About the Ripple template
Ripple is a two-column resume under a charcoal head band that runs the width of the page. At its left a round photo sits in a thin red ring; beside it the first name is set in white spaced capitals over the last name in red, with the job title in small bold capitals beneath, and at the right the phone, the email, the city and the profile link read down the band one to a line, each behind a plain icon with a thin rule between the lines. The band ends in a red ribbon that waves across the page, a pale red lens showing beneath its crest. Below it a charcoal column runs down the left of every page, opening on the profile as a justified paragraph with no heading, then the skills, the languages and the hobbies as bulleted lines. Every heading, in either column and a section the writer adds included, is a red band with its label centred in white capitals. On the white side a role reads the job title in bold spaced letters over the employer, the city and the dates on one line, then its duties as bullets, and a degree reads the award, the field and the year in bold over the school. It suits a firefighter, a tradesperson or anyone in an operational role who wants a bold page with a photo.
