Unless I'm hiring for a position where design sensibility matters, I actively ignore things that are down to personal taste. But personally I find the colors way too loud, and I would question burning a lot of space on an image unless it was strongly relevant somehow.

I think the major function of a resume is to get you to the next stage. If this is for people who are asking you for something, then you already have their interest; getting to the next stage is about maintaining that interest. In that context, having something eye-catching and polarizing has little positive value and substantial risk. (If you were submitting paper resumes into a slush pile, getting attention can be more worth the risk, though.) So in your shoes I wouldn't do it.
