@taedryn I've been on dozens of hiring committees that this point in my career. In that time, not a single person I've talked to has ever said anything about resume layouts or aesthetics. Few people even read the candidate's resume prior to the interview.
A former member of my thesis committee used to use a resume that looked like it was written in emacs.
Assuming you're not trying to a design-related position, I'm not sure resume aesthetics matter much any more.
