There it is. I am looking for suggestions on content, readibility and lastly, the overall design. (In order of importance)

i didn't read the actual content, but the design is mediocre. Fonts look a little big. I think your headlines should stand out a little more i.e. bold. Personally, I don't like the type you selected.

I would highlight some key-words or facts to permit a very quick reading. without reading it til the end, it seems too "literal"

The lined-pattern behind the name and address is a very bad idea. It makes it too busy, the address hard to read. The typeface on the name should be smaller.
Don't "design" your resume. Leave the design for your portfolio pieces. make the resume as simple as possible.

2 things i see.
-first, you might want to change the wording in your objective, it doesn't sound right. you might change
"This would give me great ambition and I would reach my full potential."
to
This would give me great ambition and allow me to reach my full potential.
or something like that.
-second, i'd structure the data more to make it easier to read. i should be able to scan your resume and easily find your hire dates, tenure, where it was exactly that you worked, etc.

people skim cvs, and as an actual designer's cv if you're going to put in graphic flourishes then they need to be shit hot, if they're not, then leave them out & keep it as simple as possible - just the facts every time...

rememebr it will be photocopied.
clarity of information and a decent layout is important.oh and quality content goes a long way. it's not very long is it? list hobbies, achievements. i see too many cv's that show no personality via the copy.

never say you're looking for a job. flipping burgers at burger king is a job. you are looking for a CAREER.

Ive worked in a few places, and had to hire
That would go in the bin in nearly every [reputable or not] UK agency just on first impressions alone.
Sorry if that sounds harsh but its true.

I like to see a few featured projects on a CV. 2 OR 3 That briefly explain a brief, execution, role in the project, what you actually created and the results. Not reems and reems, just a little information and URL if relevant.
The reason for this is you can quickly pick up a cv in an internal meeting or interview and have some immediate reference of what you did.
It also givres me a good idea of the sort of person they are because they have to write more and therefore show their character.

nice, but that yellow color is killing my eyes.
the goggles, they do nothing!

rasp, why would it go in the bin?
(If harsh is needed I can take it, I'm all for the pointers)
