    I think the best advice to give on a CV is target the content and the styling to who you're applying to.

    I have a one-page CV for download from my site that reflects my own style. If I'm applying for a job I really want I will send a customised CV that focuses on content relevant to that agency, and present it in a way that I feel compliments their house style and work they produce. I wouldn't recommend copying colors and such, but tailoring the look slightly to match them.

    If you're going for a Web Design job, I don't see how a CV in a box of pills would help your cause. I think the quirky formats would only work if you're applying for a role where your job would be to generate innovation with marketing.
