Full-width colour banner with reversed type across the top. Free to use, with a live editor, your choice of accent colour and an instant PDF, Word or image download — no signup, no card and no watermark.
What this skin actually changes, compared with the plain document every template starts from.
Why it is built that wayThe gradient is generated from whichever accent you pick rather than being fixed, so the banner is genuinely different in each of the eight colours instead of being one artwork tinted eight ways.
Best for: Creative and agency roles reviewed by a human first. It is one of the 32 design-led templates here, built for a human opening the file: portfolio submissions, direct email applications and networking introductions. Two-column and heavily styled layouts are harder for applicant tracking systems to parse, so switch to one of the 40 ATS-safe templates for portal applications — your content carries across untouched.

Gradients band visibly in low-quality PDF compression and print poorly. For a document that has to survive both, Aurora gets a strong colour statement from a flat rule.

Banner is the closest match in the library to Aurora. Banner: Full-width colour banner with reversed type across the top — best for creative and agency roles reviewed by a human first. Aurora: A bold colour rule runs the full width above an oversized name — best for modern in-house roles where a human opens the file first. You can switch between the two at any point without retyping anything.
PDF, Word (.docx) or a JPG image — all three free, all downloaded instantly, none watermarked. PDF is the right default because it keeps your formatting identical on every device and parses reliably in applicant tracking systems; choose Word only when an employer specifically asks for it.
