No offense, but I noticed half of the elements (sliders, filler logo, corner piece) you used are just from free packs on Deviant Art.

yep, most elements are from http://www.premiumpixels.com/

What zach is hinting at is that in order to attract potential clients someday, you will need to show what original work you are capable of. Using free, off-the-web content does show that you have a good eye for design (The layout and colors work very well together), but what it also implies is that you are incapable or unwilling to produce original creative content.

If you can produce original content to make designs like this someday, then you'll be in good shape.
