About the Slant template
Slant opens with a band of the accent, a dusky pink by default, across the head of the page, tilted so both its edges rise to the right, with a thin white line along its top and a wedge of the accent's pale tint above it in the corner the tilt leaves open. The name sits inside the band in white capitals, the first name heavy and the surname light, and a large round portrait straddles the band's lower edge over the narrow column, half on the colour and half on the white page. Under the band the narrow column carries the contact details behind small dark icons and the skills as a bulleted list, each under a heading in accent capitals, and the wide column opens on the profile centred under a centred heading with a rule beneath it, the one ruled heading on the page. Work history and education follow under the same accent capitals with no rule, a role in bold over the employer, city and dates on one lighter line, and a section the writer adds takes the same heading. It suits a designer, a photographer or anyone creative who wants a photograph and one strong colour on an otherwise plain page.
