the top right under a thin line that drops from the top edge of the page. A gold band runs in from the left edge across the narrow column with the website in spaced capitals, ending at a small black square that holds an opening quotation mark over the profile. The narrow column carries the address beside a pin, the degrees as the award in bold spaced capitals over the school and a short rule above the year, and the skills as a short list, with a black rule above each section after the first. The wide column sets the profile beside a thick black bar, and each role opens on a small black square with the title in bold spaced capitals over the employer, the start over the end at the right behind a thin rule, then a paragraph and its bullets. Every heading, a section the writer adds included, is a plain label in spaced capitals. It suits a graphic designer, a brand designer or anyone who wants a crisp page with one warm colour.
