Jay,
Self-promo pieces are great. Especially if you write/illustrate/photograph them. It shows that you are curious and able in fields related to design. For example, my writing ability showcased in the promo book that I sent out everywhere got a lot of positive comments, and ultimately helped me land the current gig, which has been a great experience. Many designers today lack the ability to speak and write coherently and with eloquence, which makes them undesirable at best and a liability to employers at worst.
The book's on my site if you wanna see a PDF. Also I still have some copies left if you want one.
