Who Khaki Creative suits
- Junior designers, illustrators and content creators
- Applicants who want a warm, hand-made feel rather than a corporate one
What works well
- Neutral khaki tones are softer than most coloured templates.
- Skills are plain text items, easy to edit.
What to watch out for
- Decorative patterns suit creative roles but look out of place in corporate applications.
- A designer's resume is judged partly as a design sample — make sure spacing stays consistent once your own text is in.
- Two columns: keep a text-based copy for portals.
How this layout reads
A header sits over two columns. Readers take in the header first and then usually read the wider column; the narrower column works best for short reference information such as skills, certifications and contact.
Suggested section order
- Contact details and a one-line target role
- A two- or three-line summary
- Education (with CGPA or percentage if it helps)
- Projects and internships
- Skills
- Certifications, achievements and activities
You can hide any section you do not need in the builder.
Tips for this template
- Put your portfolio link with your contact details; for design roles it matters more than the resume.
- Use the colour picker to change the accent colour; darker shades print more reliably.
When to choose a different template
- Choose Mocha Creative for designers who want a timeline and a references block (Pro).
- Choose Modern Bordered for a free, simpler single-column layout (Free).
Before you start
- Write or paste your content into a separate document first — the builder does not save your entries if you close the tab.
- Open the template, fill in each section and check the live preview beside the form.
- Download the PDF. If you are uploading to a job portal that reads your file, also prepare a text-based version (see formatting a resume software can read).
Questions about this template
Is Khaki Creative free?
You can open, fill in and preview it without paying. Downloading the PDF needs the Pro plan (₹99 for 30 days) or higher.
Does the downloaded PDF have selectable text?
No. The PDF download from our builder is image-based: it reproduces the design exactly, but the text cannot be selected or copied. That is fine for emailing a person or printing. For job portals that read the text out of your upload, keep a text-based copy of your resume as well, or type your details into the portal's form.
Is my resume saved if I close the page?
No. The builder works in your browser and does not save your entries to an account. Keep your text in a separate document and download the PDF before you close the tab.
Do I have to add a photo?
No. The photo area is part of this design, but you can leave it empty. For most jobs in India, the US, the UK, Canada and Australia a photo is not expected; if you will not use one, a template designed without a photo area usually looks better.
