About the Tawny template
Tawny is a plain two-column student resume on a white page with no photo. The head is split: a caramel block runs in from the top left corner of the paper with its bottom right corner rounded and the name in white inside it, and at the top right the email, address and phone number stand one over another, each a small bold label over its value in grey. Every heading below, a section the writer adds included, is a bold dark label in title case, and a thin grey rule runs across the column above each one except the first. The wide column carries the profile, a skills summary of bold subheadings over bullets and the work history, with each role written on one plain line of role, employer and dates; the narrow column carries the degree, written the same way over its modules and projects, and the technical skills as bullets that open on a bold group name. It suits a student or recent graduate applying for an internship or a first graduate role, who wants a calm page with one warm block of colour.
