What this template is for
Free Photoshop Resume Template 72 is a bold black-and-white resume for web and software professionals who want a strong portrait-led layout. The sample is built for a web developer, with work experience, computer science education, technical skill bars, and awards presented in a spacious two-column composition. It is particularly suitable for front-end developers, full-stack engineers, and technical freelancers who have enough experience and achievements to fill a detailed single page.
Design details
- A tall left panel uses a charcoal upper block and outlined white lower section, joined by an oversized circular portrait with a white border.
- The candidate name is centered below the image, pairing a light first name with a heavy bold surname and a widely spaced job title.
- Profile and contact sections sit beneath the identity block, with black tag-shaped labels for mobile, email, and address.
- The wide right column gives clear priority to work experience and education through large uppercase headings, bold role titles, small company labels, right-aligned dates, and concise descriptions.
- Paired horizontal skill bars and star-shaped award markers complete the lower section, all in a strict monochrome palette.
The result is direct, high contrast, and confident. Its simple typography and lack of decorative color make the large portrait and precise information hierarchy stand out.
How to use it
- Download the ZIP file and open the layered PSD in Photoshop.
- Replace the large circular headshot with a high-resolution portrait that has a quiet background and enough room for the crop.
- Rewrite the profile and contact details, then add your strongest roles and qualifications in reverse chronological order.
- Rename the skill bars for your actual stack and adjust their fills honestly. Correct sample labels such as “Phytone” before exporting.
- Use the award area for hackathons, certifications, open-source milestones, or notable launches, then save a polished PDF for applications.
