About

YAAC: Another Awesome CV was first based on a CV template from Alessandro Plasmati. This template used XeLaTeX engine and Fontin Sans font.

Personal data has moved on top of the first page just before the position and Fontin Sans font has been replaced by Source Sans Pro Font from Adobe. Font Awesome icons highlight important elements.

Unlike Alessandro Plasmati CV template, all layout stuff in YAAC: Another Awesome CV has moved in the Latex class file yaac-another-awesome-cv.cls to improve source code readability and style reusability.
