I like your rΓ©sume. I am french so i can't tell you what's good or not inside. But i really like thΓ© design, that's not "too much", it's light and easy too read so you CAN make thΓ© diffΓ©rence on thΓ© recruiter's desk.
I would like to do mine like yours.

Just a few suggestions:
- as mentioned by tessanomessa, do not place your age or DOB on your resume as you will most certainly be discriminated against.
- use a proper email address, while hotmail is considered OK, i would recommend something firstname.lastname@gmail.com or yourname@yourdomain.com
- You should considering changing your work history to simply "relevant work experience" and remove the fry cook/workshop crap. If you're apply for a web design/developer position somewhere, they don't care if you flipped burgers as a kid. They want to know what experience you've had that is actually relevant to the job you're applying for.
- For god sakes do not use the word "RESPONSIBLE" or "DUTIES INCLUDE", it makes you sound like you didn't give two shits about it and felt like it was a chore. You need to write action statements. Something like "Created an [adjective] brand image that reflected the vision of their organization" and try to include a result, because people want to know what the result was. In this case I can't think of one, but you want to consider a format similar to "I did this and this, and the result was this". I hope this makes sense.
- You can also include many more points in terms of what you did on each job, you can go into more depth as to not that you just coded something for them, but also HOW you coded it. When you write "I can write code", it doesn't really speak to the degree of how WELL you can code. Consider writing something like "wrote clean and valid code in XHTML/CSS" vs "responsible for coding".
- For your education, it's good that you included your qualifications, consider incorporating the logos for those certificates, it will look better. And remove your course list, no one will care.
- Same goes for hobbies and interests, I personally try to avoid these types of things as they make you look less professional and ultimately make the whole thing look like filler and shows to your potential employer that you have nothing better to fill your resume.
- Remove the "student" from your title under your name. It makes you automatically seem less qualified. (It'll be clear when they see you're still in school, but you don't want to shoot yourself in the foot when you don't have to.)
- While it's probably OK to include references on your resume, I advise against this. Instead, I'd recommend you created a separate document with your references and send it to your potential employer if and when they ask them. Also avoid using "References available upon request", its way too generic. If they care, they will ask. The reason for not including your references upfront is because a) your references may be old and you've neglected to keep in touch with them, which means if your potential employer decides to call them right off the bat before interviewing you, your references may sabotage your interview before you even had it.
- In terms of your summary at the bottom, that shouldn't be included in your resume. Since that text should be included in your actual cover letter. However, I may suggest for your sake since you have a fairly small resume to begin with, you can maybe combine your cover letter with your resume. But you'll need to place the paragraph at the very top, followed up your work history, education, and so forth as long as you can fit it onto 1 page, otherwise separate them completely.
I like where you're going with this, but if you want to actually get a job in the real world, you'll need to read over my suggestions and make some of my proposed changes. Another recommendation I can make is since you're looking to make it into the graphics/web industry. Start working on personal projects and/or projects for clients, build a portfolio website for yourself and brand yourself on the internet. That'll get you jobs.
Good luck, and feel free to msg me if you have any questions in regards to any of my suggetions.

I like it, but maybe add a vector design on the left side that goes up about half way to help give it a little more balance
