I wanted this resume to represent me and not someone else. I didn't want it to lie so I made it straight forward, even though it is not very impressive because that's who I am. I made the word mark and headers like I did so it would stand out a little but no obnoxiously. I also used the yellow box because it gives a nice contrast to the blue font. For the type faces, I used souvenir and avenir. I used avenir for the word mark and headers because it is very easy to read, and the capital letters and lower case ones work well together. I used souvenir for the body type because it is a serif font, although they are very subtle, and it flows nicely with the avenir font in the headers. Souvenir is a very easy font to read because it does not bunch up and has a slightly larger x height that normal.
At first glance, I was impressed with your resume. I like the idea of your name and info on the side and I think the yellow and blue work well together. I also respect the hierarchy you have which makes the content very easy to read and understand. Lastly, I liked the bars in between the headers that separated the location and other information. The only thing I thought you could change would be the amount of white space at the bottom. The spacing is well done except for at the bottom and I think you might want to re space your headers and groupings so there isn't so much white space at the bottom. It gives the idea that there is something missing or that you don't have enough information to fill up the whole sheet. Overall though, well done.
