lhnz, I agree with you, completely. A designer should be judged on how they present everything. ALL resumes should be considered an example of how they design, and thus part of their "portfolio." I have been a art director and seen many resumes in my tenure. If an applicant comes at the problem from a fresh angle, it is welcomed with open arms. A good art director or creative director can work with this to fix the issue of contact info being buried and whatnot, as others have pointed out. This is a great place to start!
