Put a huge picture of yourself with a cheasy smile and a cartoony crown stuck on top of your head.
I'd vote for anyone that did that. |

Vector yourself. Vector graphics are very cool.

Yes, vector yourself! People lap that shit up. Seriously. It doesn't even have to be nice. In fact, the more graphic it is, the better. Keep it simple with 5 or less colours and a small amount of layers. Great visual impact.

If you have a steady hand, just use a lasso tool. It won't be perfect but it'll be good enough.
To prove it... http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/3186/kirstenvip39gx.jpg ^ I've never even TOUCHED a pen tool making this. |

^ OMG I REMEMBER THAT! THAT WAS AMAZING!
You just need to make sure you have a really good picture of yourself. The raw photo must be well lit and well shadowed for the vector effect to look good. |

lol, vectoring is fun.
i've never been able to do realistic vectoring though; i'm a lot better at abstract. my newest love is gradient vectors <3 |

Photoshop is fine. There's a pen tool on there too, and you CAN create "real" vectors, contrary to popular belief.
We totally had a debate topic about this before, but what I said is true. Believe it. |

^ You can!
Man. That debate brought me to tears laughing my butt off. And I've done all of my Vexels/Vectors/WHATEVER in Photoshop. Works perfectly fine. All you need is practice and patience. |

That debate was RETARDED. Dude, if you rasterize on Illustrator, it ain't a vector either.
 People are just stubborn.
