    also, you're not doing yourself any favours by breaking the mould. follow traditional cv practice: name, address, phone numbers and email at the top of the page, where someone in hr who is flipping through stacks of these things can see who you are immediately.

    you can also put a blurb at the top of the thing that tells whoever is looking at it exactly what you want to be doing, what kind of job you're looking for.

    generally, it's best to break a cv down into three parts: education, skills and experience. you can use some of the works that you've got there already as 'experience' but just describe them in a clear concise way and leave the images out.

    skills should be as simple as which programs you know and how well you know them, or any other more vocational or technical capabilities at which you excel.

    sorry to carp on! i've been working on mine and loads of friends' cvs lately, so i must have them on the brain...
