This is especially for the kids in e-portfolio class: cool business card designs.
Here are some of my favorites.
A business card with a bit of a sardonic sense of humor. LOVE IT.

20 Creative Resumes
The intro vcd kids design their resumes second semester every year as a project. The rest of us probably have to redesign our resumes. Here are a few sources of inspiration, because I know I personally find resumes difficult to get creative with. Below are my personal favorites:
I'm really digging the proficiency charts here.
Because I am a huge dork. It's a resume styled like a Dungeons and Dragons character stat sheet if you aren't cool and in the know. Like me.

Make an impression
In this business, it's imperative that people remember your name. Anyone who is applying for a job, looking for freelance work, etc. is competing with lots of other designers. LOTS. It pays to practice your interview skills and get comfortable talking with people but you need to stand out from the crowd.
I found this fun little "ice-breaker" and thought I'd share it with everyone. It's a little cheezy, but if done right, can look pretty slick. I'll bet not many graphic designers resort to magic when talking to potential employers or clients, so it just *might* give you the edge over the other guy who DIDN'T do something interesting in his interview.
