When writing a resume, you should always try to be as professional as possible. If you are a creative and artistic type, you might feel tempted to do your resume in a way that reflects that. And maybe some people will admire and respond positively to that. And some won't. In fact, they'll decide you are unprofessional, and toss your resume onto the "rejected" pile.
