What this template is for
Free Photoshop Resume Template 103 is a dramatic one-page resume that blends a formal portrait with expressive black brushwork. It is aimed at graphic designers and illustrators, but it would also suit creative directors or fashion professionals seeking a strong personal presentation. The design feels sophisticated and editorial, with a restrained monochrome palette that lets the portrait and typography carry the visual impact.
Design details
- A large portrait fills the upper-left corner and transitions into the white page through a rough diagonal paint-stroke mask.
- The candidate name appears in very large dark navy uppercase type, followed by a widely tracked creative job title.
- A centered professional summary bridges the expressive header and the structured resume content below.
- The lower area uses two equal columns separated by a thin vertical rule: academic highlights and contact details on the left, work experience and core skills on the right.
- Dark navy title bars with white rounded lettering give each section a bold, consistent anchor.
How to use it
- Download the ZIP file and open the editable source in Photoshop.
- Replace the portrait with a high-resolution image that has strong directional light and enough background for the brush mask.
- Update the name, creative specialty, summary, education, employment, skill list, and complete contact information.
- Limit each experience or education entry to a few focused bullets so the two columns finish at a visually similar height.
- Export the completed design as a high-quality PDF, then proof the contact details and small gray body text.

FAQ
Can I edit this resume in Photoshop?
Yes. The PSD format supports portrait replacement, text editing, color changes, and adjustments to the brush-mask composition.
What should I change first?
Start with the portrait and name because the header depends on their scale and placement. Fit the professional summary next, then work through the balanced columns.
Can I use it for job applications today?
Yes, particularly for agency outreach, portfolio meetings, and creative roles. Because the brush art and columns prioritize presentation, use a simpler text-first file when an employer specifically requests ATS formatting.
