JamsBlah said:Even though the image is small the fact that the your name is in huge type to me is is a good point, it shouts to the person reading it meaning they won't forget your name too soon. Other than that the only thing that i can see that may be a problem is the note additions, while they are a fun extra it all depends on who reads the CV and what mood they are in. The additions may injure your chances rather than help.
Is that not just an edit of the one Sam Brown did for the Smashing Magazine article?

1. Lose the picture, don't really think you need it, plus the effects seem abit tacky.
2. There is no space for any of the text to breath, everything seems crammed in doesn't read very well.
I would start by setting up a document in InDesign with a decent grid, get everything laid out nice and clean in black and white first. Then you can start adding design elements, colour etc.
Also if you are going to be printing this I don't think the colours would reproduce very well at the moment.
