About the Compass template

Compass opens on a deep band of the accent with the name in white capitals and a round portrait, ringed in white, hanging off the band into the column below. Under it a tinted column of contact, skills, languages and whatever the writer adds sits beside a near-white column where each section is headed by a filled disc holding its own icon. A rail drops out of that disc and runs the length of the section, with a hollow marker beside every entry, so the whole right-hand side reads as one timeline.

How it is built

  • A round portrait ringed in white, hanging off the accent band into the column beneath it
  • A filled accent disc holding a different icon for each section
  • A rail dropping out of each disc with a hollow marker beside every entry
  • Job and school entries built alike, with their dates ranged right on the bold line
  • A tinted column beside a near-white one, split at the same point as the band above
  • Headings in wide-spaced accent capitals over an accent rule
