About the Reef template
Reef runs a deep navy column down the left of the page with a thin stripe of the accent along its edge, and a white page beside it, with no photo. The column carries the contact details beside white icons, then its sections under white discs holding the section's icon in the navy: the hard skills one a line, the languages each over its level in italics. The wide column opens with the name in a light weight over the title, then the profile, then its sections under navy discs holding the icon in white, each disc the head of a rail that runs down through the entries with a dot of the accent at each one. A role reads as its title in bold, the employer beneath, the dates and city in italics at either end of a line, then bullets with accent markers; a certificate as its title over the provider and year in italics. A section the writer adds takes the same disc heading, and in the navy column its list is drawn as a row of soft chips, which is how the design sets its soft skills. It suits an animator, a designer or anyone in games and media who wants a page with some colour in it and no photograph.
