All 50 samples are original code-based designs, organized into ten layout families: classic, executive, sidebar, editorial, graduate, section rail, balanced columns, timeline, portfolio grid and compact blocks. The creative redesign gives the collection page-length sidebars, oversized editorial mastheads, monogram badges, rounded panels, label rails and contrasting identity blocks. Five restrained samples remain available for simple applications. Reference images, logos and seller artwork are not included. The searchable studio offers A4 and US Letter, dark readable body text, controlled accents, editable details, résumé/cover-letter/reference pages, plain-text download and browser printing to PDF.
The simple layout follows common formatting guidance; ATS compatibility is not certified. Sidebar and creative layouts are visual alternatives. Word and Google Docs versions are not included in this demo.
