    I hate that so much of the time the word 'designed' means 'full of superfluous crap and meaningless style'

    So if that's what you mean then, no your cv should not be 'designed' but then nothing you ever produce should be in that case.

    If you are a designer then of course your cv should be designed, by which I mean you've thought carefully the hierarchy of the information you're presenting and chosen a suitable typeface etc.
    I'd recommend a simple, elegant, clean layout, carefully ordered but overall just a black and white pdf that you can send out.You will stand out from others by the quality of your typography and layout, but most of all by the content of the cv itself, then hopefully further on from the work in your portfolio
