A CV template using pastel(ish) colour, inspired by Awesome CV, but including some more 'visual' elements, such as progressbars and progress circles. It also has a two column layout to make more of the space available in case it is supposed to be used as a resumé.
Some more information on it is in the blog post about it. This is the Github repo.
% a mashup of hipstercv / timelinecv and awesome-cv.
