About the Pebble template
Pebble is a page of pale grey paper with a band a step darker across its head. The name sits on the band in wide spaced capitals, the first name light and the surname bold, with the job title in small spaced capitals beneath, and a round portrait on the right hangs a quarter of its height below the band onto the page. Under the head a thin grey line runs straight down the page a third of the way across. The narrow column left of it opens on the contact details beside small dark icons and continues with the skills and the qualifications, and each of those sections is opened by a horizontal rule that runs out to the centre line and meets it at a small open ring, so the narrow column reads as a ladder of rungs. The wide column right of the line carries the profile, the work history and any section the writer adds, with no rules at all. Every heading, added sections included, is wide spaced bold capitals in the ink with nothing drawn under it. A role is its title in small spaced capitals over the employer and city in a lighter line, then the dates, then bullets; a degree is the award in the same capitals with its field after a colon, then the school and city, then the years. Skills are a bulleted list of plain names. One charcoal ink does the name, the headings and the wash on the band, so recolouring it recolours the whole page at once. It suits a developer, a designer or anyone in a technical field who wants a quiet page that still has a shape.
