About the Cove template
Cove opens on a band split in two: a pale wash of the accent behind a large circular photo on the left, plain paper behind the name on the right, and a solid accent bar across the foot of it carrying the job title in white. The photo is drawn wide enough to hang over that bar. Below the band a tinted column of contact, profile, skills and languages runs the full height of the page beside a white column of experience and education, and skills and languages are ticked rather than bulleted.
