Why didn't you just post the pdf instead of a zip file? I'm not about to download your cv to my computer and unzip it just to tell you what I think of it...
Sorry.

That looks quite good. I'm not sure about the layout on the "work experience" part, though. Maybe it should be two columns instead of one?
One column for freelance and one for [whatever-that-other-part-was...
Work more on the text layout, I think. It looks a bit messy here and there. But the start is good, and I'm sure you'll make it entirely perfect.
Good luck!

ill tell you what they told me in engineering school - dont sell yourself short. Supposedly everyone embellishes their resume, forcus more in skillset descriptions and your past experience on what you did or what you know. I think you need to fill out your freelance position descriptions, something along the lines of 'responsible for art direction, logo design, integration of web image with print collateral' etc etc, bear in mind a million of these things are going to be goign across one man's desk - you need to get yourself in to that interview.

beware of typos! Do spell check before sending it or you'll never get a job.
I agree that you should embellish some of your strong points like creativity, eagerness to learn new things, and passion for design. Try not too much on your weaknesses, such as lack of experience.
Also the skills section is a bit wordy, try to condense that section if you can.
good luck.

One more thing, don't list URL's unless they are live. Having a blank page or 404 doesn't look professional.
happy belated birthday!
